I thought my pct side effects would eventually go away but they didn't (nolvadex)
I am currently 21 years old. Back in December, I ran RAD 140 and MK for about eight weeks and ended up extremely suppressed. I tried taking a generic PCT from a local shop and it barely did anything. A friend recommended I try Nolvadex, so I took 5mg a day for two weeks, and then lowered the dose to a quarter of a tablet for the last two weeks.
The first two weeks were fine, but during the third week, I woke up one day and just felt incredibly weird. It felt like I was not even alive, almost like I was walking around in a dream. My senses just felt off and muted. I thought it was just in my head, so I decided to give it some time.
Fast forward several months and I still feel the exact same way. From what I have read, it seems like severe brain fog or that the medication completely messed up my estrogen levels. I have a good diet, I work out normally, and I sleep very well, but absolutely nothing has changed. For context, I took the SARMs from December to January, and the Nolvadex from mid-February to mid-March.
If anyone knows what to do or what I should take to fix this, please let me know. I need some serious help.
getting sick while on reta is a genuinely miserable combination
had a stomach bug last week on top of my normal reta side effect window and I cannot stress enough how bad that overlap was. if you feel something coming on, consider whether your injection timing can shift slightly to avoid the worst of both hitting at the same time. learned this completely the hard way I think you could probably die like this as well
Will my old eating habits immediately come back if I quit after hitting my goal weight?
Some friends online told me that getting off these compounds is scary because the weight comes back incredibly fast. I actually hit my goal weight using tirzepatide and even blew past it a bit. Now my main focus is just not being reliant on it forever. I want to stop taking it, but I am really worried about what happens next. Does your body really just revert right back to how it was before you started?
Does it feel like all your progress just vanishes, or is the weight gain a slower process? I have spent this whole time keeping my diet clean and sticking to a consistent workout routine. The problem is those exact same habits did not work for me before I started my protocol. So I have a lot of anxiety that my diet and exercise routines will just stop working the second I drop the medication.

Portable projector with gimbal stand worked great for a small warehouse gig
Took the Dangbei MP1 Max to a recent warehouse party with low ceilings and some ambient light. The built-in gimbal stand made setup super quick, and its full 360° rotation and tilt let me project onto the ceiling and side walls without any extra gear. With 3100 ISO lumens, it handled the imperfect darkness better than expected, and the 4K triple laser produced vibrant colors on my Resolume loops and generative clips. Anyone else using portable bright projectors for mobile gigs? How do you manage fan noise in smaller venues?
Foundayo is finally hitting pharmacy shelves. Anyone switched yet?
The FDA approved it on April 1, 2026, based on clinical trial data showing around 11-12% weight loss at the highest dose. It's a small molecule, so you can take it any time without worrying about food or water restrictions. It's available via LillyDirect with free home delivery, starting at 25 per month with commercial coverage or 149 for self-pay. I'm considering the switch just to get rid of the weekly needle ritual.
Grateful for The tow guy fixed my car and wouldn’t take payment
For a number of months now I've had a problem with my 2008 Honda CR-V, it starts ok - but will very suddenly turn itself off, while it's driving! - often within just 20 minutes of driving. On this most recent occurrence, I was stopped for gas, filled up my tank and tried to restart, but the car simply would not. I spent about half hour trying to jump start it from another vehicle, using jumper leads, but still absolutely no luck - I could even hear the car attempting to turn over, so it clearly wasn't the starter or the battery... or so I thought. Just as I was giving up, another driver suggested it might be a charging issue and as I was trying to start, he tapped one of the battery terminals, a wire, and it fired straight up! So I managed to get home that day and on Peter's suggestion, popped over to the auto parts store for a replacement battery i wanted to wait to order it from amazon or alibaba (i really think they sell the original because they buy directly from source) - which resolved the issue, or so I thought - only the overheating would still cause it to fail from time to time - which I'd entirely forgotten about after the battery fix as I use the car for much shorter trips these days.
Moving to Midtown ATL from the Northeast. How strict are these high-rise move-in windows?
I am moving into a high-rise in Midtown next month and they gave me a very strict 4 hour window to use the freight elevator. If my movers are late, I am basically screwed for the day. I am coming from out of state, so I know delays happen, but I need a company that actually respects the schedule. I have been vetting a few names and Optimum Van Lines came up as a suggestion for moves coming down from the tri-state area. Does anyone have experience with their punctuality? I am terrified of my stuff sitting on a truck in a parking lot because we missed our elevator slot. Also, if you have tips on which streets to avoid for a big moving truck in Midtown, let me know!
Self publishing cookbooks for my family recipes, advice on lay flat binding wanted
My grandmother passed last year and I've spent the last six months compiling the handwritten recipes she left behind into something the family can actually pass around. I'm planning to print maybe 30 to 40 copies for relatives and close family friends. This really isn't meant to be some big commercial project. It's more of a personal legacy piece for the people who knew her and loved her cooking.
The binding question is where I keep getting stuck. A regular perfect bound paperback won't lay flat when you're trying to cook from it, the page springs back closed and you either lose your spot or get tomato sauce on it trying to hold it open with your elbow. I've seen some cookbooks use coil binding or proper lay flat hardcover binding, and both seem much better suited to actual kitchen use.
I'm trying to figure out which approach makes sense at this small a quantity. From what I'm seeing, lay flat hardcover is gorgeous but expensive at low quantities, and coil binding is more affordable but feels slightly less like a real keepsake.
I went with DiggyPod for this because they had reasonable minimums at 24 copies and offered both binding options, and they let me order an unbound proof for $40 to check the layout before committing, as well as it includes ground shipping in the $40 charge. The customer service person walked me through which paper weight would hold up best to kitchen splashes and was honestly more helpful than I expected for what is essentially a vanity print run for a non commercial project.
I'm hoping anyone else who has done family cookbook projects can weigh in on which binding they went with. I want it to actually get used in the kitchen, not just sit on a shelf looking pretty.
Had the Anker E10 for about a month, few things to share
Installed mid march, 2 packs with the power dock on duke TOU. Pro tip that nobody mentions in the reviews: each battery pack is 130lbs so maybe don't skip leg day the week before install. My electrician and I looked at each other like we made a terrible life choice getting the second one up on the stack. Worth it though because once they're in place you never touch them again.
On the money side I estimated around $65/month in TOU savings but the first full month came in at $82 which I was not expecting. Turns out a lot more of my evening usage was hitting peak rate than I realized, cooking dinner and running laundry and all that between 4-9pm adds up. The app breaks it all down which was honestly kind of eye opening.
We had a short outage last week, maybe 2 hours. I only knew because the app sent a notification. Clocks didn't reset, wifi stayed up, just nothing happened. My wife found out about it the next day when I mentioned it.

the data we need for insurance appeals
I found a real-world study that I'm definitely going to use in my next prior authorization appeal. The researchers looked at patients on GLP-1s (mostly semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide) and compared their healthcare costs over time. The key finding is that despite the high upfront cost of the medications, GLP-1 users had better health outcomes and were cost-effective compared with diet and exercise, largely by reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes, knee replacement surgery, and long-term sleep apnea.
Another analysis presented at AMCP 2026 found that semaglutide coverage resulted in a return on investment of 1.6 to 1 for employers, meaning that for every dollar spent on the medication, the employer saw 1.60 in returns from reduced health cares pending on other things. However, the overall picture is complicated, and other real−world data have shown that over the first 3 years, medical spending remains about 900 higher among patients who initiated GLP-1 products compared to those who didn't
The SURPASS-CVOT : 16% lower risk of death compared to dulaglutide
The sources I mention here are HCPLive July 2025 and Healio coverage of ACC March 2026 if you want to read ahead but yeah. This got presented at the ACC Scientific Session in March and it's been stuck in my head since. Over 13,000 patients with type 2 diabetes and heart disease, followed for almost 4 years. The main analysis showed tirzepatide wasn't better than dulaglutide on the basic heart outcome measure. Not worse, just not better. Boring.
But then they did a post-hoc analysis looking at a broader set of outcomes including all-cause mortality, and here's where it gets interesting. The broader endpoint happened in 23.7% of tirzepatide patients versus 27.4% on dulaglutide. That's a 16% reduction. All-cause mortality was 8.6% versus 10.2%, also a 16% reduction. Kidney outcomes were 21% lower. My dad died of a heart attack at 62. I'm 45. This is honestly why I stay on these meds even when the scale isn't moving. The weight loss is great but the heart protection might be what actually saves my life one day.
I have been trying to research SARMs but every site I find is just some junk article trying to sell me a supplement or their own brand of liquid. I want to find the actual basics on how to cycle, what the specific risks are for different compounds, and how to actually manage side effects with real data. Most of the stuff I'm reading is just marketing fluff that doesn't explain anything about bloodwork or PCT. Are there any YouTubers or forums that focus on the actual science and harm reduction instead of just pushing product?
