Hi everyone!
I'm brand new to peptides and to this whole journey. Sitting here with 30mg of Reta and 10mg of Tesa and a pile of questions.
Quick bit of background: I've had a long history of food allergies and went into anaphylaxis once, which has left me extremely careful about absolutely everything.
Here's what worries me. I've read that the first week on Tesa can go badly, and that allergic reactions and even anaphylaxis happen sometimes. That frightens me, so I'd really welcome some advice. A friend told me to take benadryl during week one, 15 mins ahead of every pin. I also understand you're meant to stop after the 3 month cycle because your immune system builds tolerance, but someone said that restarting after the month off is worse again. So Tesa makes me nervous.
That aside, I'm excited to get going on Reta and see what happens - the end goal is super lean and shredded lol - but starting something new is always unnerving, especially when it means needles and unfamiliar Chinese chemicals.
Just to check the maths: every 10mg needs 1ml of bac water, if I have that right - so a 30mg vial of reta takes 3 ml of BAC. And call me stupid, but the 10 mark on the insulin syringe equals 1ml, right? For the Tesa, being thicker, I'd use 2ml of BAC since it's a 10mg vial. Then it's just: sterilise my hands, wipe the top with an alcohol pad, draw back the air for the dose I want, push the air into the vial, put the needle in sideways with the bottle upside down and push the plunger, then pinch the skin, stick it in and let it go. Sorry for the interrogation, I'm just very nervous.
On reta I've also read: 5 small meals a day, plenty of protein and water, and hold off on any big life decisions because your head goes into a don't-care, locked-in kind of state.
For Tesa: electrolytes matter, training intensity matters for keeping GH production up, and protein too, plus your cardio. In week one, sweating it out with benadryl and electrolytes apparently keeps the swelling, flushing and bad reactions away.
If anyone has the patience to read all that and answer, I'd be really grateful. Thank you so much.
