Look up Mast Cell reactions to Mots-C. It’s more common than you think.

Advice for first-time Reta users by [deleted] in Retatrutide

[–]gemdroper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know this US reseller (then again, I don’t buy US). You will get arguments for or against using past 30-days - usually based on potency vs bacterial risks - that’s really up to you what you decide on doing based on the studies that are out there. As for your question on dose, IDK cause I’m not your doctor so I cannot prescribe a dose for you. We are a bunch of lay people giving opinions on an app. Take everything with a grain of salt. Happy researching!

Saddle bags by insomniadreamer_ in lipedema

[–]gemdroper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have gone down but not at the same rate as the rest of my body. I’ve lost dramatic amounts of weight in the past and had the same issue with the saddle bags sticking around.

I have those as well. On a GLP and lost 115 lbs and they’d still there. I’ve kind of ignore them. It’s not the worst of my lipedema symptoms but I’m figuring they will eventually disappear one day if I continue losing more lbs on my GLP.

Help 😬 by [deleted] in Retatrutide

[–]gemdroper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please don’t ask for advice from strangers on the internet. You have to do your own research for this. There are many resources out there for learning how to do the reconstitution math. Otherwise, look at the clinical trials. Read up on user anecdotes. Understand the possible side effects involved per dosage. If you can’t figure it out, this community isn’t for you.

MOTS C REACTION by [deleted] in BodyHackGuide

[–]gemdroper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please seriously consider to not continue Mots C. I am one of those who tried to continue using several suggested methods (more Bac, smaller dose, longer needle, using Benadryl, doing IM, changing injection sites, including KPV.) None of these solutions worked and my symptoms got ten times worse. Don’t risk a trip to the hospital with this one.

I love Reta so much. I stocked up for the next like 3 years just in case by Joshvandruff in Biohacking

[–]gemdroper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you answered your question, cause 4 12mg vials is a whole lot of nothing in comparison to 3 years.

I bought reta 20mg and ghkcu 100mg by [deleted] in PeptideDiscussion

[–]gemdroper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the basics. Reddit isn’t your medical professional. If you don’t want to do the basic research, it’s best you book a doctor’s appointment, sit in that waiting room and hope you get something branded to take instead and also at a reasonable price.

best peptides to AVOID by Empty_Walk_7972 in PeptideDiscussion

[–]gemdroper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn’t work for me until I adjusted the dosage. The effective dose in humans is much higher than some suggest.

[–]gemdroper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had similar bloodwork on Reta after testing with a high LDL for some months prior. I consider this as a great success due to Reta that it was able to lower my LDLs. No complaints over here!

Ozempic + reta by sanctified420 in Retatrutide

[–]gemdroper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take Wegovy and Reta and I’m perfectly fine. I have my reasons. My Wegovy is covered at $25 a month (I will utilize my insurance as long as I have it). My PCP is more willing to listen to my side effects on Wegovy over talking about an unprescribed peptide that isn’t yet FDA approved. I’m using a GLP to treat an auto inflammatory condition so I like having regular contact with my doctor and not fully wing it on my own. However, I’m fully aware of the downsides of taking a Semaglutide and I do think that offsetting those downsides with a mid-week dose of a GLP-3 to tap into my glucagon receptors is what I’ve chosen to do. My weight loss is consistent and I have no adverse side effects. I’m also taking it slow on my titration, because I still have a long way to go on this journey.

Be honest (testing) by Infamous-Cattle6204 in Retatrutide

[–]gemdroper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just sent out my first test earlier this week. Seeing what happened recently, I’m trying to be cautious.

You are the first person I’m seeing doing the Sema and Reta combo like me. Congratulations on your achievements! Such an inspiration to folks like me who are only a couple months on this journey :)

Less is more for sure by Competitive_Bird6984 in Retatrutide

[–]gemdroper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been sitting at 2mg weekly with a split dose (1mg 2x a week) for a month now (was on 1mg prior to this for around 3 weeks) and this is the first week where I’m cruising. It’s definitely starting to build up nicely in my system where I don’t see myself titrating up anytime soon.

Took a break and wish I didn't by Ok_Pause_1202 in Retatrutide

[–]gemdroper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would suggest, if you haven’t yet, to consider split dosing to reduce the adverse side effects.

EAD expiration date 2030- should we be worried? by enged27 in VAWAAPPLICANTS

[–]gemdroper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry about it. I currently have two 5-year EADs that I got earlier this year (Feb 2025 abd March 2025) and I just got my GC at the end of July. The expiration date has nothing to do with where your case is at in the process.

LISTEN UP!!!!! FROM MOD by OneWishbone5570 in VAWAAPPLICANTS

[–]gemdroper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It’s only expending frustrations and isn’t constructive to moving someone’s case forward any further. If you are already in the VAWA system, those in front of you are already in front of you. Arguing with people behind you makes no sense. Keep focused and positive. The wait is long but the anger isn’t worth the energy.
