It is an actin sequestering peptide. It promotes migration of cells, formation of blood vessels, maturation of stem cells, inhibits inflammation, and super-duper-best-of-all promotes collagen deposition. Generally speaking, I am a late adopter of most of these "new products." I think there is a lot of hype around most of them that they may not live up to in reality. Most people take it and swear by the third day or so that they are good as new and healed. I came from a position of incredulity. In other words, "this mother fucker better sell itself to me." Over two months, it did.

I was the front seat passenger in a head on collision. It was my car but I wasn't driving due to some partying that occurred. My sober driver was simply driving too fast for conditions in a torrential downpour and we subsequently left the roadway impacting head on the passenger side with a doug fir. The doug fir won but my Audi A5 held its own. We literally walked out of there free from any life threatening issues. I took my first step knowing my right leg hurt and I simply collapsed with my foot pointing backwards and my tibia poking through my jeans all white and ivory. My friend the driver sustained no injuries whatsoever. I suppose I was just a little too close to the dash and my right leg smashed right under the glove box right in the sweet spot. It culminated with a compound tibia fx and shattered my fibula in six more places. Again, we were virtually unharmed in any other way. After surgery I was bed ridden with pain for over two months. As soon as I kicked the oxy that I'd become dependent upon and started to get my life back together I bought the exact same car a year newer in silver instead of black. It saved my life. That or the dark lord. I wanted silver in the first place anyway... There are six airbags in these rides and as I'm confident that two of them saved my life, I'm pretty sure the side impact floor bag pushed my leg up under the dash and is altruistically responsible for the catastrophic leg damage. We all felt really lucky anyway. My friend was pretty broken up but I don't blame her because I know she was sober and just not experienced enough to deal with the conditions. No hard feelings. I'm just happy we're both alive. It could have gone either way for sure. They had to cut my patellar tendon in order to place an intermedullary rod (a titatium rod running from just below the knee to just above the ankle, the length of the tibia). I found my self inevitably addicted to oxycontin which took an additional month past necessity to ween off from it to avoid savage flu like withdrawals. Its been a long damn road but I'm ready and determined to get back in the saddle and move on with my life. I was in the best shape of my life when it happened which makes this all the more frustrating but I've overcome worse in my life and I pray eventually this will be just another funny story to tell at the dinner table years from now. I am steadfast and confident that I can return to my baseline and even surpass the highest levels of fitness that I've ever experienced. I keep my spiritual core focused on my family but every other little bit of me is dedicated to this goal.

Something just occurring to me now as I read more threads on the forum is that I did spend about 4 of the last twelve months on high doses of oxycodone. I'm reading here and there about that suppressing hpta? I talked my doc into doing a simple endo panel last week and am still waiting on results...
Painkillers do alter natural test levels and other hormones. What panels were included in the "endo" panel?
I'd also recommend checking your LH and FSH if possible.

well I better outsource those ones because they'll be hard to justify if all else appears normal. I was thinking about just seeing and endo if the drawn levels are off in the first place. I'd go private but the only labs I've found in my area seem really expensive. Better keep looking.
