Chel..
i have NEVER heard of the side effects your roommate got from gh.. i have to assume they are from something else... she may have been experiencing other hormonal problems...
now as per the gh.. i run it 7days a week... 2ius a day.. the idea is to keep your levels constant.. some people will do 5on 2off, but that really has not shown to be better at all.. just easier on your pocketbook lol..
but if you can afford a continued run, i suggest 7days a week... i also prefer nighttime shots as they seem to aid in sleep which is what you are looking for as well as healing (skin) and other theraputic purposes..
the 1st month is a BITCH!!! i felt like i was back in puberty!!! boobs were very swollen, had a very painful and heavy period, bones ached really badly and i was tired all the time...
the 2nd month sides started diminishing and my healing started.. like a cut would heal overnight.. my energy started picking back up too... my skin was really clear.. no probs there..
by the 3rd month i began seeing some fat loss.. that for me seemed to take the longest..
by the 5th month i was where i wanted to be fat % wise.. my joints and old injuries were a thing of the past and i felt awesome!!
i am actually about to start back up on my gh cycle.. i swear by it in LOW DOSES over a longer period of time.. much better way to keep sides low and IGF-1 low... again, my purpose of gh was not for hypertrophy, but rather theraputic/fat loss purposes...
the bloat tends to remain throughout the duration of the cycle.. it absolutely tapers down after the first month, but when i stopped the gh all together after 5 months on, i dropped about 5lbs of water... so i did hold the water the whole time.. but it was not a bad bloaty feeling at all... i only noticed it in my skin a bit when i pinched it.. no biggy really though..
also keep in mind that gh metabolizes carbs a bit better too, so do keep complex carbs in.. keep the diet clean, but you don't have to be no carbs/keto with gh.. in fact it will through you into hypoglycemia, so you need some good carbs to support your system...
also, on a side note.. gh + anavar are the most synergistic combination to date.. Your immune system will be that of superman lol.. and the fat loss is propelled as well as your strength.. also gains during are pretty damn permanant as well...
seems like it is time for me to post my gh journal huh lol.. when i get some free time i will...
good luck girl
luv super
ps: what brand gh you using?
