Headaches from GH

[gbodt]

I am running 4iu 6 days on 1 day off and I am getting headaches everyday. Will this side go away or will it continue throughout my cycle? What helps these headaches?

Its a tumor.


Just kidding. I have never heard of people getting headaches from GH. Joint pain for sure, but not headaches. I would look into other causes then just GH.

Could be blood pressure from water retention....

Go use one of those free B/P reading machines at the drug store or whatever and check it out. You could also drop the GH for a couple of weeks and if the headaches go away then stop the GH.

so how does gh burn fat when it makes you retain water?

What does water retention do that would make you not burn fat? Please show me a correlation.

GH releases FFA's into the blood stream to be burned...thus in a caloric defecit those FFA's will be used as burned as fuel and fat loss will occur. GH also tends to cause water retention. You can visit an pharmacy site and look at the list of GH sides which include water retention, carpal tunnel, and even hypogylcemia in some.

well, i guess what i meant was , you might burn fat but youd still look fat with the water no? and im sure at 2-4 ius a day the sides are negligible, my guess anyhow

ive done alot of reading, to me, used properly , the pros outweigh the cons, there are side efects to any drug, just cant be using stupid amounts

Right, I figured that's what you meant. The side effects will be greatly different for each individual. For my evil twin, even at 4-5iu/day he get's edema around the ankles, numbness at night in his hands, and weight will increase between 4-6lbs due to additional water weight. There are people that will not show any sides at those dosages as well. Once ceasing the GH, in a matter of 2-3weeks all sides decline and water weight decreases back to normal and weight loss will be noticeable. Many drop GH 1-2 weeks out from contest as well due to this water weight.

I am having the same problems with headaches now :/ it appears no one really knows why. Did your headaches go away bud?

 

[gbodt]

forgotten post lol

Sorry for the lengthy delay in response, but I fell off for a bit. The headaches did eventually subside after I dropped the dosage by 2iu and then ramped it back up over the course of 6 weeks. Just getting back in the gym now and need some new workout ideas aimed at fat loss. Didn't hit the gym in over a year and turned into a fat slob lol. I will get it back though. Please any ideas as for fat loss workouts specifically aimed at 4-5 days a week, preferably interval training.

If you're looking at training aimed at fat loss, just keep your HR increased. So focus on things like super sets and minimal rest between sets.

I actually follow a 3 week plan (A,B,A,C, repeat). The A weeks are heavy training with low reps to ensure strength is gained/retained and the B and C weeks are a high volume week and a high intensity week. The volume is aimed at hypertrophy and the intensity is aimed at fat loss.

You could just jump into an intensity based workout scheme or could even manipulate what I do into a heavy week, intensity week (A,B, repeat) setup.

Tons of different ways to approach it.

Best of luck, bro.

Very common. Back off the dose some, maybe 1-2iu and then over the next week or two gradually increase the dose.

On my 3 rd vial of Kefei's. 2 Units initially now 4 so it's been about 2 weeks. My very first run with any GH. I've been getting headaches frequently for the past week. Don't know if it's the GH but don't know it's not.

Prob increased blood pressure

 

[SUPERXRNUTS]

My BP was 108/70 today with a headache. Looked up serostims on epacrates (medication reference) and headaches were listed as a "common" side effect.

Ive been on Kefei for a couple months...3iu gave me headaches...went down to 2iu and then 2.5iu..back at 3iu for 2 weeks and no more headaches

From what Ive read, dont worry, its just that you have good hgh

GH never gave me any headaches, but it had me feeling tired during the day. However, IGF 1 r3 has been giving me terrible headaches.
