Keep us posted on your Tesa substitution. Did you find any benefit from HGH?
No obvious benefit from a very short cycle of HGH, just using a vial of 36 iu. The first time, the same kind of vial seemed to temporarily help my Achilles tendonitis, which is possible just from water retention since it was more pronounced then. Of course, people say to take HGH for 6 months or whatever. I'm too risk averse.
The small amount of facial "edema" that I thought was from HGH was all in my head (no pun intended). It was just subq fat, so I still need to lose weight/fat, so in theory I should stick with HGH since it's better for subq fat and fat in general. No obvious sides from HGH really for me, at 1-2 iu.
I tested my IGF-1 before starting (it runs about 190 naturally), but I didn't afterwards because I didn't feel like waiting at LabCorp and had discontinued anyway due to imaginary facial edema. But I will do a new baseline before starting tesa.
I have a backlog of peptides I am dealing with for "recovery." Like I am experimenting now with a stack of KPV and TA-1, in addition to the more obvious ones like BPC and TB-500 (which were not impressive so far and may take more time for effects to be noticeable). GHK/Cu is next.
