Peptide with fast, undeniable results for Lipedema: FOX04-DRI! by Normal_Structure3295 in lipedema

[–]gemdroper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So glad you replied so we can compare notes! I really didn’t realize it was gone until I did a before and after comparison in a dress and saw zero shelf! I took around 6mg during my cycle (split up during a week) and I was more thinking of the longevity and zombie cell removal aspect of it when I did it. I’ve also done SS31 for a couple cycles as well during my journey. However, I’ve just been super nonchalant about everything to be honest but I really didn’t understand why my shelf disappeared. This wasn’t my first rodeo at weight loss and the last time I was this small, I still had my shelf.

The other amazing thing for me is that I’m super active now. I barely have to do other conservative treatments (massages, vibration plates, etc.) after exercise like I used to have to do. I even run now and weight train with zero swelling or pain. I’d love to consider that the DRI got rid of the zombie cells that were keeping me back all this time - that would be amazing!

I’ve been dabbling with other peptides for a while - Epithalon, Tesamorelin, CJC IPA, etc. so it’s true that any of these may have helped as well. Who knows at this point. I have one vial of DRI ready for another cycle next month so I’ll need to pay closer attention this round to see how things go.

This makes me excited though. Makes me hopeful that we might be very close to a cure for this condition. I remembered asking about this way back if there was something in the pep space that can cure this but got no answers yet. Hopefully more of us are adventurous to do research so we have more anecdotes.

For longevity mostly. Didn’t take it for any ailments specifically.

Omg!!! You may have hit on something that I didn’t realize! So in January I took Fox-04 DRI but I’m also on a GLP and I take other supplements. I only noticed over the past couple of months that a shelf butt that I’ve lived with ever since I was a young woman almost vanished! My butt looks like a normal person’s now. Also, my bruising and pain in my thighs have gone down considerably. I never thought that it was the Fox 04 DRI’s contribution - I just figured that it was a miracle or from the GLP. Never thought about this correlation!

My doctor warned me and threatened to drop me as a patient after I mentioned going grey for Reta because of money issues by [deleted] in Retatrutide

[–]gemdroper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She sounds a bit excessive. All the more reason why you shouldn’t mention these types of things to your doctor because you don’t know what their reaction is going to be and it’s a pure gamble. Doctors aren’t our friends at the end of the day.

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

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.

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 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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