Human Growth Hormone?

I have to agree, it has a place after high dose prednisone. I looked into the peptide angle it ended up being a bunch of broscience. HGH is expensive but you know what it will do. I cannot see taking it long term.

Would your GI prescribe HGH for UC?

No. Regular doctors wont touch it with a 10 foot pole. You need alternative doctors or anti-aging doctors....and bring some extra coin.

Will it make my hair grow back or cure my steroid diabetes?

Please be careful of HGH. It may have it's benefits but there are also some possible risks involved too.

Don't go crazy. If you blow all your money but flareup again where will you be then ? It is supposed to be taken for 6-18 months for rejuvination. Well after a few months all it did was lighten my wallet. Then I had to get my watch resized back DOWN because it was terrific for re-hydrating the joints and healing them but the hydration aspect goes away when you turn off the funds. Your feet keep growing but you wont get taller.

Looking at taking some hgh for the long term. Was going to start on peptides such as ghrp-6, mod grf etc. Really that plan was for overall health such as repairing my bones as the prednisone has messed me up big time over the year... and also to repair any damage in the body and make everything more efficient..

But im swayed between the two, hgh more expensive but maybe a better idea then peptide? Was just wondering if anyone uses hgh. I've read many reports of people repairing their damage from chrons and colitis via hgh.

Tank89, did you ever try anabolic steroids in pill forms? I've found a few people who are on it(their docs prescribed them) in some bodybuilding forums to prevent muscle loss and they either have UC or Crohn's. Just wondering.

You'd have to be taking silly amounts for your feet to grow i.e. giantism. 5iu 5x per week won't cause this, I have many bodybuilder friends a lot who are very advanced in the sport and take ridiculous amounts of aas/growth. One is 23 and takes 10iu of gh every day and has done for about a year n half and has had no issues like giantism. I wouldn't use this much though. Funds aren't an issue.

I took 4iu and my feet grew. My friend who competes said his did too. Not by much but enough to notice. Your mileage may vary. It certainly wont stop me from using it to heal aging joints from time to time. It worked magic no doctor was willing to help with. MRI confirmed degeneration and within weeks the pain was gone. After 3 months the value simply was not there like it was at the start. After my last mega prednisone taper I applied HGH for 4 weeks. Then I hit the weights hard because I had to stop while on blood thinners and my joints needed to be ready for the change.

As for the pill form of androgens they are hard on the liver. There are better alternatives for long term use.

Well in that case what is your oppinion of growth peptides, ghrp-6, cjc etc?

Yeah I've read this, mainly with use of oxandrolone, I was going to run a test-e cycle but along came this flare up so it was put off. Reason for the test e cycle is because my own hormones are shut down anyway.

Oxandrolone aka anavar is supposed to be a good drug in these cases, it's not that harsh on the liver as well in comparison to other orals.

Tank89, I'm actually into taking Anavar and going to ask my GI on Wednesday if he's willing to prescribe it for me. I've taken kazillions different bodybuilding supplements before but have never went on test cycle before. Do you have any advice or I know that I can get it online but I don't know which ones are the best. Since coming off the IV-steroids and high dose prednisone, I've lost at least 20lb of muscle mass so I think this may help me get back on track quicker.
Was also thinking about D bol on really low dose but I'm not familiar with this either.
Someone told me that Oxandrolone exactly isn't Anavar? Just chemical name? I know that you live in UK so do you get it from your friends?
Anything you recommend? or advice?

Im actually very interested in taking GH as well but havent done the research because Im not flare free yet. Whats the cost like? Ive been on Prednisone for 8yrs so I think it would be very benificial to me.

I also considered taking the Oral PHs but tbh if you're going to do that you might as well start pinning. Ill eventually do some test cycles but I want to try and go the legit route through a script.

Seemed like $250 lasted 2 weeks, then last time the price shot up to nearly 300. After 3 months I could not justify it but a 2 week round coming off prednisone and what not was a great idea before plunging back into weights. Friend was going the Asian route for 1/10 the cost but that is illegal and I really do not trust China.

Thank you. What did it cost you to get a prescription for it also? I've heard the hrt/trt clinics are the only ones that will write it and they charge a lot. I can see myself taking it for a few months at a time at that rate.

I have a source (firefighter friend) who can supply some stuff from Karachi but hes using it for different purposes. Id like to be monitored by a medical professional when I take it since Im on other drugs for UC too.

I just got the prescription for Oxandrolone from my GI but he gave me the 7.5mg 30 tabs with 1 refill. Isn't this dose too low to even get any benefits out of it?

Ive personally not read about many benefits of Anavar at low doses. Most guys cycle it at 80mg and above. I doubt a GI will ever prescribe you a high enough dosage that requires a PCT though.

I do not remember. I do remember when I had my card charged for $3300.00 and they all got thrown in jail. Apparently the owners had pain clinics too and that was fine but their predatory business practice of harassing the other clinics got the Feds attention. That shut it all down.

So I contacted my doctor directly and kept it going after the bank contested the charge and they were unable to answer. I never had to signup again, just that first time and then periodically a sports physical.

All my joints are 'regenerated'. I feel young and athletic and leading the boys into the bump runs at 11,000 feet in Breck months ago was proof positive of that.

Heading into flare zone - hospitalized 2008 late july, and flared august 2010 and wound up in ICU.

My goal is to beat that this year, hydration and air conditioning. Being able to bill 80 hours per week is going to keep me in front of my computer with the A/C cranking. By September I am home free.

I think HGH is fine and needs no monitoring. Take too much and you will get carpal tunnel, mine came back and I backed off and was fine. My point being you get obvious warning signs yourself.
