I think the A-Fib has gone away since reducing the dose, but as always things are hard to say. After the TIA, I was required to wear a holter heart monitor 24 hours a day for two weeks (what a hassle . . .). During that time, they later told me that I had 2 episodes of A-Fib; one lasted 30...

I'm 69 and started out very conservatively at 70mg/wk. I had OK results, but impatience drove me to boost myself to 84mg/wk (where . . . "yes, I felt better"). After 3 months of that, my TT was 29.5 nmol/L (8.4 to 28.8) and my FT was 744 pmol/L (179-475) - both much too high. Clearly I'm a...

I thought I'd update my story thus far. After trying the 16 units and realizing that the effect was much like what I was getting when I took only 8 units (except for the extended duration), I started to feel my success with the Trimix would not be dose dependent. It did feel very much like a...

You shouldn't immediately make the assumption that whatever ails you is tied to this point where you're getting your T dialed in. You may have something entirely different going on . . . because of that you should get a complete workup with your doctor. Night sweats can be caused by many...

I had a problem with sore joints when I first started TRT; I started in too quickly, and then you get sore. I learned a few things though, aside from taking your time getting into it and then a long, slow warm up. I discovered that the solution to my shoulder problems and all the popping and...

Update, tried 13 units a couple of days ago; same 8.5 max erection as when I tried 11 previously. Went away in 3 hours. But disturbingly, I note that unless the physical stimulation is constant, it starts to lose pressure and soften to a 7.5 or 7. I had the same problem with Viagra. Could...

Tried 11 units today; it was pretty good with a 8.5/10 erection, I think I'm finally getting close to my ideal dose. It also stuck around for about 3 hours afterwards in the form of a softer but not yet bendable erection. Next time I'll try 13 units; it could be that I settle eventually around...

Hey Mooseman, your post above and from last Thursday have been on my mind since I read them; it's early still, but thus far I'm thinking that's what will happen to me. It's been about the same as my failing Viagra, and you hit the nail on the head when you described losing erections between...

OK, fourth time, went back to the 5/16" 30g needle with 8 units; injected pretty well. Disappointingly, the erection was only marginally better than the first time when I took only 3.5 units. It was maybe a max 7.5/10; without massage it quickly goes back to a 6.5. So I know one thing for...

Ok, tried Trimix for the third time, this time with 8 units. The first two times were with the shorter 5/16" 30g needle, and they only worked when I pushed the needle in extra hard, so I thought I'd try a longer 1/2" 29g needle. The 29g is OK, no extra pain, but . . . it didn't work. I put the...

Even though I'm very early in the Trimix game, I'm kind of fearful that it'll give me an "adequate" erection, but also won't knock my socks off. I probably feel like that because I've read about those lucky users who've had super rigid erections, and frankly I'd like to surprise my wife with...

Really I'm hating all this talk about broken needles, especially in my dick. You would think that if it did break you could retrieve it with some tweezers (I'll now keep tweezers on hand when I inject), but you'd have to have the presence of mind to keep it together . . . and if it migrates...

Hey Mooseman, thanks for the commentary. Both my first two Trimix's thus far were with the 30g 5/16" needle. I tried bending the needle today on a scrap piece of wood and was shocked how easily it bent. Then I bent back and forth a few times and it snapped off. Really I haven't read of...

Well I did round two with Trimix with a very conservative 5 unit dose; it wasn't much different at all from the 3.5 unit dose that I did a couple of days ago, leaving me with a 7/10 erection that lasted about 40 minutes. That leads me to believe that I'll ultimately need 10-12 units or more to...

Thanks Nelson. I'm surprised you use a 27g needle to inject Trimix: I use a 27g to inject my T, which is much thicker than the Trimix. Isn't the idea to use the smallest gauge possible when injecting the penis? Do you notice a greater pain level with the wider needle? I don't think I'm a...
