The useful move here is to separate what is established from what is widely repeated.

That holds where the measurement is reliable. Where it is noisy — and a lot of what gets tracked here is noisy — the same reasoning produces confident nonsense.

Pancreatitis scare with pancreatitis risk: had severe upper abdominal pain radiating to my back at week 13.

Saving this. It is the first explanation that did not require me to already understand it. Sending this to two other people who asked me the same thing last week.

Careful with the causal language. Two things moving together in a period when five things changed is not a mechanism, and stating it as one makes the thread less useful to somebody reading it later.

One concrete data point for the thread. Keep the original post as written when you update it, and add the correction underneath. An edited-away mistake is invisible to the next person who makes it.

Moderator note: a couple of off-topic posts removed. Thread quality here is what the rules are for. Keep it up.
