    Storing Trimix

    RickB, I was rooting for you when reading this thread, I'm glad you gave it a try. Can I ask how old you are? I'm 68 and basically in the same boat as you; the viagra works OK (I guess), but the stars still have to align to have a successful outcome. I haven't tried or ordered any...

    This Is What Everyone Gets WRONG About Protein & Building Muscle!

    I get sick and tired of all this protein talk and the suggestion that you ain't sh-t unless you're absorbing "1 gm of protein for every pound of your body weight . . .". I remember watching an interview with Muhammed Ali, arguably the greatest athlete of all time. At the time of the interview...

    Do I Really Need TRT? Numbers Seem OK.

    No way would I screw with TRT if I had those numbers. I take it because it affords me a net benefit, but honestly, the upside better be pretty strong to compensate for shrunken nuts and likely sterility. Keep your body clean and figure something else out.

    Hematocrit on gel vs injections

    Madman is the absolute authority on this. However I have some limited experience since I started with the gel, stayed on it for about 4 months and then switched to enanthate injections. The gel didn't absorb properly with me; the injections did. It may be that HCT may not rise as much on gel...

    Topical T gel to increase penis size

    I noticed a not-so-subtle distinction in locker room talk as I aged. Before, when younger, it was all about penis size. Then, say from the age of 55 on, the focus shifted to "who can get it up, and who can't . . .". Suddenly, the smaller guy realized how lucky he was if he could still get hard...

    Newb here, how do you not gain weight in trt?

    I started Test E 4 months ago; don't worry about the water weight, it won't last long. In my case it was gone in a couple months. Systemlord is correct when he says smaller doses injected more frequently could help. I like to inject in the morning, so rather than inject twice a week in...

    First time Trimix ER visit

    Unfortunately, I suffer from the same bedtime issues as you; I sometimes tend to soften up before the deed is done. Part of the problem I think is that as you're humming along you start thinking/fearing the worst instead of focusing on the act, and then that fear creates a self-fulfilling...

    Bausch Health has discontinued production of Delatestryl® in Canada

    Hi, thanks for the offer, but I can't take advantage of it. I recently picked up the new Hikma enanthate and the prescriptions are tightly controlled.

    Higher Estradiol, T and DHT correlated to higher libido in older hypogonadal men than T alone

    I for one am thankful that Madman is watching all this stuff . . .

    TRT related to Osteoarthritis? Is there life after a Osteoarthritis diagnosis?

    I don't doubt for a second that what you and Gman are suggesting can make good rational sense. But it's soooo exhausting to think and contemplate about, especially for the old dogs that can't (and don't even want to) learn the new tricks. Right now I'm giving myself HUGE kudos for having cut...

    TRT related to Osteoarthritis? Is there life after a Osteoarthritis diagnosis?

    Ahhh Gman, truly one of the nicest fellows on the website, always very polite. I get the impression you're a younger man (relative to my 68 at least)? You remind me of all the Youtube videos where a 25 year old films an active 75 year old bodybuilder, proudly displaying the message that "age is...

    TRT related to Osteoarthritis? Is there life after a Osteoarthritis diagnosis?

    Some interesting discussion topics here (which we don't have to delve into if we don't want to . . .). I don't know how much food costs because I never buy it, or anything really, my wife does it. Once in a while I get the gist that things are very expensive - tonight I was watching TV and I...

    TRT related to Osteoarthritis? Is there life after a Osteoarthritis diagnosis?

    It's enough that you know I'm over here eating 2-3 lbs of beef a day . . . Wow, you must have won the lottery! I'm still getting most of my protein from eggs . . . but I'm just a Canadian retiree where a buck buys nothing

    TRT related to Osteoarthritis? Is there life after a Osteoarthritis diagnosis?

    Wow, I'd never heard of P5P, but I've spent the last hour reading about it, and am going to give it a try! Many thanks for the suggestion . . .

    TRT related to Osteoarthritis? Is there life after a Osteoarthritis diagnosis?

    Yansky, I sympathize with the hand issues; it takes one to know one. Of course it could be a total coincidence that I developed the hand problems around the same time of TRT (at age 68 it's certainly possible), but it's always an uncomfortable thought. I went to see a rheumatologist of some...

    90 mg of Vitamin C causing erectile dysfunction, low libido, 24/7 painful penis sensitivity

    90 mg of Vitamin C causing erectile dysfunction, low libido, 24/7 painful penis sensitivity

    Not sure if you're joking or not. While I'm happy for you (since I'd love such an experience in myself if I could get it), such an effect must be coincidence and/or a predisposition to a placebo effect. I would re-examine the day to see if I had done other things differently; I'm guessing that...

    TRT related to Osteoarthritis? Is there life after a Osteoarthritis diagnosis?

    "I have so much to say but I'm keeping quiet as don't want to get involved as these discussions never go anywhere." Yes, I tend to agree with your statement, although my feelings vary. Very few people will objectively consider the facts and then change their predispositional beliefs. Most of...

    TRT related to Osteoarthritis? Is there life after a Osteoarthritis diagnosis?

    Yes, I agree, it is unwise for somebody like me to go to failure when exercising, obviously I wouldn't do it again. And you're also correct that stretches are vital, and hated (I sure don't like them). I just finished a six week course of Glucosomine/Chondreitin/MSM that I got at Costco...

    TRT related to Osteoarthritis? Is there life after a Osteoarthritis diagnosis?

    I've never had E2 measured, but by coincidence I'm having a blood test tomorrow which will include it. I'll watch for your suggestion and post results when I get them. I'm only taking 60mg/week, but might up it after the test.

    TRT related to Osteoarthritis? Is there life after a Osteoarthritis diagnosis?

    Great suggestions so far, I'm going to try some of them. I've been reading more about the subject, and came across the thread where it was suggested that TRT can lead to stiffer tendons which are more prone to injury. Some members mentioned, somewhat to my shock, that they have suffered from...

    TRT related to Osteoarthritis? Is there life after a Osteoarthritis diagnosis?

    Thanks everyone (thus far) for the responses. I spent some time reading entries on the net and most of them deal with the dangers to joints of having LOW T; not much on whether or how TRT may negatively affect joint health. I've always had to be careful with work and exercise; too much...

    TRT related to Osteoarthritis? Is there life after a Osteoarthritis diagnosis?

    Hello everyone, I'm 68 and have been on TRT about 7 months. I tried TRT with the main aims of fighting fatigue and numerous aches and pains that I've suffered from for a long time. Mostly sore joints, sore back etc. About the time that I started TRT, my hands started hurting, and I have since...

    Bausch Health has discontinued production of Delatestryl® in Canada

    I'm due for my next vial of enanthate in the first week of August. I'll be curious to see if the Hikma enanthate is available. I spoke with my pharmacist last week and he still didn't know anything about a generic enanthate replacement for Delatestryl. In light of the shortage, he said most...

    Lowering Test Cyp Dosage - Can't Sleep And Irritated

    Stpfan, I don't know much about T since I'm newer on the board, but I sure know a lot about Lp(a); I had very high levels too (over 100). I had no family history of heart disease, but I developed severe heart blockage when it finally made itself known at the age of 41. My other blood markers...

    Should I be starting TRT? (I'm in a predicament, this is why)

    I agree with the others above, make big lifestyle changes, lose weight, eat right, work hard, sleep well. You're far too young to start on the Testosterone merry-go-round.

    Trimix "burn" for the Misses

    Good questions, I haven't used Trimix yet, but will probably get there soon enough. Can't you just wash or shower after injection to remove the alcohol remnants?

    What is the % of those using SQ vs IM T shots here?

    Shallow IM, quads, Sol-M 27G x 5/8" (an inexpensive insulin needle with a low dead space that wastes very little product), near perfect. I might hit a nerve once in 20 shots; not that scary, just pull out and repeat.

    Bausch Health has discontinued production of Delatestryl® in Canada

    Thanks for the update Madman. It was good that I twisted my doctor's arm to allow me to get a last bottle of Delatestryl early . . .

    High Testosterone on only 80mg/week

    BruceWayne, you're acting like an idiot. Notice I'm not saying you're an idiot, simply that you're acting like one. Sure, you can have a difference of opinion with one of our most informed members, but insulting them with derogatory remarks is unacceptable and, in fact, an insult to the...

    Do your 5ml vials of T supply you with the correct number of shots?

    Well, after reading up on some of the posts, the suggestion is that we minimize waste by using a LDS fixed needle 27g x 5/8" (or 1/2") on a 1 ml syringe, and that I draw and inject with the same needle. Frankly, I tried to draw a few times with the 25g and it got on my nerves, I can't imagine...
