Whats up, everybody! I haven’t posted for some time, as a result of–and I’m not complaining right here–I haven’t actually had something of curiosity to publish! (Sure, I’m very boring as a rapa consumer, though I’m a really attention-grabbing cat burglar. Simply kidding.)
Nevertheless, I feel it’s time to report in…as of yesterday, I took my eighth dose of rapa on the dosage/dosing schedule I used to be aiming for after I started my rapa journey again in September: 5mg/as soon as per week. I labored my means as much as this dosage, rising the dose by 1mg per week. I skipped one week after I acquired my Covid booster, however in any other case, it’s been a gentle climb to my present 5mg dose, with no reportable unwanted side effects.
Simply so that you don’t have to return and take a look at my authentic publish, I’ll paste in my private description right here:
I’m a wholesome 67-year-old feminine medical psychologist, 5’10″, 140 kilos. I train recurrently, drink alcohol sometimes. I simply had my annual wellness examination, and my blood panel (plus the whole lot else) seems nice. I’m a healthful, knowledgable vegan eater, and together with the same old vitamin dietary supplements, I take NMN and metformin in what can be thought-about “typical” doses for my dimension/age.
So, now, after 8 constant dosages of 5mg, how am I doing? Simply positive. Actually, as I discussed, I don’t have something to report, facet effect-wise–both optimistic or destructive. I’ve been fascinated with so lots of our neighborhood’s posts, which have, once in a while, left me feeling as if I’m not very perceptive in terms of studying my very own physique! I could be a type of individuals who simply goes about her enterprise with out actually noticing small modifications in power ranges, muscle energy, mind fog (or lack thereof), or no matter. All in all, I merely really feel nice.
Right here’s the one factor I can report, and I’m questioning whether or not anybody else has skilled this, or whether or not you may need a proof for it: On the primary few days after I take my dose (which is on Sunday afternoons) I MIGHT discover that I’m a bit colder than typical. (Once more, I’m not completely positive, and I could also be inventing this sense.) It’s like I can’t fairly get heat for a pair days. It’s that feeling the place you wish to bundle up in additional clothes, although everybody round you stories feeling completely heat. Does anybody relate to this?
As I initially talked about, it’s been my intention to stay at 5mg, as soon as per week, in the meanwhile. Subsequent, from studying all of your posts and articles on this very useful website, I’ll most likely take a rapa vacation for a month or so, on the one-year mark, after which resume on the former dosage/dosing schedule. Do I appear to be heading in the right direction? If anybody has every other recommendation, please chime in!
One last item: I’m pondering of D/C-ing my NMN, since I can’t discover any good, verifiable proof of its efficacy as a life-extender. Once more, if anybody has any ideas on this, I’d be pleased about your recommendation.
Thanks a lot, my beloved Rapa Neighborhood, and I’ll stay up for your feedback, options, and–as typical–your much-appreciated help!
