Week two on five milligrams. Energy is way up but sleep is solid when I finally rest. Overall mood better too.

Not obsessive about it, use an Apple watch and a ring. Sure there are technically better options but these fit my needs with low hassle.

Whatever direction you decide on, check a half-life calculator for your plan. Cutting back creates the same unexpected pharmacology as ramping up. For instance, if you wanted to go from 3mg weekly to 1.5mg weekly, you'd skip the next shot then restart 1.5mg two weeks later. Counter-intuitive but...

A few people I know swear by GHK-Cu for tightening. Results seem mixed but worth exploring if loose skin becomes an issue on your journey.

I take it on about half my weekdays at 5 mg and it really helps with my workouts. I'm able to push longer on runs, go faster, and when I do weights I feel way stronger.

The foot swelling would worry me even if it goes away overnight. Get another set of eyes on it, find an ER if that's all you have. Watch for pitting, one-sided puffiness, sudden changes, pain, or skin color shifts.

Thanks for sharing! Love the steady progress at low doses only titrating when needed. If those are twice weekly, right? Appreciate the consistency note and congrats on progress! What now?
