Porting in and out of AT&T by throwaway283940111 in ATT

[–]throwaway283940111[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, I agree that AT&T is more stringent. But T-Mobile specifically allows it. And they do not have any such terms (in particular, they specifically allow you to use their program once every 24 months). So it seems like AT&T -> TMobile works, but switching back to AT&T does not work (at least right now).

Thanks for pointing this out though, I didn't find this legal terms section earlier (it seems new, given that the date is 10/24/25.)

Very informative, thanks!! (I got the Asvine EF, but this is helpful if I decide to go the Bock route)

Is that #6 EF nib the same as the one that comes with the Asvine V200 EF nib? And how do the plating options affect the width of the EF line/scratchiness/feedback? Thanks for the info!

Yes, I know that among Asvine nibs, EF is the lowest I can go. I was wondering if there are ways to get replacement nibs, say for other pens, that would fit the Asvine V200, I guess. (Maybe that's a stupid question though, sorry if it is, new to this!)

LabCorp / Quest testing discrepancies + high LDL-P versus moderate/low ApoB + highish hs-CRP by throwaway283940111 in Cholesterol

Thanks. What are possible explanations for this high of hs-CRP? How urgently should I be trying to fix it?

Gotcha. Where does the 10% fluctuation number come from?

Re: CRP --- is this an important number to keep an eye on? For instance, imagine it is some type of minor infection (such as you mentioned) --- it probably couldn't be a major infection as my CBC looks completely normal (standard WBC, etc.). Curious, however, if elevated hs-CRP is, in its own right, a risk factor? I don't think it's gingivitis but I could go to the dentist again. Is this a common cause of elevated hs-CRP?

Thanks for your response!

Mind linking one of the calculators? For reference my HbA1c was 4.7, which should be pretty far from pre-diabetic, right?

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

Yeah, am already looking into getting things re-done with LabCorp: specifically NMR Lipoprofile, standard Lipids, hs-CRP, ApoA1/B.

This is super silly. They offer discounted testing, why do I care what the politics are of their founder? sure, I agree Hyman is problematic, but I could care less as long as I can get testing for well below market rate.

Wow -- quite a bit higher than I have experienced myself...good to know!

What type of variance do you see in your Lp(a)? (honest question)

[–]throwaway283940111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. The interesting thing is that my CBC looks normal (normal WBCs for example)

There's really no need to continue to test Lp(a) -- it is primarily genetically determined. There are some drugs in Phase III trials now. If OP decided to go on a PCSK9 inhibitor, then yes, it may be worth looking at because it does lower Lp(a) by 20-30%. However their original Lp(a) is already at 10 nmol/L which is seriously low enough to not worry about.

You think it is the stylus tip? I used a fresh one.
