Hello Colleagues,
I received this message from a patient who had his first week of BPC-TB500
Hey doc just wanted to give you an update of how I’m feeling after the first week of the BPC&TB 500. After the second dose I started to notice some swelling, pain, and stiffness in my thumbs. After the third dose I felt it in the thumbs and both of my ankles. After my 4th dose, today I woke up throughout the night to the feeling of swelling, pain, and stiffness in my right hand along with tingling (almost as if my hand kept falling asleep). I would imagine it is what arthritis feels like. I have experienced this feeling in my hand before but only after days of intense arm workouts at the gym but I didn’t to any heavy lifting this week. No dose for the weekend so I’ll let you know how I feel after starting back up on Monday. Have a good weekend.
I asked him to hold off until symptoms resolve and then rechallenge. Is it reasonable to believe that it’s TB 500 responsible for this and not BPC. I feel I should avoid combos until I know the person responds to each.
Please advice.
