Hi everyone, first post!
I'm 46 and never had used anything before other than pro hormones. At end of last summer, I decided to do my first cycle, as I figured at my age, I could use a boost. I decided on doing replacement doses of Test and HGh, not from a doc, but reputable source. Was doing 200mg of test once a week, and the equivalent of 10 iu of GH per week. Instead of doing the traditional 2iu/5days wk, I pinned 1/3 on three non consecutive days of the week ( approx 3.3 iu day on M/W/F)
I felt amazing! Great energy levels etc, strength up a bit, nothing drastic other than great feeling of well being.
Planned on doing test for 16 wks, added in 25mg a day of anavar at about the halfway point. Fast forward to the fall, at end of cycle. Of course, coming off test/var I had a little trouble with ED at first, feeling a little sluggish. So I purchased a some PCT over the Internet, pills that were to elevate test and IGF 1 levels. After a few days, felt like I was coming down with the flu. Then one day I started getting heart palpitations and just feeling sick. So I discountinued PCT pills. Palpitations went away. But then I started getting a series on infections eye infection, sinus infection, etc. thinking it would boost my immune system, I went back on the GH. I still continued to feel a little sick/ lethargic, but days I took GH I seemed to feel better. I did go to urgent care a few times and they gave me antibiotics for infections. Made appointment with a primary care doc, and quit the GH in April. About 2-3 weeks after stopping GH, I started losing hair at an excellerated rate. This was very unusual because I take finasteride daily and never had this problem! Went to doc a few weeks ago, did not tell him of my regimine, but stated because of my prolonged infections thought it may be my thyroid. TSH tests show normal range, at 0.78, with doc saying normal range is 0.35-4.94... Still my hair is falling out, I have bouts of occasional dizziness etc. trying to get back into doc to have further testing done on T3, T/4 etc..., has anything similar happened to anyone? I still have a lot of hair, and it's not yet noticeable to others. But the shower drain is full of hairs everyday and I'm afraid I'll be bald in a few months if this keeps up! Any suggestions???
