Eat carbs.

Eat carbs.

I do. Lots of them. All day.

I generally don't eat 1-2 hours before I workout though... could this be part of the problem?

Your symptoms in the presence of carbs are atypical but every once in a while someone seems to suffer the way you are.

If I were you I would measure my blood glucose first thing in the morning and throughout the day. If it is really low then I would stop taking IGF-1 LR3.

likkayouth sent me a study "Insulin Autoimmune Syndrome Possibly Caused by Alpha Lipoic Acid" which probably doesn't directly apply to you but one aspect might.

Insulin Autoimmune Syndrome is a rare disease characterized by hypoglycemia and the development of autoantibodies to insulin without prior insulin administration. What I wonder is if some of those that use an altered form of IGF-1 namely IGF-1 LR3, develop antibodies to either IGF-1 LR3 itself, or possibly native IGF-1.

But no matter what the reason IF you can not keep the blood glucose levels up with carbs then you should IMHO stop administering the IGF-1 LR3.

You are going to experience lethargy and fatigue from igf. It's one of the side effects. The only thing I could say is to make sure you have some caffeine throughout the day. I usually have some type of tea throughout the day and no I'm not british. In the end though, you just gotta deal with it like the rest of us.

Yes.. like I said I take 400 mg's pre workout (always have) and that has always worked...

I took it last night like any other and nothing. zero effect from the caffiene was completely tired the whole time.

I've never messed with Slin or GH before and measuring blood is also something I've never done.. guess i'll start looking into it.
