To date all of the exams I’ve undergone have failed to seek out the underlying trigger. I did a number of weeks of acupuncture as I had seen some proof of this being useful in canine a minimum of:
Slowly the signs began to resolve however I’ve been left with proper eye ptosis which is especially unhealthy when I’m drained or simply after waking up. No thought if this was simply my physique therapeutic by itself or if the acupuncture helped.

Rapamycin
My current well being scare made me refocus and I obtained again into operating (5k 4 occasions every week) however I obtained completely debilitating shin splints and pes anserine bursitis even after gate evaluation with varied trainers. Ache would wake me up within the evening and I’d have excessive problem strolling downstairs. After rewatching Peter Attia speaking with Matt Kaeberline and studying by way of this discussion board I lastly thought I’d given Rapamycin a go.
First I obtained a full blood panel finished and I landed bang in the course of the “regular” vary on each metric.
I bought by way of Niba Healthcare – due to @desertshores for all the information on that! Tremendous simple transaction through Sensible. Nice communication all through. Rapacan arrived inside 7 days of creating cost.
I took 1mg and inside 24-48 hours observed I important enchancment within the ache in my decrease legs and elbow.
I took 3mg 4 days later and the bursitis was utterly gone! I’ve been in a position to run 5k day by day utterly ache free and nil negative effects.
It feels wonderful to have the ability to get again to a health regime with out debilitating ache afterwards. I’m pretty satisfied Rapa is doing one thing aside from masking the ache.
