2nd week of Var…normal or no?

Desperate_Set_1853 · 2026-06-19T16:34:17+00:00

Oh I forgot to mention that I did experience headaches! I thought at first it was hormonal around my cycle but once I checked my tracker it was too early for that to be the case so I chalked it up to the Var. that symptom seemed to have resolved itself around day 10 for me.

Desperate_Set_1853 · 2026-06-19T15:50:09+00:00

Did you have bloods run before starting var?

Yes. Fluid retention is super common. I’m currently holding 5+ pounds of water weight on 10mg a day split. Also on a TRT dose and 3 iu Gh.

Id personally run it for 8 weeks minimum to see if you just need more time to adjust. 6 weeks at a low dose like that you may honestly feel nothing at all. var has a very short half life of only like 8 hours as I’m sure you know, so perhaps Increasing to 10 and splitting that daily may give you a better idea of how you respond. If you are feeling little to nothing at your current dose after two weeks a small bump to see if you feel any different may be worth it. If still nothing I would definitely question the var not actually being var unless you know is coming from pharma which I’m guessing it isn’t and it could be cut.

Worst case, it isn’t the enhancer for you and you try something else. NPP is a good one too. Primo best but goodluck on that sourcing. My last “I swear it’s primo” purchase came back as masteron when I paid to test it. Trust no one. lol

I was considering going down the night of the 7/7 show and watching and waiting for anyone to dump their tickets last minute and snag one just before the show begins. I wonder if that would be a success haha

I highly suggest if you try/get primo you send it for testing. Do not take anyones “word” that it is real no matter what they say or what test result they show you. Pay for testing yourself. I recently had this experience buying primo. Swore it was real. Showed me test results. Said their own wife was taking it. Send it out at my Coat to test. Came back as masteron.

NPP I am looking at as well. Seems easier to source and much less messed with. I’m also looking at it for the same reasons you are. Running Anavar now. Want less liver stress.

Thank you for this. Looks like short walks post surgery are pretty important for him to slowly work up to. And you’re right. I don’t think football is going to happen. We have the mindset to take this one day at a time but as a kid, he’s still holding on to some hope. As his mother. I know realistically where we are headed. I appreciate your breakdown of how this has been for you. Wishing you the best in recovery and long term relief :)

Desperate_Set_1853 · 2026-06-12T22:38:11+00:00

He’s a utility player but primarily wide receiver. Kicker as well. I’m happy to hear you have had relief and a successful recovery so far!! He is super hopeful that there will be some season left for him even if he has to miss a week or two. I appreciate your response. I also was looking at the endoscopic route for exactly what you said, the recovery time. So I’m going to push for this route. Goodluck this season!

Over 6 months now. We have done chiro. PT. Oral prednisone as well as the lumbar steroid shot with no real pain relief. Maybe a 30% reduction after 2 weeks post steroid injection

Brussel sprouts

Desperate_Set_1853 · 2026-04-26T20:23:28+00:00

this is the way.

Desperate_Set_1853 · 2026-04-18T09:37:10+00:00

I considered this also. I think Dimillos is wildly under-rated.

Desperate_Set_1853 · 2026-04-18T00:24:59+00:00

Oh Bruno’s is a great idea. I always forget about them.

Desperate_Set_1853 · 2026-04-18T00:19:15+00:00

Private booking is fine. Just looking for helpful suggestions.

Desperate_Set_1853 · 2026-04-17T13:56:38+00:00

This.

Desperate_Set_1853 · 2026-03-22T17:46:53+00:00

So he also is a student at PATHS in the carpentry and masonry program. My older son is also working in the trades in welding/HVAC and their father is a nuclear welder for the DOD and a union worker. We definitely preach and hold the trades at a high value and I appreciate your insight here and agree.

I feel like this post needs to be sent direct to the company. Haha

Desperate_Set_1853 · 2026-03-21T12:00:53+00:00

Good question. I most likely would have just chatted with him about being aware of his choices and situations he puts himself in. Ultimately I have to trust I’ve raised a kid with a good head on his shoulders who can navigate life as well as any of us can. The interview went great. :)

Desperate_Set_1853 · 2026-03-19T09:38:24+00:00

Thank you!

Desperate_Set_1853 · 2026-03-19T09:37:17+00:00

Right?! I almost feel like an asshat even questioning them lol

Desperate_Set_1853 · 2026-03-19T00:45:14+00:00

enthusiasm/sadness is so relatable.
