What is the actual human evidence for BPC-157

I asked my nurse the same question and she said something I have repeated ever since: that the aim is to keep you on treatment, not to get you up the schedule.

Please do not read the comments under news articles about this. I lost a fortnight to that.

What helped was lowering my own expectations of the week rather than trying to hold the week together.

Mine lasted about seven weeks and then lifted over a few days. I cannot tell you why. I can tell you it lifted.

Yes. All of this. I had the same in my third month and I remember thinking there was something specifically wrong with me, which there was not.

I have been in this circle a year and this question comes round every few months. It is not a silly question. It is the question.

The thing that changed it for me was going slower, agreed with my prescriber. I am not suggesting you do that. I am saying the conversation exists.

I am about four months behind you and I have been dreading exactly this, so thank you for writing it down before I got there.

the reply above — yes, and the bit that took me longest to accept was the next part.

Can I gently push back on one thing? Not the substance, just the framing — you have written twice that you should be coping better. Who told you that?

My pharmacist was more use than anyone. Ten minutes at the counter, no appointment, no charge.

No advice, just recognition. That sounds exhausting and I am sorry you are in it.

I keep a two-line diary and it is the only reason I could answer this question about myself. Worth starting even now.

The phrase that unlocked my appointment was asking what specifically she wanted me to watch for. It moved us from reassurance to a plan in about thirty seconds.

the reply above said something I want to sit with for a second.

Two things that helped me, neither of them clever: small amounts more often, and drinking a lot more than felt necessary.

I would take that to a clinician rather than to us, and I would do it this week. Not because it is definitely serious — because it is the sort of thing that is much easier to rule out than to worry about.

Reading the reply above, I recognised more of that than I expected to.

Practical, boring answer: write the three questions down before you go in. I have never once remembered them otherwise.

I did exactly the same and felt terrible about it. You have not done anything wrong.
