GH fatigue/body aches. What causes it?

[tjitsu]

So im not a big user 1-2iu, somedays take a few days off and take 10mg of Mk677 instead.

Every now and again all of a sudden I get extreme fatigue and body aches from Growth, so bad that I have to take tylenol, not joints but actual muscles. And it takes 5days to go away then im scared to use GH again.

Why does this happen and is there a way to combat it?

I've experienced the fatigue but not the aching muscles you've stated.

My hands also swell slightly and I lose a lot of grip strength.

guessing generics. usually mk677 will have more side effects than gh at a low dose. switch generics or go with a short trial of rx and see if results are similar.

TP’s Mauves, have used RX before but other then the hole in my wallet no difference.
Im just interested in the mechanism of why this happens?

Are u running other aas with it?
Sounds like “test flu”

Feeling tired on HGH is related to the increase of IGF1. I only use mine in the evening now a few hours before bed.

Not running any AAS atm, still feel shitty today even took my last shot on Sunday, so I doubt it’s igf.

What about t4 conversion? A coach at my gym once told me that’s why GH makes you tired and by taking T4 would solve the problem?!?!

Tjitsu nailed it, get your thyroid checked. I was in a similar boat and it turned out I was pretty hypothyroid. Also make sure your fasting glucose and A1c are alright.

Bloodwork is always a good thing to get to check thyroid levels among other things. typically though, gh will increase t4 to t3 conversion which will in turn lower t4 as a negative feedback so something happening that quickly sounds unlikely. The fatigue is pretty common for a lot of guys but the body aches sounds like your body/immune system is fighting something in the gh or the exogenous gh itself. If this is something that happens every time I would avoid gh, and stick to mk677 and switch with cjc1295/ipamorelin in cycles. Another thing to consider is if your immune system is attacking the gh you could possibly run thymosin alpha 1 with gh and see if this helps.

Ive tried 100mcgs of T4 and 200mcgs of T4 for huge periods of time because i thought it would help. Looking back, i dont think it made any difference in how i felt.

You might need T3. I take a combo because my body doesn't convert the T4 correctly.
