Tesa experience?

[RetaRX]

W2/D2 right quad new pins. Changed to terumo ultrasharp. The plunger is much smoother than bd ultrafine.
Sting was much less pronounced and only lasted 3-4 minutes.
Pinned at 10.30am, went to bed at 11.30pm, woke up at 7am. Good sleep quality.
Massive improvement on yesterday’s sleep quality.

W2/d3
new vial reconstituted with 3ml of bac water to see if it’ll reduce the sting. It didn’t.
Just stung longer whilst going in 🥴
Overall stinging around 11 min. 6/10
I’ll report on sleep tomorrow, right now I’m going to watch S1E2 of Raakh on prime. If you’re not watching it you should watch it.

Just started week 5. Closer to an itch than a sting. I'm not very consistent with dosing but it works out to 1-2 mg a day.

I have gained a pound or two over the past four weeks and doubled my reta over the same time. Harder to keep a deficit lately which might be related.

I take a blend with Ipa and ten minutes after the shot my stomach grumbles. It goes away within a half hour at the most, but I'm pretty sure that's the ghrelin mimicking property of ipa.

I'm lifting just after morning injection and on those three days, I often take another smaller dose before bed. If so, I occasionally skip the next day entirely (In addition to the weekend day I skip anyway.) I starting to see definite gains, but I've seen quick gains before when starting a weight training routine. Still I think it helps.

Initially, I felt sharper. Semax let me down, but Tesa/Ipa is noticeable in the mental clarity improvement. I don't know if I have gotten used to it lately or if it was a temporary effect, but I do think I get more done whether I feel it or not.

I started 9 days ago (1.5 per day, in the AM) and my weight shot up - I know it’s likely water weight, but I wasn’t expecting 3 to 4 lbs in a week. Has this been the norm for anyone else?

It’s normal to have a bit of water retention the first few weeks. I had a bit for the first 3-4 but I’ve been fine since. On week 8 now and I’m starting to finally notice the visceral fat starting to go away faster.

how many weeks do you plan to run it?

I'm on week 4 of Tesa/Ipa (2/.6mg daily) and my hands are starting to feel arthritic and tingle from time to time. I'm not sure how much longer I will continue taking this stuff if the sides don't subside.
