Great idea! Before I made the work to school transition, I went to the dr and got everything checked I could possibly think of. Shit, I also went to the dermatologist, dentist and chiropractor, just to take advantage of the benefits that I would no longer have. :D

Goliath - ask for an EMG test (Electromyogram). They run electrical impulses down your arm and connect sensors to your fingers to see if the impulses are getting through, and measure to what degree. That is how they gauged my severity - they can tell you based on the EMG results. Before that, my primary doctor just said take some Advil, etc... what bullshit. Didn't do a damn thing for me.

Get the EMG, and good luck.

will do - thanks for the post! i may have been up a creek without a paddle in a few weeks had you not posted that. we'll see how it goes.

blm - i have been to the doctor 4 times in the past month, blood work, MRA, MRI, denstistry, etc... i bet my insurance company has recieved 10 grand worth of medical bills this month, lol.

Even when you reduce the dose it takes quite a while to abate. I got it at 3 iu eod.

[needsize]

just out of curiousity. my goal of running the gh is to combine it with insulin and heavy gear to gain as much mass as possible, I'm starting at 2iu per day, is that enough gh to help with this goal or do I want to raise it up fairly quick to at least 3iu per day

that's how it starts bro. if you stay at 5iu, it will most likely get 10x worse within the next 2-3 weeks.

lol - b-lean tried that and it didn't work. his right hand was completely numb all the time and he had lowered his dose to 1iu a day. he came off it completely and has been off for 5 days. it's just now starting to go away. i don't think it will improve until you come off completely, then let it go away. after it's gone, resume at a lower dose.

...that's what i'm doing and that's what ALL of the literature i've come across suggests.

bouncer, i was running it at 4 ius and now have dropped it to 3 ius everyday

it took a little over a month to hit me but its real bad now.

just sitting here typing my hands get a warm to hot feeling in them and go numb, pins and needles feeling, also it wakes me up a few times a night

i need to shake my hands to get the feeling back in them

i wear wraps now doing pullups,bent over rows,etc,etc because the hands go numb or hurt like a fuck.

but to me it tells me something is working so i will live with it , gotta fucking love it bro ,lol

and your the guy that talked me out of 3-4ius to 5-6iu per day. thanks alot! :D

The one thing to remember is that the CTS always resolves after the GH is discontinued. It's painful but if you can deal with it just suck it up.
