Insomnia on Reta week one is a real pattern - autonomic activation from the GLP-1 effect can raise cortisol and disrupt sleep onset, usually settles in weeks 3-4 once the body adapts. Melatonin at 0.5mg about 90 minutes before bed helps the transition period without adding another variable to track.
Vacation is the real test - the med lowers the noise but the food reward response hasn't fully switched off, so a few days of eating what you want adds up fast. Eight days back isn't a disaster, it's just recalibration.
Get creatine, glutamine, 30g collagen with hyaluronic acid and C, then hit tendon strengthening exercise hard for the first 6 weeks. The long-term gains from that boost are absolutely vital.
only ran klow (has ghkcu) from that list, but also did mots-c, nad+, cjc-1295. recently developing an itch around injection areas—so many pins they'd map like a pincushion. maybe histamine buildup. wife and i had no reactions except one time she forgot the alcohol wipe.
Thanks for sharing. The welts on my outer thighs are rough cosmetically, even if they itch okay. Wondering if just one poke (GHK without the KPV) would cut down the swelling.
I've been on 0.25mg for weeks and the total numbness is crushing. No joy in anything. Like a switch flipped. All I want is to lay down and check out. Forcing work and parenting but nothing else. I was upbeat before and I can't do this anymore. Planning to stop. Sucks because the weight loss...
Dude! Seriously impressive! I (F44) have dropped 140 lbs but still have a way to go.
You look like you lost a whole person! I can't get over it! Your transformation is giving me the energy to keep going!
