GH causing perma-gout.

[BeardedGuy]

So, 46 male, still heavy at 300lbs and 6’0”. About 2300 a day, been losing fat lately pretty nicely.
Tirz 12.5 / wk. and Test C, 140mg / wk split Sun PM and Thur AM.
Trying to add GH 1.5iu AM for lipolysis help. Pinning for two weeks now, 5 on, 2 off.
Friday I had 6 oz of steak and I woke up to a gout flare which won’t go away. Colchicine, allopurinol, water, some electrolyte water, and… still hurts Sunday night. Ideas? Is GH just not for me?

Hey, bit curious why you chose Tirz over reta?

Did you just start the allopurinol? It takes a while to lower your uric acid and while it's doing that it may actually cause more flares. I doubt it's the GH. Flares happen nearly randomly so you associate them with the last thing you did.

I'm nearly flare free (only minor twinges now and then) for about a year, after 6 months or so with Allo and tirz, and I've been running GH the whole time.

Edit to add: flares did kick up for me when I started losing weight on the tirz.

Also, Friday to Sunday is a rookie flare

Allo has been a while now. Tirz over a year.

A year ago Reta wasn’t as big. Plus, speedy things make me an asshole, Qsymia has me mean. And now I don’t know if Reta would do anything similar. PLUS now I have approx 15 years of Tirz in my stash, so I’m kind of pot-committed.

But I’m down 65 lbs since July 24 so Tirz is going well for me.

That’s sick man, I always feel like, if something’s working, don’t fix it. Keep it up

So that’s the thing, I was stalled for a while and adding GH may have broken me out. I stopped eating cheese around then too so might have been that. ‍

microdosing GLP1s can reduce uric acid, mazdutide showed a significant reduction in some studies.

Reta makes people an asshole? What like amphetamine does?

I don’t know if it does for others but my concern is that it would for me. Raising my heart rate is / might be enough to push up my temper. But as far as I know, no, it is not a known, side effect…I just choose to pass
