Pacman - The suggestion made earlier was to break up the one week's dosage into half and inject every 3.5 days. That is what I do, and I think, is the current paradigm for injections. I also started with Androgel and stuck it out for a year but never got my levels up high enough. I had...

And how long before the FDA goes after the clinics?

Sure. Please don't construe my question as any kind of critique. But I read on all these supplements constantly to get better informed on the bigger picture, and for example, Doxazosin is identified as being used specifically to treat BPH. I am one of those very sensitive to medications so...

Let me understand this. Is this stack recommended "in general" for improvement of vascularity - or for those who have identified issues such as high BP or BPH?

I've been reading this whole thread. It's a bit overwhelming and intimidating on first exposure to this stack. So let's say I'm doing "OK" in general, but I do fight some slight BP problems - so I feel I have a potential blood flow problem I'd like to address now rather than later (I'm in...

I wonder how many guys stress themselves over about whether they are getting sufficient morning wood, or, whether they are encountering some form of ED? I know I tend to think it about it a little too much and not just relax as I should, because in all honesty - I am doing OK. It has...

Can you recommend a brand/type of Citrulline and daily dosage?

And for the record, I got a 43 or so on the standard test.

How less accurate exactly? Two months ago I had a 19 on the 140244 test.

Love handles? That is an acceptable location for injection? I have a lot of chest hair and not a lot of fat on belly so I'm reluctant to try there - but this is the first time I've seen someone mention the love handles. I can pinch and grab a little more than the belly for sure.

Tommy - I had high BP in the past - that resulted in some issues with my right eye. I was placed on lisinopril and like Nelson was saying about how he hated BP meds - I found myself hating it also - feeling more tired, and not having any libido and so on. So anything to avoid taking that...

Thanks CoastWatcher - that is the plan. I just ordered a new arm monitor and will resume monitoring.

a) Big biceps? Not at all - I'm very lean all over. Slightly muscular but lean. b) I did my bi-weekly shot about an hour before the appt. No coffee or other meds. Rushing, no. Talking, quite a bit before but not during. Actually now I recall - the first time she did the monitor on...

56 years old, and a possible family history - my mom does not have high BP, but my Dad does, but his father/grandfather did not have it. Also - it appears my Dad's BP started going up after he retired and assumed a more sedentary life-style with a worse diet but who know...

A few years ago I was on blood pressure meds. After my health worsen - and I lost a bit of weight - my BP actually dropped below 120/80 for a while. After being on androgel for over year and generally being ineffective, I switched to shots earlier this year and the difference has been night...

I routinely use the New Posts feature. However, I do not have time to review all the new posts made and would like to go back and review them later. The problem with this feature is that the forum software marks all threads with new posts as 'not new' after you click on the feature...

Why would CoQ10 in the form of ubiquinol help with gingivitis? As someone who has fought mild gingivitis in my top left gum for years, I'm thinking of giving this a try.

I've changed my routine. I now do 3 to 4 workouts a day but moderate intensity and never longer than 10-12 minutes. For example - 12 minutes on a treadmill at 5% incline - 1 minute 3.0 mph, 2 minutes 3.5 mph, 1 minute 3.0 mph, 1 minute 4 mph and so on. Would 3 to 4 a day still be...

Interesting site Vince. The founder was a director at the Mayo Clinic. It seems they work with the patients on diet plans, exercise, and stress reduction to improve the lipid panels for those at risk. I noted in my last Labcorp labs that they are now doing LDL-P. My LDL-P was 542 - I...

I read this book last year and while it has some valid points - I don't trust these authors and definitely not their conclusions - it seems to me - like so many of these 'sensationalism' medical books by folks with dubious credentials that they rely on cherry-picking data, arguments from appeal...

Having seen this thread - I wonder. I am also very lean, but since I shifted to shots from gels - I've gained over 5 pounds in 3 months, where with the gels, I gained about 5 in a year and had stagnated towards the last 3 months. My diet has not changed a whole lot - I eat very clean and...

Do you have a link for where this can be purchased?

OK - a little more research. I did not realize it but I was taught the subq method - to inject twice a week. Hence the smaller needle I suppose.

I inject into my glutes not my forearms, is an 27 gauge 1/2 inch needle going to do the trick?

Thanks Nelson - order for the new syringes just placed. I should have paid closer attention when I read this article and the watched the video.

Yes - you are correct Nelson; brain-fart on my part. Still the fact remains - we struggle with the slip tip. I'm sure however, if I had tree trunks for arms as you do - it would not be an issue; but as it is, I think we are taking a simple thing and making it harder than it is. Very tired...

We are having a devil of a time to get that slip tip off - with the result we something prick our fingers as we start to strain to remove it then have to throw that syringe away. Specifically - the BD PrecisionGlide 25x x 5/8 to draw the cypionate. I then switch to the BD 18g1 for the...

Wow Vince. I'm sending this to my dietician.

Thanks Nelson. My dietician has no idea why my LDL is so low. I had some GI issues just prior to when my T crashed and as no one could find any problems via tests - she suggested a gluten-free and mainly dairy-free diet. She was adamant on eating clean and healthy and a lot of healthy...

At about the time I started TRT about 18 months ago - I changed my diet - eating primarily vegetarian with some fish a few times a week. Since then, my total cholesterol has dropped to just 115 (from about 160), my LDL has dropped to 48 (from about the 80's), and my HDL has increased from the...

I'm on cypionate now - I take 100mg a week / broken into 2 injections. Since it's so long-acting, is it still recommended to break it into 2 injections a week rather than just one?
