So like, how much of a stockpile do you have of your peptides?

Don't use those 3d printed cases. They're brittle and full of microplastics. Get yourself a pelican case and silicone vial holders. I have a 3d printer and I would never use 3d printed anything for eating let alone medical stuff. You can't see it but 3d printed items are brittle and you can sand it with your fingers alone.

Do you have a link to your favorite vial holder?

UH-OH

I just opened my 24oz food thermos to add some recently purchased kits and realized it will only hold about four-kits (with a desiccant pack, maybe 5 without). I have at least 6 more kits of various peps either already received or inbound in the next couple of weeks. This means I would need at least two more storage thermos's. I am certain my wife will not be a fan of me taking up all of that freezer space.

So yea, I just bought this dedicated Pep freezer from Amazon The listing says it goes down to -20 but we'll see. At least it has a lock....

I bit the bullet and purchased a Honeywell manual defrost mini freezer from Home Depot a few months back. Works pretty well for my needs. Has a lock on it also. I put a thermostat in it to see how well it maintained temperature and it averages about -11°. Bounces between -10.4° and -11.7°.

I did the exact same thing (but some off brand amazon). Mine is 1.1cuft and is currently running it's initial freeze.

I am still storing in thermos' and in fact just bought a couple more that should be here today. I'm thinking that these tiny freezers have huge temp swings when you open them. It could also keep the peps frozen for about 10 hours if the power goes out or freezer dies.

I also have notifications setup if the temp goes above zero degrees:

Actually the lowest I could find today is $1057/box Mounjaro so a dose of 2.5mg is $105.7/mg. (TL 10mg/bx) 3845mg tirzzzzzz would be $406,417!!

At @ITBioChemNerd's dose of 5mg $203,209!! And that's just tirzzzzzz

Crazy! And at latest prices it would cost “us” under $2k.

That’s just not ok. I feel horrible for everyone being denied this life saving med.

I very much understand. The thing about FB is that you can sign up with any email address and not use your real identity. Facebook Marketplace is absolutely the place to get used equipment (I work with very large machines and keep at least one spare in my warehouse at all times, with 3 actively running full time) so it makes sense that medical freezers are listed for relatively cheap. It's also a great place for groups that offer support for learning new things, especially when you are female and working to learn a male-dominated area of expertise. I found myself a bit unwelcome on industry-specific forums outside of FB. Everything can have a use, even Facebook 🙂

Right, with EL and NN you go from "big as a house" to "I coulda bought a house" getting healthy!

For shits and giggles I Google the cost of medications being advertised on television... Many of them make Mounjaro/Ozempic etc look like bargains.
  • Rinvoq $7812/mo
  • Dupixent $5000/mo
  • Skyrizi $11,382/mo
  • Humira $9065/mo
  • Keytruda $11,564 (3wk dose!)
  • Taltz $5690/mo

Now compare the number of people taking each drug you listed and compare it to percentage of obese / overweight people on the planet. Also account for the cost of manufacturing each of those vs a peptide (peptides are way cheaper).

Also, Dupixent is an extra grand and a half for the higher dose. I only know because I'm on it 💀

Does my freezer have a temp swing when opened, yes. It it significant enough IMO, no. The peaks in the picture show when I opened it to get something out or add something in, even when opened the freezer was still below freezing level.

Whoa that Keytruda price is crazy. My mom is on Keytruda because she has stage 4 lung cancer and her prognosis went from 1.5 years (which would be up in December) to indefinitely because it’s been such a miracle drug for her. Thankfully we’re in Canada and she gets it for free.

You're right, but I also like the idea of buying myself some time if the new, low-cost, freezer breaks down while I am out of town (which is often). I am in the process of measuring how long my thermal food container will stay below freezing after it is removed from the freezer. I need to protect my investment!

Yeah it’s been amazing! I know we all tout glp1s as miracle drugs (and they are!) but keytruda is the number one miracle drug in my life lol. I want to hug whoever invented it.

That's been Dupixent for me in my life. Averaged a 3-6 hour nasal polyp removal surgery every two years my entire life...until now 🥳

What temp sensors are using? Probe type or the ones that goes inside the fridge?

I found these Govee wireless sensors on Amazon. I was surprised that they stay connected inside the fridge/freezer and shocked that they even stay connected inside a thermos, inside the freezer. You can access from anywhere and setup notifications based on low/high temperature/humidity.

@GimmeABreak @exploitedworkerbee how big are y'all's houses? Wondering for the range on the gateway.
Click to expand...
3700 sq ft, all on one floor. The "hub" is in the garage, on one side of the house but I think the sensors connect to the hub or over bluetooth. It will switch to BT when my phone is in range of a sensor, otherwise it goes through the hub. I think BT is primarily for software/firmware updates (that it does automatically) and it might be a little more responsive than being connected only through the hub. I haven't tested range but have not had a sensor be unreadable from anywhere in the house. It also logs so you can see the temp/humidity history

Probably time to stop buying as I’ve more than maxxed out my peptide freezer cases. It represents about 6 months of RETA, 4 months of SEMA, 2 YEARS of CAGRI and 10 months of GLOW protocol once the final kit of BOC-157 arrives. THAT will put me over the top of my freezer-peptide-case-capacity!

Someone I know does voiceovers for pharmaceutical commercials and you cannot imagine how much she makes. She makes more than her husband who is a high ranking doctor in a prestigious university hospital system. She said ONE commercial will pay her six figures within 3 months (she makes money every time they air). I think she's done at least 5 commercials just this year for one of these meds. She said beauty and pharma pay the most for voiceover work.
