Bad numbness in hands at 2iu

[BigarmsAL]

Started hgh at 1 iu for 3 weeks then ramped it up to 2 well about three weeks into that my hands and even forearms started getting numb with terrible pain the very first time I ran hgh I started right at 4iu like an idiot and the numbness and pain was even worse I guess my question is should I keep going with it or should I take this as a sign that maybe it’s just not for me numbness is 90% at night upon waking or in the middle of the night

This happened to me too. I dealt with insane numbness and tingling for the first 2 months. After that, it subsided, and now I’m running 10iu a day with zero side effects.

One thing that really helped for me was doing multiple doses, with the latest being around 5pm.

Why does it cause numbness?

So you are saying I should stick it out and it will possibly subside ? Should I continue to up my dose or keep it at 2 longer

Why does it cause numbness?

Water retention that compresses the nerve in your wrist. Aka carpel tunnel

It will for sure subside, but it will take some time. I recommend staying at 2 until the sides go away. Then you can increase it by 1iu every couple weeks until you achieve your intended dosage. Also, if you’re running it IM, try sub q; some guys find that lessens sides.

R-ALA and natural dietetics also help for some, but I didn’t notice a difference.

Last but not least, make sure you’re drinking plenty of water and reduce your sodium intake. The numbness is due to water retention that’s compressing the nerve.
