Yes definitely keep it in the fridge once it is reconstituted. If it comes already mixed then get it in the fridge right away.

I had one 20 years ago. There have been no negatives and no side effects that I can discern.

I agree with Vince. I was vegetarian for 25 years and vegan for 5 of those years. I also did a long stint of high carbs / very low fat. Those high carbs were mostly complex carbs. Eventually my health declined and I felt old and worn out. Nevertheless I stuck to the high carb / low fat diet...

I bet you felt a thing in 10 minutes or so - eh? :)

The American Heart Association is a failure. Their recommendations have not cured heart disease nor reduced the number of deaths from it. Heart disease remains the number one cause of death in America and the incidence of it is not declining despite tens of thousands of doctors who are pushing...

Yes I agree. I don't hold out a lot of hope that things will change any time soon but it sure would be nice! I have become used to planning ahead to make sure I order meds abroad well in advance but what purpose does it serve to make us go through hoops? Other than channel more money to the drug...

That's good news Vince! I'll follow this thread with interest. I take creatine too and find that it helps a lot. I dislike taking too many meds and supplements but creatine is one that I'll keep because it works and doesn't seem to have any side effects.

Thanks for the information and I'm glad to hear you are on your way to better health!

Thanks for the book recommendation! I am diabetic - or at least I was until I went on the ketogenic diet. I am clearly one of those who benefit from the low carb way of life. But low carb for me does not mean no carbs. I make sure to get plenty of complex carbs from vegetables like broccoli...

I have found that it improved my friendships and my relationship with my wife. better health, increased energy, and a more positive outlook have all been beneficial to those relationships. I find that I am also more open and direct and I waste less time. Those are good qualities if you want to...

Interesting. In this brief summary they say the mean T:E ratio of participants in the study was 8.2:1. However they don't say what levels are associated with higher or lower libido. It's great that someone is looking into the T:E ratio and has made statements which indicate it is predictive of...

Don't sweat it. Once you find out what dosage works for you, you can prefill a syringe and take it with you. All you need is the prefilled syringe and an alcohol pad. These need not take up much room and they don't have to be refrigerated. You want to keep your vial of trimix refrigerated (or...

Thanks very much for doing this interview and for posting it. Great information!

Yeah, what Vince said. That's spot on.

That all sounds like excellent news!

Thank you Nelson for your work to make testing quick and affordable.

Good luck with the weight loss!

Welcome! You'll get lots of good information here. I wish you all the best on your journey.

I'm in the same camp as Vince. That is, in order to maintain my health I must eat low carb. But then I'm a type II diabetic. I do gain muscle mass on a low carb diet. Clearly it is a fallacy that you can't gain muscle without carbs. Perhaps we'd gain muscle more rapidly if we added carbs but...

I second what Vince said. My HbA1C was at 13.5 at one point. A combination of meds brought it down to about 8.5 but I could never quite get below that. A low carb diet brought it down to 5.9 and I am now off insulin and other diabetes meds except for 2000 mg of Metformin per day. Sugars and...

What Vince said. I take 2000 mg per day to combat insulin resistance and for the many other benefits.

That's great news! So glad you are dialed in and that you are feeling great.

Welcome! This forum was invaluable to me when I started TRT and as I have gone through the process of dialing in my protocol. I hope you find the same success with your restart or with TRT. Keep us updated!

I find that interesting because I developed an inguinal hernia prior to going on TRT. I don't know what my estrogen levels were at that time but clearly testosterone was way low.

Same as you... 30 ga 1/2" insulin syringe in the belly fat.

Hang in there. It can sometimes take months and months to 1) get your protocol dialed in and 2) learn what works best for you and 3) start feeling the full results of having a better hormone balance. Along the way diet and exercise will play a part in helping your body to restore itself to a...

Like CoastWatcher said there are so many variables that it's hard to nail down the causes of low or high libido. But I have strong libido on the protocol below: .5ml T Cyp 200 E3.5D 450 units HCG E3.5D 5 mg cialis BID (twice daily) NO A.I. In my case I would also give credit to a good exercise...

I too eat nuts daily but in small quantities. Mostly almonds because I have a jar of them in the kitchen where it is easy to grab a few on the fly.

But once you experience days or weeks of abundant health and energy, absence of aches & pains, great sleep, muscle gain, and other benefits, the carb drug loses a lot of its appeal. Eh Vince?

I use a 27ga 1/2" insulin syringe and I find it takes about 15 seconds to load .5 ml and about the same to inject. That's with T-Cyp at room temperature. I haven't yet tried warming it up, but 30 seconds to draw and inject is no big deal to me.
