Caveats: Peptide therapoes ARE NOT FDA APPROVED!!! Talk to your doctor before you do anything and this is not medical advise. I decided to try semax and BPC157. I have special access to things... I mentioned to my botox neurologist and suddenly he got real excited and starts telling ME about them. I am just starting to check on how these things work. And experimenting on myself... My neurologists are very cooperative with me. Recently, I started a medication due to ADHD which I swear wasn't like this 25 years ago - maybe I daydreamed and thought alot and was always busy but... it seemed as if it progressed with the Stiff Person Syndrome as time went on.
In, restrospect, I should have check possible side effects like "may cause muscle spasms."... my bad, I am the one who said : "this has worked before". so I had been sucking up the spasms up and decided to take the second month of the spam inducing medication. I see my neuro week after next and will get his direction for a change of the the medication because obviously, it isn't going to be a long term choice due to my condition. Meanwhile, I started these peptides 3 weeks in.. somehow, the spasms stopped within two days of starting them. Not ALL the spasms, my muscles are still sore, but I need to know if they might normally stop even on the medication I am on now orr did those peptides do something for me? -I mentioned to my P*P that I was doing this and she had never heard of peptides at all!!
I guess I re-entered the medical world after three years when I had looked for alternatives for myself since the standard treatments, like many other illnesses just simply treat but don't help reverse the condition at all. They postpone the progression but don't turn them around eventually failing, needing more pills and not the plan I wanted to pursue. Before, all I was taught (except that I did go to an Osteopathic Medical School) was to treat with another pill. It was the mind, body and spirit concepts of Osteopathic Medicine that caused me to look for other choices that worked better. I was a later medical student and learned differently from my younger classmates and like most older students.
I have found the medical world is very different since I left disabled in 2019.
The following year, people started getting educated and that is good and bad. People are avoiding looking for yet another pill but instead are aiming for a healthier body At he same timme, they are doing some things that are potential dangerous along with delaying care, labs, or imaging that is needed. Ironically, the anxiety level for patients about everything including their health is very high. Understandably, our system has been broken, Insurance is expensive and doesn't pay back much. Deductibles are high so healthcare is avoided due to cost. (This is why I offer Direct Primary Care so that we can worry less about costs and spend the time needed to really do something instead of rotating patients every 15 minutes and with a prescription to at least have access to the doctor, maybe with the lower lab prices and longer visits, we can get resolution for health problems.
