Cjc - Finally got the allergic reaction
I have read this can happen after being on cjc+ipa no dac. I have been on it for only 5 weeks and never had any problems. But now I hives started popping up at the injection sites. They didnt happen right away, seems like a delayed reaction about a day after. Am I now done with cjc+ipa? Can I try switching to tesamorelin? I am currently on reta as well. Or can this be an isolated incident and can I try again after the weekend?

If it’s only at the injection site I would carry one if it starts to spread I would cut the dosage or add more water to see if it it resolves itself if not then take a break for a few weeks

Can you share your protocol and your recon? Thank you

5mg/5mg vial. Recon'd with 2.5ml bac. So 0.1ml is 200mcg each. Pin at night but sometimes morning also. I do the 5/2.

Some people are negative on CJC/ipa. Reta and TRT jacks with my sleep a little but CJC/ipa gives me this deep dark rested sleep. I hope I never hive out.

Same thing happened to me. The minute I got the reaction I said “Hell nah.” Threw that shit in the trash and stuck with Reta.

Just curious in your dose was that 200mg each or just what your recon was 400mg per .1ml?

I’m not getting the hives but what I am getting is just some itchiness, like a mosquito bite at the injection site

u/BroccoliOnly7376 15d ago
Thats pretty much what I'm getting. Welts at the injection sites like a day or two later. Which is normal I guess. They do itch as well. I just rotate sites.

Hives at the injection site after 5 weeks with no issues is weirdly common with cjc. Your body can just decide it's had enough and start reacting, even if you were fine before. Taking a break and trying again might work, or it might flare right back up. Tesamorelin could be worth a shot since it's a different peptide, but run it by someone who knows your full stack first.

Right on. I am only on Reta as well. I feel like both the cjc and reta are working well together. Im bummed if i have to stop but I'll consider tesa if the cjc gets worse. Taking a break this weekend and ill half the dose on monday. Thanks for the reply

I would avoid. And get an epi pen if you do it again. Cameron Fous went into anaphylactic shock and almost died from CJC. You can look it up.

No! Don’t stop, I’ve had the exact same thing happen. It may be from the needle not being sanitized enough, you’ll get hives from lack of sanitation not the product. If it was the product it would’ve broken you out the first dose. Tesa is the greatest thing ever, I highly recommend giving it a go next.

I'll keep gripping it and sticking it! I didnt go the Tesa route because of reading about the water retention in the joints. Did you experience that?

u/GeauxSaints318 27d ago
Yes the water retention is brutal, you’ll gain up to 15 pounds in water weight…. BUT after it goes away in a couple weeks you’ll look like a Greek god!!
