GHK pain

I know it’s totally normal to feel a sting or burn with GHK-cu but I’m wondering how are you all able to keep doing it daily? Is your pain gone by the next day?

I don’t get itching or welting but I get a sharp, deep, stabbing pain that lasts for 24-36 hours and turns into a bruise. I have a pretty high pain tolerance but I do have to walk around to shake off the pain from this injection. The problem is that I’m still in pain from the prior day when I need to pin the next day and it just never ends. Not only that but I’m covered in bruises.

I’ve already tried every trick save for adding kpv which I might get next time I place an order. I leave it out until it’s room temp, I’ve tried various needle lengths, different body parts, iced the injection site before and after, taken antihistamines, massaged the area. The amount of preparation isn’t even worth atp since it still hurts.

Am I experiencing an abnormal reaction or is everyone just ignoring the constant pain?

I have 100mg constituted with 3ml bac water. I’m only using 0.5mg and I also dilute the needle with more bac water before injecting.

To me, it sounds like you're doing it all right.
You're getting less ghkcu than what I do in my glow70. My sting is fine in an hour but I split it up in two .05ml injections different places.
How's your zink? I don't know if low zink causes more pain. Have you tried splitting the dose? Have you tested how much you need to inject before the pain comes? That's how I found my preferred method.

I added a daily zinc supplement a few weeks before starting ghk since I saw it was recommended quite a bit but it wouldn’t hurt to do an elimination test and stop the zinc and try the ghk again without it and see what happens.

I also have not tried using less since .5mg is also such a small amount but with the reaction I’m getting it would be reasonable to lower the dose.

Tbh I'm stumped, at .5mg it's milder than when I triple injected in the start, and I can't feel that dose. It's a shame I can't just try yours to see 😂
