Who else has had to lower HGH bc of swelling in hands/ankles?

[Bio-hazard]

Recently started using a sponsors hgh generic kits. 4iu every day and it's been ab 8 weeks and I'm going to have to lower it to 2iu bc the swelling in my hands and ankles is causing constant issues with daily things. Anyone else had to lower dose as such a low dose to start with? Any tips?

Make sure hydration is up to par. Proper fluid intake and electrolyte balance.

Beyond that, titrating up slowly and letting the body acclimate. There’s also dandelion root or a small dose of a non potassium sparing diuretic like HCTZ.

The first time, yeah.

I don't go above 2 IU because of that. Even then, it's challenging to do detailed woodworking with hand tools.

Only at the very beginning, hasn't returned since.

One, sometimes lower quality gh does that because of the dimer. Not saying your is bad, but sometimes that's an issue.
Two, try slowly titrating up.
Three, take in lots of potassium.

I should add as well that taurine and ALA can help

Pretty common I would say.

I never go past 6iu. Things start to hurt lol.

I’m currently running 8iu and for some reason, out of nowhere CTS has hit me hard - I can barely sleep. It’s odd because I’ve been running 8-12iu for the last 5 months and have experienced lethargy at times but not cts until 2 weeks ago.

How much potassium do you generally take for this? I use 2:1 sodium : potassium in my intra

I had it really bad in the beginning to the point I had to wear carpal tunnel braces to sleep (thanks @slesh). After about three months it never returned even at high doses 10-12ius

Yup, I basically keep my potassium 2:1. I use a half teaspoon of salt with every meal plus intra and I take 500mg potassium with every meal (6 meals per day). Also between all the food, meat, eggs, yogurt, rice, oats, fruit, veggies, oj. My potassium intake is around 10g per day.

I’m gonna try this. Thanks man

My wife always went to bed after me, sometimes she would come to bed and try to initiate some business, and she would get a Braced up mitt rubbing on her skin and freak out
So only solo for me too

 

[bjjgear]

Even up to 12 IU Serostim and 18 IU generic before bed, never had a problem after the first month or so of using. I would wake up with numb hands at as little as 3 IU. But these days I guess I’m immune. Kind of wish I got sides so I could justify saving some money.

Same with me! It would wake me up 5-6 times a night. Got the braces and was able to sleep through the night. Went away after about 2 months

I’ve smashed in the middle of the night with my braces on

I had to quit my job and break up with my gf the CTS is so bad. You guys need to man up and pin that gh.
