I fixed my own GHK-cu stinging! Only using it since Tuesday, but here's what happened. Tuesday at 1.5mg gave me a dull, annoying ache like pressing a bruise, on-and-off itching, and a hard red blotch that stayed for days. Wednesday at 1.5mg felt the same, but a couple minutes with my massage gun...

With rapid weight loss you'll certainly likely lose muscle like that. I'm on TRT, gh and lift daily with 21 heavy sets, then 1-2 hours of cardio. Nine weeks in I've dropped 27.4lbs and actually gained a little muscle, though that isn't common among most users. Another 10-12lbs off and I'll be...

My weekly Reta is at 20mg now, but I might return to less. I raised the dose to lose more because side effects weren't holding me back. I lost 29% in 34 weeks, right on my target of 1% a week.

Recently started reta, 3rd week at 6mg (went 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6). Strangest effect: I stopped getting electric jolts in a tooth when I forget my morning antidepressant. Before reta those jolts were my natural reminder, showing up around lunch. Other effects are ordinary. I have absolutely no...

Same, my pcos is part of the picture, and week 3 of the wegovy pill is where I'm at. Sadly the scale hasn't moved much (only 3 weeks, I know), but holy moly, several inches are gone from that pcos belly, and my always-tight rings feel comfortable now.

That's true. I have type 2 plus other health problems and 27 years of diabetes. A1C is better though still above normal. The weight was falling off too fast at 10 mg, my max, so I stepped down gradually to 5 mg. If your A1C is fine and you keep losing on less medicine, staying put makes sense...

I feel you. I'm on max 15mg and A1c improved, but my weight has been flat for over a month, which is frustrating. On top of that my glucose is still pretty high even on MJ (I stopped metformin). Some time back Ozempic hit me with a nasty reaction. Sigh.

Seems like a fairly minor thing, though I'm not the person to give real guidance, might be something going on I just don't know about. Honest question though, since you can dose the second compound in pretty tiny amounts... wouldn't adjusting the actual dose make more sense than watering it down?

Not really knowledgeable on dosing myself. Some people online throw around huge figures. Anything past 40mg weekly gets pricey fast. Talked with a few folks who said 2mg per shot worked out fine for them, no dramatic results but still effective. Might bump mine up, might just stop altogether...

Everyone responds differently, could go completely smooth for you, or you might just deal with mild digestive slowdown since it delays gastric emptying. Millions are on this medication (a sizable chunk of both the US and Canadian population), yet only a small fraction show up in communities like...

Starting target's 80kg for now! Ideally landing at 65 eventually, though the height factor raises worry about looking too gaunt at that number, so just going by how things look along the way.

It all adds up over time! Dose increases should really follow actual progress rather than some fixed calendar anyway, that's the approach I'm taking too. Great start, keep it up!

The approval question is the real timeline to watch. The current results from research use are building the case but having it available through normal channels changes the access picture significantly. How much headroom do you still have left on the Tirz/Cagri combo before you need to make the...

Dealt with the exact same thing early on, started taking magnesium roughly sixty minutes ahead of sleep and it made a real difference. Still get up once or twice a night, but usually just for the bathroom or to switch positions.

95 lbs in 12 months on straight Tirz is one of the better results you'll see here. If it's still moving, finishing the Tirz first and using the Reta as the next chapter makes more sense than switching mid-result. The tapered response at this stage is pretty normal.
