I wanted to try different GH releasing compounds. I have been taking MK-677 (10mg and Tesamorelin 2mg daily). Stopped taking these due to the constant fingertip numbness.
Now after 4 weeks, I wanted to try the CJC-1295 with DAC and Ipamorelin combo. Last night I tried taking CJC-1295 DAC (2mg vial) from Swiss Chems. I added 1ml of bacteriostatic water and injected 0.5mL of the reconstituted solution (1mg) sub Q.
A few minutes later I felt a surge of flush and tingling in my hands, foot, soon to rest of body. Shortly after I broke out in hives around my body.. I felt my lips slowly become swollen and my whole body itched. Then my heart rate sky rocketed to 120bpm.
I assumed this was a extreme allergic reaction. Fearing inflammation of my throat or lungs would be next and blocking my airways, I immediately took a antihistamine (citrizine) and a 20mg prednisone to shut down the immune response immediately. After about 30 minutes, things come down. Hives slowly disappeared and heart rate lowered.
Has anyone experienced this before? I have been taking various peptides over years and this is first response. Never have I had a allergic reaction like this. I was hoping to add CJC DAC to my protocol stack. Picture was taken at beginning as hives began to break out.
