Thanks Nelson.

Hey guys, I'm looking for a TRT Doc in the Philadelphia PA region? My doctor had retired and I'm with a new doctor that doesn't know what he's doing. I originally had been seeing Dr. Romeo Mariano years back and he tuned me up quiet well. I stopped seeing him because of cost. I had found a...

Cataceous, thanks for the reply.

I've always injected IM Test C with a 28g 1/2 syringe. I've just seen the Dr. C (RIP) video. Are T subq injections really just as good, if not better than IM?.

I'll try it a little further on up the outer thigh.

Have you ever injected into the calf?

Have you ever tried it in the calf?

I've been shooting testosterone for seven years. In that time I've been shooting in both quads and both deltoids. Lately I have developed an aversion to shooting in the quads. Occasionally when the needle is in the muscle, I get a weird spasm and the needle ejects out of the muscle. It freaks...

No! It's not on the outside of the forearm, the extensor muscle group is not the problem. http://sanfrancisco-acupuncture.com/sports-medicine/lateral-epicondylitis-tennis-elbow/ The pain is in the belly of the Brachioradialis muscle, but deep. There are ligaments deep below that muscle that...

I saw an orthopedic doc. He's thinking the problem is a ligament. I had an MRI yesterday. While 'on' TB500, the pain is diminished somewhat. I was shooting the TB 2mg 2x/wk. The pain comes back in a couple of days. I stopped the TB500 in favor of spot treating the forearm with BPC 157. I...

OK, I ordered some TB 500 from Top Peptides. We'll see how it works out. I've got some scorching tendonitis. The "excelmale" code still works.

Sorry to dig up an old thread. I'm going to try some sermorelin since my Growth Hormon tested so low at 0.8 (0.2-14.8). My IGF-1 also is somewhat low at 106 (94-252). My questions are: >How many doses 500mcg can I expect out of a 2mg vial? I'm trying to figure out how many vials I'll...

Gave blood on 8/21. My labs prior to giving blood were: RBC 6.08 (4.14-5.80) Hemoglobin 19.2 (12.6-17.7) Hematocrit 54.8 (37.5-51.0) Received recent labs: RBC 5.48 Hemoglobin 17.0 Hematocrit 49.8 Just some results that may prove useful to anyone...

So I finally got to give blood the other day. I'm going to get blood tests this week and then book an appointment with a hematologist. Is there anyone here with high hematocrit, experiencing heavy fatigue? Will giving blood on a frequent basis, help with the fatigue? It's like my TRT is not...

Just as a sidenote, I get disgusted just having to apply underarm deodorant on a daily basis.

I don't know for certain, but I would bet, Big Pharma has allocated vast sums of money, stigmatizing any type of injectable T. An may I add, squashing compouding pharmacies as well.

From a new guy, thanks for maintaining such a great site.

My wife would be forever in their debt, if this is in fact true. My wife is very gluten intolerant.

HarryCat, You never tried double red draws to lower your hematocrit?

I just started with a new endocrinologist. I'm not convinced he knows what he's doing. I think seeing a hematologist would be the best at ordering therapeutic blood draws. I was a patient of Romeo Mariano in Monterey CA. Perhaps you know of him. He helped me a lot. Unfortunately, I can no longer...

I have to make an appointment with a hematologist. Will the Red Cross do a therapeutic double red draw if there is a doctors order? If not, will this need to be done at a hospital or is this commonly performed in hematologist offices? I really don't want to go off injectable T.

I don't like the idea of smearing that stuff all over me.

I am currently injecting T cyp. I am kicking around the idea of asking my NEW doctor to switch me to topical T, since my hematocrit, hemoglobin and RBC are so high. I understand the idea of giving blood to lower these levels, but it may not be possible since my platelet count is below range. The...

Yes sir, I think I will refrain from drinking a week before the draw.

That's a good test.

Thanks for the link Nelson. I'll be sure to read it. I'm thinking that I don't hydrate enough, the mornings that I have the blood drawn. I usually have a couple of beers every evening. I probably shouldn't drink the night before the draw.

Nelson, No I have never taken any sort of AAS. My eGFR always tests in the 59-61 (>59) range. My creatinine levels always seem a bit high ranging from 1.31 to as high as 1.42. The last labs were 1.32. I take a low does trazodone as a sleep aid, but other than T cyp, I take no other meds.

Possibly a congested liver, but I would bet it has something to do with cortisol levels.

Re-Ride Thanks for the wisdom. Unfortunately, my health insurance has become very expensive, and my deductible is very high. I couldn't afford out of pocket expenses for most of the types of tests you have mentioned.

Thanks Re-Ride for your feedback. I plan on stopping to give a pint of blood tonight, after work. I wish I were a candidate to give a double red donation, but since my blood type is just 'garden variety', the Redcross doesn't want it. My eGFR is ok, but my creatinine seems to be always high...

I'm very concerned with my platelet number being so low. That is my only concern with giving blood.
