I quit doing upper/outer many years ago. Now, I just inject upper/center. I sit in my computer chair, prop my leg up on an end table and go straight in/90 degrees with a 27g x 1 1/4". If this 8 1/2 x 11 pice of paper is accurate, from the middle of my knee cap I typically inject about 10-11"...

John, are your 27g needles permanently affixed to the syringe? I am looking for some 1/2 cc syringes, but so far all I can find are ones with non-detachable needles.

If you're like me, it's definitely the arginine. Citrulline is only way to go for me. Vince Carter or Gene...can either Levitra or Viagra be substituted for Cialis? I have hundreds of Levitra & Viagra that I have not used. Thanks

“You would have to have it tested privately and bring in the labs and make your case. R. Which is what I had to do out of pocket, no insurance.” ** Do you not have any insurance (ACA)/medicare/medicaid? “I've never had an elevated PSA in 15 +/- years of TRT. R. That's...

Thanks, Will I have had it tested 8 times over the last 10 years. Once it was low, once it was high, a couple of times it has been low-normal and the rest are right in the middle. So, the VA isn't going to provide it and there's really no way for me to afford it otherwise.

Separate injections for the esters, but on the same day? Like Monday, 2 separate injections of T/ND, then 2 sep injections of a Thursday? Or were you injecting 4 different days...Mon - T, Tues - ND, Wed, off, Thurs - T, Fri - ND, etc? Thanks

Weasel, I don't recall how I stumbled upon it, but it made all the difference in the AC regaining to 100% ability. I had it injured in jiu-jitsu practice and it was slow to heal. I couldn't even press a 20lb dumbbell. I did the standard recovery protocol and even after a month I was probably...

newguy, There's a lot to go over, so I hope that I get to it all. Yes, I was/am definitely low-T (secondary hypogonadism, but the VA doesn't even know what that means...low-T = low-T). Many times, even on the highest amount of they can Rx (200mg a week), I would still be borderline...

max, are you/were you taking the T and ND in the same syringe? The reason I ask is that I believe that I've read that Nelson advises taking ND once a week (due to the half-life), but I am on an E3D with my T now. Were you taking 100/100 (T:ND) twice a week...or, say, 200mg T then later in the...

Well, I do have several different spinal issues, but I don't know too many former Infantry that don't. Throw a couple decades of lifting and grappling in there and it's difficult to tell what caused what.

I wonder if a fat-adapted diet would curb a lot of these hunger issues?

Newguy, I am a non-SC vet and have been getting my Test from the VA for nearly 15 years. In fact, over the years, I've been Rx-ed T, thyroid, hydrocortisone, Vit-D, sleep meds, chiropractic, acupuncture, physical therapy and a host of other medications/treatments. Your primary CAN do all...

Weasel, have you ever heard of prolotherapy? It fixed my AC joint issues in a short amount of time. It took care of many of my joint/tissue injuries.

Will, it's always something with them. I've had at least 6 primaries since I've been under VA care, not to mention a dozen or so "specialists". I also had to see a couple of outside Drs. I cannot remember if I had the outside Doc initially write my T script of if it came from my first VA...

jonathanb, I've found HCG to be affordable, but actually finding the right doctor to get the Rxs you need and getting "leveled off" can take time and $$. The more you read on this site and others, however, will save you a lot of time and $. Vince Carter is correct in that it may be too late...

The VA regularly monitors my hematocrit, but does not, most likely cannot, monitor my E2. Doctors there cannot unilaterally order tests that the system does to allow. I have to see a private Dr for the more esoteric labs.

Mine was low before I started and has varied a bit (yet still low) over the last decade.

Glad to see something positive about testosterone coming from the VA. I know that every 6 months or so I have to be prepared to defend my current usage/dosage. :(

This is indeed unusual. With a number like that I would expect all sorts of symptoms.

You're injecting HCG at the same time as T?

This ancient protocol is what the VA recommended to me when I was first diagnosed. Between that and the 20g needles they had me using it was bad time.

Be careful as over-exercising could exacerbate your adrenal fatigue. Your adrenals/CNS don't know the difference between stress from exercise, sex, or the bank foreclosing on your house (eustress/distress).

I felt a difference even sooner. I started off taking about 300iu the day before a T injection and nearly everything increased (sex drive, labs, size and volume). I've since reduced to 250iu e3D.

Vince, I've also been using Jarrow Ubiquinol QH absorb for years. My label specifically indicates no soybeans, however.

Are you guys worried at at about the artificial sweeteners they put in a lot of these powders? I have used ON natural flavored for a long time, but now I'm switching to a brand that has only whey isolate and lecithin. It probably tastes like crap, but that's why I put berries in the shake.

L-Citrulline DL-malate (2:1) has worked well for me.

Thank you, Vince.

Yeah, I understand. I wish we could get some stability with supply, pharmacies and laws. My Dr's in-house pharm charges +/- $110. for 10ml x 12,000 of HCG. I don't mind all that much as it's reconstituted and I don't take that much. 10ml will last me around 6 months. I will draw all the HCG...

That's the thing, Vince, this has been the most recommended pharmacy that I've come across. It's also, as far as I know, the most fairly priced (and that is an issue). If this is the "best" compounding pharmacy, what are the others going to be like? My doctor has their own company that they...

I have to say, this has been the most frustrating interaction with any company I have tried to deal with. I have had to call them 10 times and I get a different issue each time I call. I got a hold of an actual pharmacist once and she was very helpful, but every CS rep seems to have a...
