I am a 51 year old trim woman that is going through menopause. I have eased into full bioidentical hormone replacement over the course of the past 5 years and am monitored by my bioidentical doc with bloodwork.....all has gone fairly smoothly and I have been able to keep most of the normal menopausal issues in check- no crazy mood swings, no depression. Although I am not a bodybuilder I do go to the gym 3 times a week for a bit of cardio and weight bearing excercise and I have started ISARMS MK677(for antiaging purposes)- I have been on it for about a month and started the first week at 6.25 mg and have increased each week since to my current 18.75 mg daily- I started so low to try and avoid bloat and hunger side effects- thankfully, it has worked, no sides. When I have tried to increase to the recommended 25 mg I get significant tendon pain in both forearm elbow areas, it doesn't feel like the joints- and it negatively impacts the amount of weight I can curl....I feel weakness and pain....and also both thumb joints have begun to hurt with this higher dose....should I muscle through it assuming it will pass....or is this the signal that 18.75 mg daily is the right dose for me?? I think I have noticed a bit of skin tone improvement and I think I am getting a bit leaner but no unbelievable giant difference at this point-
The second part of this question is the fact that I have noticed a shift in my ambition and tenacity with regard to my personality, this has been ongoing for the past year or so.....Although I still successfully run my small business and get to the gym, I used to be more of a "Get it done" kind of person- up for new things....pretty focused and upbeat....now-a-days I keep more to myself and prefer staying home when I am not working- less social- I don't want to argue or deal with drama and although I do not think I would consider myself "Depressed"....I certainly have lost my MO-JO.....I eat decent...drink plenty of water...get adequate rest....take a vast array of supplements and have a pretty stress free life....I am someone who "Researches" like crazy and think I am pretty aware of most the recommendations for someone going through menopause....since I am so new to SARMS I was wondering if there was anything I could add to my cycle that would positively impact my mood....ambition....overall "Feel Good" feeling to bring me back to the way I used to be.....I am kind of stuck. Thanks!!
