Pulmonary Oil Micro Embolism Research - Intro

[DiegoMarinDO]

Hello everyone,

My name is Diego Marin D.O. and I am a Pulmonologist and Intensivist.

I am working on a research project with a medical resident based around a patient that I saw that I diagnosed with POME. We found that this appears grossly under-reported in the medical literature and we are writing a case report with review of the literature. As part of this, I thought it would be a great addition to gauge a "real world" incidence of coughing, coughing fits, shortness of breath, or other respiratory symptoms associated with testosterone injections or other anabolics. What better population to ask than those in an active testosteorne supplementation community.

I hope you will all participate and help in our understanding of this entity. Since it seems I cannot post links in my first post, I figured I would start here.

Stay tuned for when I can post links for more information.

Thank you,
Diego Marin D.O.

Welcome, and thank you for your effort to increase our knowledge. In my ten years of frequenting the forums I have seen only a few reports of such symptoms. Perhaps this is due in part to the greater emphasis on taking divided doses. It's becoming less common to see men injecting 200 mg of testosterone cypionate once every two weeks—the "grandfather" protocol. Now we see this divided into smaller doses delivered more often, with some even choosing to inject small amounts daily. Is it reasonable to assume that the odds of POME decrease with the amount of oil delivered per injection?
