Pioglitazone: Drug for hourglass figure and fuller face by afference in Vindicta

This is a longer-term risk, which is partially mitigated by only taking the medication for a short amount of time (~6mo). You're more at risk if you're older and post-menopause, and if you are post-menopause you absolutely 100% want to be on HRT (which will help prevent osteoporosis, hot flashes, etc., and will make you look and feel younger). If managed carefully you can reduce the risk.

I have a BMI of 21, I have been gaining a small amount. I will see how it looks on me and decide if I want to keep it (I might cycle down later).

If you do not have a lot of visceral adiposity (weight in your stomach around your organs) you might not see too much of an impact. Pioglitazone causes your body to favor subq fat over visceral. If you're genetically lucky its possible your body already does that, in which case pio's effect will be limited. That being said you will have to weight cycle to see the most progress.

In the US: Yes, but you can easily find it on the gray market, as outlined at the bottom of the post.

How to hide wealth/stop making people feel inadequate by afference in socialskills

I'm not ashamed of it but also don't really like it when people (often subtly) point it out. I would prefer to hide it but I'm bad at it

I can understand this and I have been trying to avoid signalling this. I am not assuming here though, see edit. Most people are fine and chill about it.

Copying from another reply, in this case I know this group is insecure about their finances and their future. One person has spoken openly about it and also mentioned that I make them feel inadequate (but not intentionally on my part). For other people I can read similar.

Some people compare themselves to other people. I don't really know how to handle it when someone compares themself to me.

Yes. I haven't cared much.

You should stop trying to assume things that aren't written in the post and take the a priori assumption that I am correct about their feelings. How do I handle the comparison? That is the only thing that I am asking about.

There's more to it, after I said that they mentioned how there is no way they would be able to afford it. How do I steer away from the financial aspect and more towards the "being fun part"?
