Condensed version...
Tbone car accident 6 years ago.
Symptoms: brain fog, tension headaches, 20:20 vision but convergence issues, fatigue, light/sound sensitivity, insomnia, chronic tense neck muscles with trigger points
CAT scan after accident showed nothing, MRI with DTI done 6 years after accident showed nothing.
Just found out I'm deficient in growth hormone through STIM test and will start 0.6mg of GH. Testosterone and cortisol were on low side so waiting to see if Dr. wants to do anything for those.
Current stack:
NAC 600 mg 2x day
curcumin 500 mg 2x day
Now Fish oil 3 g
CoQ10 100mg
Magnesium Threonate
Vitamin D3 w K2 5,000 IU
Creatinine 5g
Zinc gluconate 50 mg
Lion's Mane Mushroom 1g
cbd oil
LLLT every other day 90 seconds each area.
Medication I'm on.
Zolpidem 5mg for insomnia
omeprazole 40 mg for eosonophil esophagitis
Meds I used to be on
amitrypatline 25 mg - (managed my headaches year 1-3 after accident. Attempted to restart after headaches came back due to sleep issues with second soon and made me more depressed/foggy)
Ritalin 2.5 mg 2x day - (effective for 1 day in aiding creativity/motivation, but after 2 weeks use, clear that it made fog and headaches worse)
amantadine 200mg - (helped focus/mood for first month but then positive affects wore off)
lexapro - (made depression worse and killed my libido which took 3 months to come back)
Vicodin 5mg hydrocodoine/325mg acetaminophen used to manage headache pain last 2 years. I'm 2 weeks off them.
medical marijuna - helped with pain but raised anxiety/dry mouth
I haven't had a clear thought since the accident. It's hard to describe, but it's constant head discomfort/tension/headache/fog. Because of this and possible whiplash which never healed, my neck is constantly tense. I've done physical therapy, lidocaine injections, facet injections, acupuncture/trigger point massage but nothing works.
Given my widespread issue, does it make sense to add a cycle of either BPC-157 or TB500? Is it ok to do these along with the GH?
I'm also interested in trying semax, P21, modafinil, and cerebrolysin so having difficulty trying to prioritize which compounds to try first.
If hormone and peptide use doesn't give me clarity I desire, then I'm going to try HBOT. Appreciate any input and will be sure to log any therapies. Thanks!
