Dandruff or scalp irritation? Try BLOO.
@evan-hinkle May I ask what website you used to source your BPC?
Also is temporarily raising your Growth hormone/Growth factor really that bad? I get the whole tumor growth thing but I see a lot of longevity clinics offering Hgh and other related compounds for pain recovery and other tissue regeneration properties which makes me think it cant be all that bad as some people say.
Lately I've been looking into injectable TB-500 and BPC-157 for treatment of my long standing health issues and some of the stuff that I'm reading sounds almost too good to be true which makes me think that there has to be some sort of catch to it. I'd like to hear your guys thoughts/experiences about this stuff before I start to research it on myself. Thanks!
@evan-hinkle Sounds good! Ill definitely update you with what comes next.
@evan-hinkle I think my fat intake is pretty good. I cook with a lot of butter and olive oil and eat plenty of fatty foods like bacon and steaks or meats with plenty of marbling. I do have a pint of ice cream in the freezer that I eat throughout the week as a dessert with my meals but I have never tried eating it before bed.
I have a bottle of Cynoplus(T3&T4) laying around that I hadn't gotten around to trying yet. Would taking a dose of this at night have a better outcome on my sleep than opposed to taking the dose in the morning?
I would guess that my liver health is in good shape as I'm pretty young and I don't smoke, drink or have a history of taking pills/prescription meds. There is one thing though. I had a recent blood test done and it revealed I had very low AST and ALT levels which my doctor said was fine but I have my doubts. I don't drink coffee but I am already pretty cold which is another reason for my thyroid supplementation. I can try drinking a cup of black coffee as an experiment to determine my glycogen storage status though.
Would OTC Bayer aspirin suffice? I have a bottle in my cabinet that I can definitely try out and see if it helps
I usually eat something easy to make since I am pretty tired when I come home so maybe a ham sandwich and some fruit or something like that. I eat around 8 or 9 and go to bed after that.
I wouldn't even know how to measure something like that haha, I know Ray talks about it but I haven't really gotten into the topic as I'm kind of knew to Ray Peat in general srry. For what its worth Benadryl does put me to bed but I feel groggy and tired the morning after I use it.
lastly Thank you for taking the time out to write this list for me. I prefer to have such an exhaustive list tbh as I'm sort of at my wits end with trying to correct my sleep issues and fatigue.
@evan-hinkle Definitely my ability to fall asleep as well as my overall sleep quality. I usually go to bed around 10PM but on the days that I take my dose I stay awake in bed till probably 1 or 2 in the morning and wake up feeling like crap until I dose again. Worth mentioning that I already suffer from sleep issues which is part of the reason why I am taking thyroid in the first place.
I started taking a small dose of 1mcg Cynomel (T3) and the results have been great! My energy is back and I no longer have that mid day crash and my mood and thinking have improved drastically over the last week. The only issues is that it seems to give me sleep issues and insomnia on the days that I take it. Is there anything I can do to avoid this or is it something that I am missing? I would really like to be successful with my first time of thyroid supplementation. Open to any suggestions
@Mallard6146 Interesting to see another person dealing with long covid here
I did a protocol of nicotine patches for about a month and it temporarily took away all my fatigue and PEM. The only downside is that it sadly started to give me sleep issues and insomnia so I had to stop using them. I find that either smoking cigarettes or using snus give me better results for eliminating my fatigue and not giving me as many sleep issues as the patches do.
Although everyone is different you should definitely try it and see how you feel since I see a lot of success stories coming out of nicotine use for long covid.
