my response that my Biocon must be fake was to the comment that because I wasn’t noticing any difference between GFJ and no GFJ that: “you may not be using real Rapamycin! For me the difference is night and day.”

I really didn’t mean that it was fake as Biocon has been lab tested a number of times and it’s of good quality. It was more a tongue in cheek comment. I guess I shouldn’t have responded… and I didn’t say it doesn’t do anything to me, I said I didn’t FEEL any different between the two (GFJ v.s.No GFJ)

It is possible that you may feel nothing at such a high dose. For instance, @John_Hemming takes a higher dose 22 mg + GFJ and doesn’t experience any side effects. However, 6 mg + GFJ should usually cause some noticeable side effect in most people. So, it may make sense to get a blood test

Just because you didn’t experience any side effects on one dice roll doesn’t mean that you’re going to have the same results when you keep rolling the dice.

There’s also a difference from experiencing a side effect and having a side effect.

In this casino as far as we know so far, the House always wins. :wink:

I also have a chronic pain issue that worsened significantly after an oral operation went wrong, leading to chronic migraines, trigeminal neuralgia, TMJD, fatigue and more. It’s completely debilitating and affects my cognition. I’m not the same enthusiastic, intelligent person I was four years ago.

After undergoing as many tests as possible, I eventually found out I was APOE 4/4, which only increased my anxiety. This is why I’m doing everything I can to try to improve my chances of recovery and avoid dementia or heart disease (chronic pain is also a significant risk factor). Neurological chronic pain is a harsh condition, and the chances of full recovery are slim, or so I’ve been told by my GP. Not a nice place to be but it could be worse.

To get to the point, I think rapamycin has helped my condition. For a few days after my dose, I feel tension easing and a general improvement in my symptoms, but this partial relief only lasts 2-3 days before that dial is turned back up.

It’s also been my experience that the larger the dose, the greater the effect on my pain condition. However, the catch is that I get various strange sensations on anything over 5-6mg of WGFJ, so I oscillate between 4-5 mg with an 8-9-10 day break in between."

I’ve also recently started using red light therapy, which I was very skeptical of, but I can honestly say it really helps when the pain is at its worst in the evening and I have a session. I don’t think it’s a cure, and although it’s an annoying commitment, it does help with the pain, so I’m hoping that continues.

I bought a red light bulb awhile ago in the nano-? range that is recommended but haven’t used it yet. maybe I should get off my duff and get a cord with a bulb socket so I can try it.

I’m not sure which device you have, but I bought a mid-range Nebula panel. It includes a fan system because it can get quite hot and delivers a serious amount of irradiance. The device emits red light at 660 nm and near-infrared wavelengths around 850 nm, both delivered simultaneously, which can generate considerable heat. I was skeptical at first, but instead of returning my first panel, I ended up getting a second one. It’s one of the only treatments where I can notice the effects working in real-time and afterward.

I just bought a single bulb (floodlight bulb shape ) to try it out on my shoulder pain. (rotator cuff) it emits both 660 and 850nm. it’s only 54 watts but it wasn’t that costly and I just wanted it for my shoulder. Now I have to find it…
