I'm experiencing some significant sides from HGH that I would like some advice on. First some back ground:
I'm taking generic blue top HGH. PM me for brand information if interested.
I started taking HGH about 10 weeks ago. I did 2iu a day for 50 days 5 on/ 2 off. No issues other than red welts at the injection site when injected SC. I switched to IM injections and had no reactions.
20 days ago I increased my dosage from 2iu 5 on/ 2 off to 4iu ED. 2 in the a.m. and 2 post work out. Both IM.
Recently (10 days) I've been experiencing significant pain/numbness in my hands and feet (which I know are a common side) as well as general joint pain (hips, knee's, elbows, shoulders). I also experience night sweat's (see other thread).
I've recently started the DC training routine. My weights are going up A LOT and my body weight is increasing while my body fat decreases so things are good. However, my hands hurt so bad I can barely hold dumb bells some days.
So here are my questions:
1) Should I go back to 2iu/day for a while and try again?
2) Should I try the "Gavin Protocol" on days that I train? I'm leaning toward trying this. My thinking is that even if I hurt on off days I can deal with that... Having it affect my training is a non-starter.
3) Should I switch brands and see if that helps?
4) Other suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
