Dose splitting update on split dosing: instead of 2.4mg once weekly, I've been doing 1.2mg twice weekly (Mon/Thu) with my doctor's approval.

Filing a mild objection. Mild because I might be wrong; an objection because nobody has addressed the case that does not fit. Halving the dose and calling it splitting is not the same intervention, and this thread keeps mixing them. One changes the schedule; the other changes the exposure.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. Worth stating the units and the reference range whenever you post a number here. A large fraction of the apparent disagreement in these threads is two people using different units and both being right.

Adding the part of the answer the thread has not reached. Start from the measurement rather than the conclusion. Almost every disagreement here turns out to be two people measuring different things and comparing the numbers anyway.

One thing that is still open after Dr.RenalNash’s answer:

How would you tell the difference between that and the alternative explanation?

OP back with an update, since a thread like this is useless without one.

Following up because I said I would. I changed one thing, left everything else alone, and waited the full interval before looking. It resolved, and I cannot prove which half of that did it.
