Thinking I might have HGH sides on face.

**fummins** · 07-30-2009, 09:47 AM

Kind of a wierd deal here, i have been on HGH at 2i.u. 5 on 2 off for about 4 months, and Test Sust at 125mG per week for about 6 months. My face is changing, and im not sure in a good way. The skin on my cheekbones has tightened up big time as has the loose skin under my neck. The concern is the skin from my nostrils out about 3/4" sideways and then down to my upper lip is swollen.I cant tell if its the normal progression of the HGH and the swelling or fat will even out with more HGH use or if im experiencing unwanted side effects. It gives the appearance there is a sunken area developing below my eye socket. Im assuming its the HGH and not the Test. What say the Bros? Stats: 6'1" @200# probably 10-12% BF and 51 years old. Thanks.

Pretty normal bro, some people get this from hgh, i am one. It does subside after a couple of months. Under my eyes they look puffy due to water retention. Try a mild otc dieuretic which should help.

Sounds logical, does a dieuretic increase BP? Thanks.

No bro, just get a natural dieuretic such as dandelion. You wont have any problems with blood pressure. You would only get that with a dieuretic such as lasix as it is potassium sparing.

im pretty sure he is talking about the puffyness under the eyes - not everyone gets it.. im prone to that - im gonna try what pete suggested and get some dandelion and see how that works..
other than that ive never noticed my "bone" structure change

I dont think lasix is potassium sparing. HCTZ is.

**fummins** · 08-03-2009, 10:42 AM

No change in bone structure, just loosing fat or swelling at uneven rate on the face, makes for an interesting mug!

Well its been 11 days since my initial post. I started on the Dandelion root and threw in a few Expel tabs to help control the swelling/bloating on my face and it hasnt helped. Looks like I may go off the HGH...

unless there is another way to control this side effect. For those that have had the swelling how long after quitting GH did it take your face to return to normal?

**petethemanc** · 08-11-2009, 02:56 PM

Sorry for the late reply fummins ive been away on holiday. I would say try 1iu ed and see how you react to the puffyness. I had this from pharm grade hgh and it does eventually go, dandelion does work for me but everyone is different. Believe it or not a lot of "womens" water retention tablets works very well for some, its a case of what works for you. Also for me i lowered my dose and worked my way back up slowly in conjunction with the dandelion. You might consider using ghrp & cjc instead of hgh if the puffyness is to much. And there are some reliable suppliers of these for good prices around (not a source offer!!)

**fummins** · 08-11-2009, 08:23 PM

No problem Pete, hope you had a good vacation. Im about out of HGH and dont think i am going to resupply,this is just making my ugly mug uglier

Im still debating if its the TEST or the HGH leaning out parts of my face out big time and just hasnt had time to catch up with the rest of my face, or whether its a localized puffiness from the HGH.What concerns me is the swelling is uneven, one side of my face very swollen the other not so much. I hope the Test isnt involved in the swelling as I would be hard pressed to give that up. Dollar for dollar you cant beat the T.

**petethemanc** · 08-14-2009, 05:21 PM

Hmmmm i cant see hgh making one side of your face more or less puffier than the other. What dose and what test are you running? also maybe post up any other meds your taking and what is your diet like?

I know it sounds bizarre but its all I can think of. I do 125 of Test Sust per week, more of a TRT doseage. My diet is in check, lots of skinless chicken, steak, fresh fruits and vegetables, lots of whey protein and casein protein before bed, no sodium added to anything. I do maybe a 6 pack of Coors light a week. I have been scratching my head trying to figure what the heck can be causing this. I ordered some Liquidex (sp) a form of Adex. hoping it will help me out.
