I've been on and off Tirz for over a year, I lost a lot up front but unfortunately, tons of it was muscle due to how it knocked me on my ass with fatigue the two days after the shot.

I also really struggled with constipation (this could be due to the two days of couch ridden after shot as well) no matter how much magnesium, miralax, senna, and even Linzess I was taking. However, Tirz seems to have a way more powerful effect on inflammation than when I switched over to Reta which sides are bad up front (night sweats, HR is brutal) but definitely doesn't have the anti-inflammatory properties that Tirz does. On top of that my 'will' or 'drive' is so blunted on either of these things...perhaps because they both effect sleep as well.

Has anyone gone on and off these and been able to successfully restart their motility? Mine seems stuck in slo-mo despite jamming all these laxatives in my body. Same with the mental stuff, feel like the fog is semi-permanent if you're on too long.

I like both of them and hope I can be on them for a long time and just microdose as I see fit when I hit my goals, but damn does the constipation, fatigue, lack of libido, and emotional blunting make that hard as I'm coming off them in week 2. (I have been off for a month here and there as well)

Anyone else notice these differences or should I just keep being patient?

I played MTG growing up and only started to get back into it post-covid as many of my adult friends did. My company sold and I now have the duty and safety to pursue diversified (aka high upside low down) investments. A few of my friends (they also play and are re-teaching me) have made bank buying strategically in bulk certain decks, and knowing the cards and price tracking seems more interesting than my current job post company sale, daytrading. Which is gambling more than collectible investing is sort of.

I work with them but was looking for a more serious mentor in the space as I was thinking of putting substantial-ish money towards this and storing in storage locker. Sort of a like a buillion or gold. I don't see collectibles going anywhere as long as Gen Z/Alpha increasingly see the only way 'out' through 'gambling' in one way or another.

Plus, will give me another side hustle, and fun to have. I apologize for newberie, and I plan to do this at scale. But any advice would be appreciated on getting started (or staying as far away as possible!) and I literally live next door to a high class card shop.

Other ideas are welcome to. Just been buying rare PSA 9/10 Pokemons at the moment for fun.
