Agree. Smaller doses of statins maintain close to the effectiveness of the larger dose while often reducing the exposure to negative side effects dramatically. I always made it a point to try 1/2 of the prescribed statin dose before going to the full dose, with excellent results. When it...

I'll stay away from the ice. For so many years I inhaled on the quick negative movement, and inhaled with exertion. Now if I lower the weight to a count of 4, I discovered my breathing got all screwed up, ha! I'm still deciding whether I go one long exhale, or fit an inhale breath in there...

This is old thread . . . I did go on T enanthate (TE) at that time and it was/is much, much better than the gel. Basically it works, where the gel didn't. I inject once every four days (easy to do, just have a calendar handy); I used a 5/8" 27G needle from Sol M for the longest time, injected...

Hey Guided, this is fantastic information, more than I could have hoped for. I'll start with the non-invasive suggestions and then work my way up from there. I lifted weights at various times in my life, never seriously, just Joe Weider garage stuff. But one thing I always seemed to believe is...

I use the Hikma brand. I started about a year ago on the Delatestryl and liked it a lot, no side effects. Then a few months after I started they discontinued Delatestryl, which was disappointing to me. But I replaced with the Hikma brand and I don't notice any difference, seems to be pretty...

Hi, I'm 69 and started lifting some weights when I started T a year ago, but stopped soon after. I thought I had started too fast and given myself a case of tennis elbow. I gave it 7 months of rest; it got a bit better so I started lifting again. I've been lifting about 5 months and have made...

Short term gain vs long term pain. C'mon Systemlord, there are limitations to every statement; for example, can a chronic pain sufferer be allowed to dose until "they feel their best"? If so, you know what happens . . . You need both forms of feedback; you need to listen to what your body...

Exactly. And in layman's terms . . . because many men, especially older men, have compromised "this and that", juicing yourself with excess hormones will/can backfire in ways that you're guaranteed not to like. At my highest 84mg/wk dose, measured in the trough, my TT was 29.5 (8.4-28.8) and...

I'd go back to the endo. I'm 69 and scored high TT and FT (in excess of the normal range) on 84 mg T enanthate. I then had a TIA, which many suggest could be related to excess T from TRT for older men. Realizing that I was playing with fire, I've since reduced my dose, which still leaves me...

I think the A-Fib has gone away since reducing the dose, but as always things are hard to say. After the TIA, I was required to wear a holter heart monitor 24 hours a day for two weeks (what a hassle . . .). During that time, they later told me that I had 2 episodes of A-Fib; one lasted 30...

I'm 69 and started out very conservatively at 70mg/wk. I had OK results, but impatience drove me to boost myself to 84mg/wk (where . . . "yes, I felt better"). After 3 months of that, my TT was 29.5 nmol/L (8.4 to 28.8) and my FT was 744 pmol/L (179-475) - both much too high. Clearly I'm a...

I thought I'd update my story thus far. After trying the 16 units and realizing that the effect was much like what I was getting when I took only 8 units (except for the extended duration), I started to feel my success with the Trimix would not be dose dependent. It did feel very much like a...

You shouldn't immediately make the assumption that whatever ails you is tied to this point where you're getting your T dialed in. You may have something entirely different going on . . . because of that you should get a complete workup with your doctor. Night sweats can be caused by many...

I had a problem with sore joints when I first started TRT; I started in too quickly, and then you get sore. I learned a few things though, aside from taking your time getting into it and then a long, slow warm up. I discovered that the solution to my shoulder problems and all the popping and...

Update, tried 13 units a couple of days ago; same 8.5 max erection as when I tried 11 previously. Went away in 3 hours. But disturbingly, I note that unless the physical stimulation is constant, it starts to lose pressure and soften to a 7.5 or 7. I had the same problem with Viagra. Could...

Tried 11 units today; it was pretty good with a 8.5/10 erection, I think I'm finally getting close to my ideal dose. It also stuck around for about 3 hours afterwards in the form of a softer but not yet bendable erection. Next time I'll try 13 units; it could be that I settle eventually around...

Hey Mooseman, your post above and from last Thursday have been on my mind since I read them; it's early still, but thus far I'm thinking that's what will happen to me. It's been about the same as my failing Viagra, and you hit the nail on the head when you described losing erections between...

OK, fourth time, went back to the 5/16" 30g needle with 8 units; injected pretty well. Disappointingly, the erection was only marginally better than the first time when I took only 3.5 units. It was maybe a max 7.5/10; without massage it quickly goes back to a 6.5. So I know one thing for...

Ok, tried Trimix for the third time, this time with 8 units. The first two times were with the shorter 5/16" 30g needle, and they only worked when I pushed the needle in extra hard, so I thought I'd try a longer 1/2" 29g needle. The 29g is OK, no extra pain, but . . . it didn't work. I put the...

Even though I'm very early in the Trimix game, I'm kind of fearful that it'll give me an "adequate" erection, but also won't knock my socks off. I probably feel like that because I've read about those lucky users who've had super rigid erections, and frankly I'd like to surprise my wife with...

Really I'm hating all this talk about broken needles, especially in my dick. You would think that if it did break you could retrieve it with some tweezers (I'll now keep tweezers on hand when I inject), but you'd have to have the presence of mind to keep it together . . . and if it migrates...

Hey Mooseman, thanks for the commentary. Both my first two Trimix's thus far were with the 30g 5/16" needle. I tried bending the needle today on a scrap piece of wood and was shocked how easily it bent. Then I bent back and forth a few times and it snapped off. Really I haven't read of...

Well I did round two with Trimix with a very conservative 5 unit dose; it wasn't much different at all from the 3.5 unit dose that I did a couple of days ago, leaving me with a 7/10 erection that lasted about 40 minutes. That leads me to believe that I'll ultimately need 10-12 units or more to...

Thanks Nelson. I'm surprised you use a 27g needle to inject Trimix: I use a 27g to inject my T, which is much thicker than the Trimix. Isn't the idea to use the smallest gauge possible when injecting the penis? Do you notice a greater pain level with the wider needle? I don't think I'm a...

Oh, c'mon guys . . .

Hey guys, I'm 69 and on TE for a year. Been on Viagra about 10 years, but it's really not cutting it anymore. Just had my first 25/20/1 Trimix experience, thank you Nelson Vergel for your excellent instruction. I've always had a good response to small doses of any medication (T included); I...

Can you survive without T though, if your own production has shut down and you can't access exogenous T? And if you can survive, what kind of "man" would you be? I know that most people reading this would suggest that failing to have an adequate T supply available for purchase is entertaining...

Your reasoning makes sense. I find now that I'm near the 1 year anniversary of starting T, that I'm thinking of many factors. I like the T; it's much improved my body profile. I'm 6'3 and before T weighed 245-250 and now weigh a more muscular 215. I like biking, and it seems that I can ride...

Well that sounds terrible; thankfully I don't have that problem. I've been on TE (and nothing else) about a year and the two physical things I note about my genitalia is that the testicles are marginally smaller and that they are pulled tighter to my body. I'm not crazy about either aspect...

Phil, I don't mean to derail the original topic of this thread, my apologies. However I'm intrigued by your and Vacationman's comments on HCG. Being 69 years old, I don't care about fertility; if that's the case then can you tell me if there's any other benefits to HCG besides preventing the...

Hmmm, I never considered the option of taking HCG; in fact it was never offered to me by my endocrinologist. I've heard that HCG can present it's own set of problems, so I never pursued it . . . but maybe I should? I'm quite happy with my TE and how it's working; maybe introducing HCG would...
