just started my 3rd week and so far the side effects have been minimal... I have been reporting all the things that I have noticed..
Sore elbows, knuckles cracking on there own, fingers going numb at night (minimal) and very strange dreams.. today I noticed that my fingers were a bit swollen.
for some this might be unmanageable but for me its not bad... starting next Monday I'm going to increase to 3ius..
The rule of thumb as described by my last TRT Counselor (guy knows his GH) is to SLOWLY increase the dose every 5-6 weeks until sides are uncomfortable. Once the sides are evident lower the dose .5 iu's every 2-3 weeks. Per his instructions some guys (like me) are hypersensitive and fine adjustments of .2 ui's may be necessary and obtainable using some math and diluting your GH to make the .2 increments possible.
It sounds to me thus far, you are not a hypersensitive responder like BB or myself. Some guys can run 10 iu's with no interruption to sleep or numbness while driving or typing. There is recent data suggesting >4 iu is proving responsible for bone growth, heart enlargement, damaged insulin response. These permanent sides effects can be argued but looking at the facial bone growth of many top BB's I won't argue, I'll just keep my iu's under 4.
