hgh side effects
I just started with Jintropin, two days. Had the same side effects both days and want to know if it is common. I felt tremendous pressure in my head, especially behind my eyes and tightness in my chest. I actually felt weak in my limbs and a little dizzy at times. I checked my blood pressure and it was normal. Being diabetic and not wanting any problems with pressure in my eyes, I don't want to go any further. I only took 1 iu. Could it be I just took too much?

Some people actually exhibit alergic reactions to GH for some reason, but I would think that it has something to do with the diabetes. It can really be either one, but it's not likely that you're having an alergic reaction. If I were a risk taker and just curious, I would drop the dose to .5IU and see if I get the same symptoms, if I did, then I would take some benedryl and then take the next scheduled dose of .5 IU and see if there is any difference. If not, then I would take the next dose of .5 IU and I would inject insulin at about the same time to see if there's any difference. I don't really suggest you do that, but that's probably what I would do if I was dead set on taking the GH, process of elimination. It's really not normal to have any side effects at all from taking 1 IU of GH.

It doesn't say what percentage, but among the adverse reactions found in high doses of GH administered to healthy adults, it is found that "infrequently" they had: headache, localized muscle pain, weakness, mild hyperglycemia and glucosuria. Glucosuria is the one of interest to you. Glucosuria is basically when you urinate glucose. For a diabetic, that can be dangerous. You should probably just avoid using GH.

Like I said, that was found in people taking high doses of GH. 1 IU is not a high dose. But it was also found to happen in healthy adults. You are not considered to be a health adult having diabetes.
One last thing you could try is to dilute the GH with sterile water instead of the diluent provided. Some people are sensative to the diluent and must dilute the GH with sterile water in order to avoid the reaction.

One last thing.....
If you have diabetes mellitus, your insulin dose may need to be adjusted when taking GH. It is also believed that GH MAY induce a state of insulin resistance, you have to be monitored closely by your doctor for glucose intolerance. It is not said that a diabetic CAN'T take GH, they just have to be very careful about it.
So, once again, you should probably discontinue use of GH.

I agree with D Barcelo. I would discontinue use and maybe seek an HRT doctor. Cuz it could be an allergy...or related to being a diabetic.

Thanks guys.
I did alot of research on gh, being diabetic. I was aware I would probably need to increase my insulin . The tightness in the chest & pressure in the eyes is a little scary. I think I'll hold off on taking anymore until I see my eye doctor and my regular doctor. I'll casually mention I'm thinking of taking GH and see what reaction I get. Knowing me, I'll probably try again at half the dose.

Good idea to speak to the doctor, but just realize that a lot of doctors don't really know a lot about GH if they don't deal with patients that need it.
