Hey whatever I'm going thru and you and others is pretty messed up. But I assure you I looked and felt younger (ppl commented, photos didn't lie either, nor weight fitness, breathing, running, lifts, attraction, etc... "sharpness"). I felt younger 23+ compared to 21.5-22. Bc effexor bs was cured (how is hard to explain).
I look younger now than a yr ago for sure. Compared to right before Lamo and Fin (where Lamo hurt hair, T.E. or worse A.A.), myb not... but still ways to go, and that was like child level hair even tho lost with adderall and dex (a bit not much, a lot on adderall, insane amts on lamo, like chemo almost).

Sry didnt even see this Q.
I bought supplements from TEI first time this month. For 2 months. Its around 90€ for each month.
But yes, exactly what they say. And you?
How do you feel being on supps?
Havent gotten my supps yet. Im excited if the glandulars will help me get my Sodium levels up.
Somehow my adrenals dont want to join in.

@HerrFisch My baseline was up from 1 month of ARL and hydrogen water. Plus eating healthy and more veggies.
I loaded potassium for a few days last week and felt terrible, tried to exercise no good. *This week I have new higher baseline. I have tolerated exercising a little better. So maybe the potassium load helped. (Also Did a Epsom salt bath and whey protein shake with added histidine and arginine 500mg each)
The up swings and down swings are crazy in this disease. Glad I’m having some upswings at least. I was NOT getting those before I started trying shit recommend on this forum. I know I’m improving when I have a bad day and I remember this is what I felt like all the time before the up swing
Have TEI supplements to start next week

I was always super veiny I have veins you can see everywhere. I even had a varicose vein in my leg in my leg when I was in college (20 yrs old). PFS had no effect on this, still have them.
NO my skin texture is bad. Skin feels dry, with no moisture if you touch it. It's hard to describe, feels like rubber or something.
not really. one potato has 800 mg of potassium i think. one banana is like 400 or 500mg. coconut water has a lot. so does orange juice.

I did 4 days. First 2 days I felt terrible couldn’t sleep right, second two were okay, but still felt weird with all that those pills in me.
I’m going to stop all experimenting/ supplements for a few months. I have life shit I have to attend to like job interviews, exams, etc. I am in a better place since all the experimenting over the summer (not cured at all) and I need keep this consistency to get stuff done these few months.
Happy with progress but of course wish I was more recovered.
I’ll be back to experimenting in a few months once things settle down for me

I try stuff recommended here to get my body back to how it used to function. I can exercise 1/10 of my former strength / endurance. Eating food will not fix me
And I can not get 12 grams of K in food which is what I was taking before I quit the experiment.
I would try the high dose K again I did get some snap back and think it was helpful. How much , hard to say
what do you mean eating food will not fix you? your hair test literally says your calcium to potassium ratio is way overloaded, which i'm assuming would mean you need more potassium rich foods

Dude get on TEI in some way or form. Your copper is going to cause issues pfs or not. It will make you think in bad ways- when I got rid of copper my thinking just improved so much. Copper is main cause of a lot of mental disorders.
In some way or form I suggest if u can’t do daily TEI (like myself ), take it once every 3 or 4 days. Or if you can tolerate it, just take it at night. Take for 10 days, stop for 20. Just mess around, see what you can tolerate while doing normal life stuff.
I’m in similar position to u. I need to stop experimenting and get back to work, normal life stuff. But I’m trying to put myself in a position where I can do both. Just “experiment lightly” per say.

I know I have to get rid of the copper. I meet the symptoms perfectly- one minute I can feel like I’m on top of the world and the next minute I’m feeling like the world is doomed. Mini Mood swings , had his before pfs I think. Just got worse after

I trialed Resvertrol for a week since my hair test is high copper. Tapered up to 100mg and then back down off. I felt minimal effects but they were:
-most significant was my libido was intense.
-felt like I was in withdrawal in between doses. I was anxious and needed to take the next dose to calm my body down.
-maybe felt a bit better energy
Effects were minimal overall

I am trialing R-andro: tapered up to 200 and now going back down over, will be 10 days or so for the cycle. Similar to the resvertrol I don’t feel much different. But few things:
-increase pump / tone to my muscles (very minimal tho , I hate this pfs symptom)
-road rage / getting pissed off easily , this is not normal for me.
-better mentally , feel like I have an interest to go out and exercise or do something (again not too huge, minor increase)
-minor sharp head pain after a dose
-low libido , weak to no orgasm, slightly weaker erection (but still no problem achieving one)
Again effects were minimal overall (however I still have a few days left)
Definitely don’t feel worse overall , which is what some notice and then feel better off of it , so disappointed about that , since maybe I won’t get a snap back. But at least it’s something that makes me feel a small bit better while on it.
This is like the opposite of TEI for me. On TEI I feel like shit !!! Then after I get off I feel a bit better. However that effect isn’t huge either. I think I feel better on R-Andro than on the TEI snap backs but hard to say really
