    HGH sides and how they feel to us!!!

    we all know the generic sides that eveyone talks about but i thought we could explain a few a bit more.

    Currently i have made the change from generic to pharm. (please lets stay on point no need to discuss which is better or which is junk, lets stick to sides regardless of quality)

    i am 3 days in at 2iu

    I went from waking every hour to waking once during the night. (2 week lapse between ugl and pharm). once a night for me is great sleep. before any type of gh i was up every hour has been that way as long as i can remember.

    Dream status unknown - i wake knowing a had a pretty detailed dream just dont remember the specifics.

    Hands - seem to have that fall asleep feeling id the best way to discribe. kind of that feeling the are just waking up. not sure how else to explain it. also when waking they seem to have that fallen asleep feeling as well.

    joints/knuckles - not really sore but more that felling of the third day after legs wokr out. kind of they were sore 2 days age but not so much now.

    CTS - not sure maybe more of a tightness in wrist top and bottom. if i hold my hand up in a kind of spiderman shooting a web style i feel i tightening or shaky fitigue feeling like pushing that las rep.

    Water retention - again not sure other then slight pressure in the eye and forehead. if you draw a line from ear to ear acraoss bridge of nose and mid forehead it would be in that area.

    lastly while typing this hand get a bit shaking from wrist fitigue.

    hope this was clear enough to understand and i hope more can give details on there experiences as well as relate or confirm some of mine.

    thanks all.

    maybe everyone misunderstood my intentions for making this thread.

    with the increase in hgh interest as well as more and more fakers out there we are going human lab rat more and more. there are very few way to determine good vs. bad. only sure way is to get from a Dr. Many say trust your source but even then can you really trust anyone making profit illegally. so it comes to being a human lab rat.


    WE all have heard the typical sides. CTS, water retention, numb fingers, joint pain. all this is very subjective and if you have never expierinced this sides before how do you know what they are.

    My intentions here was to get others to discribe in there own words there side expieriences, in hope to confirm/re-assure those who are unsure what they are feeling.

    I think this could be very helpfull and hope we can get some good participation.

    I've been on 5iu/ed bluetops for going on 4 years. I don't get any sides anymore. If I do 10iu/ed for a week then I can feel the sides. CTS and stiff joints are the sides I feel the most frequently. The thing I like most about the HGH is that I can eat like any donut loving dude and I can still stay pretty lean. I also notice and I can keep most of my gains when I run a cycle. My strength stays with me even after PCT. I'm coming up on 52 and I can still bench press 225lbs 30 reps and do 50 pull ups. If I could only take 1 substance, it would be HGH.

    Great thread. I'm on pharma grade GH (been on for 1 1/2 months now at 2iu) and the sides I have experienced are a small amount of joint pain (my left forearm has been stiff here lately) and waking up w/ numb hands. The numb hands are no joke! Mine get some numb it actually will wake me up. It feels like I can shoot electricity out of my hands like Rayden in mortal combat! lol I have noticed that the longer I sleep the more the numb hands are pronounced. So on the nights I only get 6-7 hours of sleep my hands don't get as numb as the nights when I get 8-9 hours.

    The sides for me are numbness and shooting
    pains in the hands, increased water retention for the first few weeks,
    better sleep and wicked dreams. I won't get into the differences between
    pharm and generic sides or results but I've used both on and off for many
    years and I can honestly say HGH is a wonder hormone. Its transform my
    whole body over the years and when ever I wanted to take myself to the
    next level which would be either leanness or building new tissue I'd always
    incorporate HGH. The sides were never really an issue for me to be honest
    because the results and gains what it produced were so positive the negatives
    were never really anything to worry about.

    One of my best runs with HGH was many
    years ago when I ran it for around 2 years straight while I was cycling
    on and off short burst stacks. The HGH use to keep my gains after cycles
    and infact pushed me further into the next level without any serious effect.
    I've ran it at high dose and low dose and if I could pick one other hormone
    to run along side my HRT it would be without doubt pharm grade HGH.

    ^^^Great input Marcus! So would you say that the HGH "supercharges" your AAS cycles when ran in conjunction?

    Hey Marcus, do you run HGH the same dose off and on cycle? Also, if it's not too personal how many ius a day do run?

    Thanks, Skills.

    I run hgh different these days because I have different goals but when I was using it to build lean tissue I would drop the dose down while off cycle and ramp it up high on cycle. I am running 4 ius at present but in the past ive gone up to 12ius while on a bulking cycle.

    Were you running pharm grade at 12ius per day??...because if you were...that must have been quite expensive.

    I wish it was just my hands. When I take it before bed, I've woken up with my arms completely numb from the shoulder down. I mean no feeling at all, I sit there and look at my arm and it doesn't even seem like it's mine until I try to move it. Weird though, because usually when a body part "falls asleep" from lack of blood flow (not from GH) it takes a few minutes to get feeling back and even then it feels all tingly like pins and needles. Within a few seconds of moving my arms around, feeling is completely restored and they feel normal again.

    Also so crazy wickedly vivid dreams from pinning before bed, but don't get them from pinning AM.

    ^^ I saw that when posted and man o man.

    And by the way more specifically my feet grew an entire size too. And I know this because I ordered the same exact shoe, same style, same model and too small. Had to go up a size.

    Also felt like an amazon to tell ya the truth. GH does not make ANYONE look smaller which was my goal. HAH!

    I like to pass this type of feedback to women that ask about gh therapy. All the women that I've been close to over the years know about my use and most wanted to try it.
    I got the impression that most women only seemed interested in the benefits ie, weight loss/skin improvements without seeming too concerned with possible negative sides.
    It's almost like they only heard the good parts, blah blah blah feel young, lose weight blah blah blah...
    I always try to stress that using growth is a lifestyle and requires Dr supervision, especially in females.

    Correct. Both. Hence probably why more exaggerated sides.

    Ivw run through most of the brand names. I will say the genentech makes the best gh.
    Nurtropin is by far the strongest I think. Most people say all pharma is the same.
    I say Ive run most of them and Nurtropin seems the strongest. Maybe its just me.

    Thanks for the info Razr! I've just got a prescription and am trying to figure out how I'm going to pay for 2iu a day lols...after seeing how much the pharmacy wants.

    Thanks Marcus. I was wondering. I had taken 18 months off the GH for reasons I still have not figured out. I am running 10ius a day now on cycle and 4 or 5 uis sounds about right to me for an off cycle dosage. Thanks again.

    Oh, and so I can add something to the thread. I get very little sides no matter what the dose. Even when I came back onto the GH a month ago I started at 10 ius. I put on some water weight real quick and had some good dreams for a few nights. The water completely dries out after a few weeks,. No pins and needle, no CTS, maybe slightly better sleep. Oh, one other positive I guess, my genitals become larger - my girlfriend noticed it too
