    Wasted Test in Syringe

    I wonder how much waste is actually in the head of the needle of a 3cc syringe? Anyone actually measured it? I think I can use my graduated burette I have to do that and find out.

    Wasted Test in Syringe

    I agree with this, but have no data to back it up. I believe there is also something else in play here and that is what type vials someone is using. If it is the large 10Ml vial, then it makes sense to try and not waste any. But in my case CVS Pharmacy only prescribes the small 1ml vials, so...

    In the hospital. Almost died of low potasium

    The only update I have is I tried to call the Endocrinologist this morning the ER told me to follow up with and they said it would be May 21st lol before first apt. They gave ne a # to another Wellstar endo and I got a appointment for March 13th. In the interim I am going to take potassium...

    In the hospital. Almost died of low potasium

    That's what I figured, since Insurance companies don't cover HCG for TRT use, the mainstream medical docs don't prescribe it. You would think they would tell you about it and at least give you the option to pay out of pocket. It also seems to me from what I read on this forum that HCG in...

    In the hospital. Almost died of low potasium

    No fasting, I drink lots of soda throughout the day. That needs to change, I get it. The food the hospital provided had packs of sugar with it and I used it also.

    In the hospital. Almost died of low potasium

    Very good observation Captain. Yes I have. In fact I had a 40mg shot of Kenolog the same morning this all happened. I have been getting these Cortisone shots every 3-4 months the past 6 years to control the awful exzema I have on both my hands. The dermotologists says its safe to do so after...

    In the hospital. Almost died of low potasium

    What I want to find out from my up coming Urologist TRT doctor visit and from this Endo I will be seeing soon is why I have the perception that the majority of Mainstream Medical doctors don't prescribe HCG and why people like the majority on this forum that use HCG have to go to TRT specialist...

    In the hospital. Almost died of low potasium

    Very good FL, yes the phosphorus was also low and they gave me a IV bag of that also. I had 8 bags of IVs in a 36 hour period, plus potassium tablets and several glasses of OJ with potassium and phosphorus powder in them as well. Its obvious to me I have to make major lifestyle changes with...

    In the hospital. Almost died of low potasium

    No Sir, I was not on a diuretic, no vomiting or anything on your list. I even worked all that day. That was whats so strange about it, not any good excuse for it. The low Cortisol may have something to do with the low potasium, or nothing at all and is just a coincidence. Thats what the Endo is...

    In the hospital. Almost died of low potasium

    I am supposed to call a Endo that they suggested Monday to schedule a follow up on the low Cortisol. As for the TRT, my Urologist is a Wellstar Doctor and my Cardiologist as well. The Hospital I was in is a Wellstar hospital (Kennestone). All of my Wellstar medical info including my TRT...

    In the hospital. Almost died of low potasium

    OK I am home, feel so much better. I just looked at my online labs the hospital posted my blood tests to. I would like to post all of it later and get everyone's opinion on it all. The one thing really stands out from this morning blood tests was the 8AM early morning Cortisol test. What do you...

    Not in the proper age range I would cheat for, that being 19-24. Mostly old and ugly. If I am going to cheat, she must have college cheerleader quality legs as well.

    3 month TRT lab results

    FWIW, the Dr Mclain that posts on this site has put up a video where he doesn't suggest doing that and he mentions he has seen Nelsons video showing that as well. I'm not currently doing HCG so don't have a dog in the hunt, just posting what I heard Dr Mclain talk about.

    5 months on trt with Universal Men's Clinic

    The above responses is why you never ever give anyone your SS#. When they ask for it on forms or otherwise, I simply change a few #s around, give them that, job done. No arging about it needed as they think they have it. No medical provider has any reason whatsoever to have your SS# except to...

    Injection question: Needle size and length

    I have been using 18 Gauge 1.5" needles to draw, then switch the needle to a 25G 1" needle to inject IM deep into deltoids. However I have my wife do it as the Test C is difficult to push thru the 25G needle even if warmed up, so I let my wife do it. I don't even feel the needle go in, I do feel...

    My doctor just called, said to stay on the same dosage schedule, go back in for full labs on 17th January, which is 1 week prior to my next appointment on the 24th of January. So that's where I am at for now. I don't want to inject twice a week. You guys that do that and or even more so inject...

    Yes Sir, here it is. I had my Testosterone tested Friday and was emailed the results directly Sunday. That's a cool system to get it emailed that fast.

    Testosterone Viscosity - Injection Advice

    Its Cotton Seed oil, its what CVS Pharmacy sold me. I have little choice but to use CVS as my employer uses CVS for RX insurance lol. Even warmed I find it difficult to push thru a 3cc syringe using 25g 1 inch needle. CVS needle stock is somewhat limited as well and they hide them all in the...

    Testosterone Viscosity - Injection Advice

    I have the same issue with test cyp. I also tried heating the vial in a cup of hot water but couldn't tell it helped any. I would think the size and length of the needle influences it a lot. I use a 25 gauge needle and have no idea how people are getting it psuhed thru the smaller 27 and 29...
