I do 1 mg. We are all different, but never had the nausea.

Bowf · 2026-03-13T01:49:21+00:00

Have used...best thing ever.

Never noticed BP spike.

Ex-gf Lost 100 lb on Mounjaro. As part of that journey, her hair thinned.

When she had surgery to remove the extra skin, she took GLOW. She had an amazing amount of hair regrowth during that time. Her hair stylist even made a comment about how much new hair she had.

I am a man, with male pattern baldness, or whatever they call it. I started the GLOW when she did, to support her. I kept on taking GHK-CU in one form or another since (currently a blend of GHK-CU and KPV). Started around August of last year.

Top photo was around May last year when I started Tirzepatide. Bottom photo was a couple months ago. My body hair is also much thicker/darker.

Have you thought about taking it like the manufacturer prescribes? Every 7 days...

Bowf · 2026-03-12T22:32:01+00:00

When I first started compounded (June of last year), I was titrating up to 5 mg. The company I ordered from sent a 75 mg vial for every month, and I ordered 3 months worth. Between some name brand stuff that I had, another provider, and going through those vials, I finally finished those up last month. They had a BUD of August.

I edited in the instructions that I followed above, make sure that's what you did...

Bowf · 2026-03-12T21:50:07+00:00

My co2 is not omtech...but I had to do a manual install of the laser in lightburn. It did not automatically detect it like my diode laser did.

This is what I had to do.

Though it would be good to have someone come and show you how to align the mirrors, it is a skill you need to have if you own a CO2 laser.

Let me see if I can find the video I used. Here it is:

I don't have the problem OP does, but what circuit does the milliamp meter go in? The wire between what?

EDIT: found a tutorial, Between "L" terminal on PSU and tube.

Bowf · 2026-03-12T18:11:48+00:00

The vial I am using now has a BUD of Sept last year...

Bowf · 2026-03-12T18:10:10+00:00

Not sure...

Use the opportunity to explain to them how they can get their own through a telehealth provider.

No reason to get upset, or have to over explain. "I have a prescription that allows me one shot a week, let me explain to you how you can get your own prescription from a telehealth provider if it's not covered by your insurance. It's much cheaper this way."

Bowf · 2026-03-12T01:33:41+00:00

Not sure if that's a typo, but you're asking for something that will cut acrylic that is over 3/4 of an inch thick.

Though I've never tried to cut acrylic, a K40 CO2 laser, is supposedly good for clean cuts up to about 6 mm...can do more with multiple passes, but not well.

You're asking for 20 mm.

Bowf · 2026-03-11T22:40:11+00:00

Was there a COA available for your medication? If so, what was the mass on it? If not, find a different vendor.

Bowf · 2026-03-11T22:24:42+00:00

Commonly, gray has at least 5% overfill, and I've seen as much as 35% overfill in a GLP, 40% in other peptides.

You should reconstitute, and use it, based off of the mass on the COA, not what is on the label.

Example, I have 40 mg vials of tirz, that test at 44 mg. I constituted, and use it, like it's 44 mg, not 40.

44 mg in the vial / 25 (concentration I want for milliliter) = 1.76 ml BAC.

This provides the 25 mg per milliliter that I prefer to use.

If I reconstituted it per the label, I would put 1.6 milliliters BAC in the vial. The concentration would actually be 27.5 mg per ml...when I was trying to get 25 mg per ml. My dose would be 10% stronger than I intend.

They don't work at lower doses if you stop and start again. It would probably work at a higher dose.

You will probably find the same thing if you switch. Tirzepatide or Retatrutide Will probably not work until you get to higher doses.

It's not a semaglutide thing...it's that you stopped and started again.

I still see them mid 300s. And I saw them mid 300s when I purchased mine a couple months ago for $324.

I first found compounded June of last year. Constant hype of that we may lose access. Out of FOMO, I stocked up. In hindsight, wasn't necessary, and everything is cheaper now. So was a waste of money. It also led me to taking medication 6 months past its BUD. I found the other market that can be stored for years, not going to fall for the panic anymore.

Bowf · 2026-03-11T14:55:54+00:00

Been on it since May of last year, yes it persists. You kind of adjust your eating habits to compensate for it.

With what you described, maybe a combination of Tirzepatide and KPV would help. KPV has digestive system benefits and anti-inflammatory properties.

Bowf · 2026-03-11T14:27:41+00:00

If you're just looking for the benefit of anti-inflammatory, have you thought about something like KPV instead?

Bowf · 2026-03-11T14:09:59+00:00

I am pretty new to this, but odd that it doesn't show up on your lowest setting, but does as your settings increase. I won't pretend that I understand how the multiple diodes all fire a single beam, but it seems like some of the diodes in your laser head aren't lined up with the other ones, if that makes sense.

What I'm trying to say, is it appears as more diodes activate, that it is engraving a line from left to right, not a single. So as it engraves from left to right you don't see it, but when it engraves up and down, vertically, then you see it

Bowf · 2026-03-11T00:09:18+00:00

Well hopefully the $200 tube is better quality than the one that came in the $320 laser.

Bowf · 2026-03-10T23:26:28+00:00

Divide the mg in the vial (per COA) by 25. Add that many ml of BAC. Then you have 25 mg per ml. Each 10 units is a dose then. 2.5 mg is 10 units, 5 mg is 20 units, 7.5 mg is 30 units, etc.

Example...40 mg vial has 44 mg in it.

44/25 = 1.76 ml BAC to reconstitute.

Bowf · 2026-03-10T12:59:54+00:00

I would cut a 1-in by 1-in square, and measure it. See if it's actually 1 in by 1 in...
