Go through periods of water retention/inflammation?

[JaredLinez]

Anyone else randomly go through cycles like this?

Every several weeks or so I’ll retain water and will get less tight skin etc. and feel quite inflammed. Usually resolved itself over a week or so, but curious if anyone else gets this? Happens on cruise or cycle for me.

Dose diet change around this time? Food intolerance?

Nah, I’m on a meal plan so everything is consistent. It’s really honestly random.

As I type this out... it sounds like it’s “my time of the month” I’m explaining lol

Libido usually crashes a bit too

I have exactly the same - I can't explain it

Every now and then my legs and groin will hold a stupid amount of water if I relax on the diet and also throw in a few drinks on the weekend. That’s just on a trt test dose and gh. I mean like fucking gross looking

Same for me...thought it was related to zdding a new compound like tren upping gh dose or a local inflammation after injection... usually coming with disgust of my every day diet so far and some kind of a light flu..

How is your digestion during these phases or before and after??

gut health , and maintenance of healthy gut flora can be very cyclical and cause bouts of inflammation , fatigue , poor appetite and so on.

think back , does your bowel movements change before , during or after?
do you get gas , or beltching more than norma??

Best way to put it tbh. Very uncomfortable. Good to know this isn’t just me this happens to.

Sometimes digestion goes to shit too yeah. But other times honestly it’s fine and this still happens. And it’s less stomach bloating and more water retention, so not sure if that’s exactly digestive related.

Yeah. Can’t ever seem to come to any consistent conclusion. All I can do usually is tough it out and accept it’ll subside eventually.

That is pretty common and could be due to 101 different reasons. There are many obvious things but some obscure things that you may not have thought about. Even the amount of time you stand or sit in the day could effect things. Do you get occasional tissue work/massages? Then the more obvious things such as drugs, supplements and medications. Do you use different preworkouts or eaa's etc? Some people may take in slightly different amounts of caffeine, vitamin c, b6 or magnesium etc week to week so that could have an effect (they all help with fluid retention). Do you use HGH?

Anyone who is holding water the body will want to flush it eventually so sometimes that could be a natural thing or it could be brought on by something you use/take (coffee for example). Do you drink the same amount or type of coffee every single week? Do you ever drink alcohol? As long as you aren't holding large amounts of water retention or you're not always inflammed I wouldn't really worry about it. It should go without stating if health is a concern you need to make sure bp, hr, bg and all blood markers (including crp etc) are in range.

I get this from lack of sleep or even mildly excess sodium…and it sucks
