GH issues
First time trying Compound. Started GH aggressively at 3iu for 6 weeks then dropped down to 1.75 iu due to the CTS. Over the course of 3-4 weeks then built back up to 3 ius (split 1.5 am/pm) and felt normal. Then worked my way up to 4iu over two weeks.
Long story short my body did not like that. Insane CTS at night that is debilitating. Insane amounts of bloat. So I dropped back to 2 ius (once at night). Bloat is gone but the CTS at night is still there
Anyone else have this many issues with gh ? Bloat, crippling CTS at night, little to no extra energy, decent sleep, recovery time the same as pre use
Past Blood work has proven this is legit product. Additionally, I Just did a comprehensive lab and should have results next week.

Yes I get these same sides. I CANNOT pin at night. I wake up with the side effects ten times worse. So I pin in the AM . Actually now i can with a different brand but when I was having all these side effects I couldn’t use it at night at all. I recommend either all in morning or split morning and early afternoon.
I have another brand to try. I’ll do that next. I’ll also just watch my carb intake. Seems the higher carb intake the more bloat, the higher my BP is at end of day 154/65, more hand pain
This morning BP was 139/70. GH injection
I still get it with the different brand it’s just seems to be less impacted by the timing. Now I just kinda have it no matter what. But with the other brand, my hands would be massive if I did it at night
I barely get cts at 15 i.u a day But would get bad migraines daily for the first month
LandskiyHey man. Haven't felt anything like that since starting to inject GH in the mornings. After I wake up I do a shot of 5iu and do something for at least half an hour and then I go to breakfast. Try that also and do you drink water at least 30ml per kilo?
Once I went to 3 iu the second time it was split am/pn
I drink 1-2 gallons of water a day
I've found splitting the dose helps reduce side effects in comparison to a large dose. If you want to run 3 iu try 1 iu first thing am, 1 iu mid day and 1 iu before bed. Or even just 1 am and 1 pm to start. Bump that up to 1.25 am/pm after 1-2 weeks and so on. Once you get up to 1.5 am/pm break it in to the 1 iu 3 times a day and keep going until you reach your goal.
As far as the CTS/weird feeling forearms at night try placing icy hot/salonpas patches on the offending limb or get yourself some gauze and medical tape and tightly wrap the limb that's bothering you. The brain can notice a ton of different inputs from the body. But it's not really good at actively noticing multiple different inputs at the same time. By giving your mind another more obvious input to pay attention to you may be able to ignore the cts feeling for a while. If you actively pay attention to it you'll still feel it. So throw on some mindless show you've seen a million times, try one of the 2 things i mentioned and you should be able to ignore it long enough to get at least some sleep.
anvilFirst off - congrats on being a god damn mountain of a man. I'm currently at 6iu am/pm split it's slightly feel the cts but my hands are numb for about 4 hours after each shot. I don't bloat, I contribute that to hydration. Have you just taking all at night, or breaking it up into 3 administrations?
BysandtrysHow's your blood pressure?
If it's elevated, something like an ARB could be useful for managing it.
Has the added benefit of reducing fluid retention which might help with some of the sides you're experiencing.
Go slow with GH dose titration.
Give your body time to adjust each time you increase.
Also make sure you have a balanced electrolyte intake.
Blood pressure is ok. 139/70
Whenever im bloated its through the roof so I don’t drink
