A bit, maybe too much, about me. Full menopause since Nov 2020 (only 54 today) and I've been on full HRT for about a year and a half and Tirzepatide from my new Dr. since April. She wanted me to start at 2.5 but I had been reading around and listening to podcasts and I decided to start at 1.0 (did 1.25, then .05 and decided on the 1.0). I told her I wanted to start lower and she said she didn't recommend that. At my follow up I let her know I went ahead and did what I wanted (the lower) and that I was happy with it, particularly because I have a big concern about loose skin. She recommended I try Sermorelin, if I was worried about loose skin (this is loose skin I’ve been born with and getting worse with old age, not from weight loss). I never heard of anything other than the GLP 1s but I just went for it and got that from her as well. I did like the one vial of Serm. I've done and have now been off it for about 4 weeks.
Anyway, that is what got me into looking into the Sermorelin and piqued my interest in many other peptides I learned about...I had no idea all this existed! From there, I've been reading and looking and looking and reading and being super confused all the while. Not only learning about peptides, but also about all these discussion platforms I've never heard of and feeling like I'm reading a book with every 5th page missing.
Right now, I'm struggling to pull the trigger on ordering myself but because of several things with my doc a) she never mentioned at my well visit that it'd be a good idea to do a mammogram (I got one) b) my script for testosterone cream was written incorrectly to the local pharm (I noticed and got it corrected) c) there was a discrepancy on the reconstituting of the Sermorelin between her instructions and the non-local compounding instructions (not that that one is all on her), I think I'm kind of going it alone already to some extent. Maybe I can go further.
I also have quite a collection of aches and pains so I am looking into something specific I’ve seen for that and would like to try…
Have I said enough but not too much?
If you're interested, I'm 5'3" started at 168 and am now at 155, very low and slow, and I'm happy about that. These past two weeks I've upped my dose to 1.25. I almost feel like the Serm. reduced the effectiveness of the Tirz. once I came off the Serm., but that is probably a discussion for a different time and....thread? forum? You know what I'm trying to say.
Well, I do feel like a squirrel ate those breadcrumbs everyone was talking about but I’ve landed here after some false starts and I’m hoping to find enough support to really get moving forward. I do tend toward indecision, brain fog, and inattention so none of that is super conducive to this little endeavor!
In any event, I'd like to take a moment to say I am commited to the importance of both safety and harm reduction!
