    Metformin side effects

    I have been on 2000 mg per day (2X 1000) and have never had any of the symptoms you listed. For me, cravings are tied to carb consumption rather than medication. That's why I try not to consume them. It will be interesting to hear what others have to say about the side effects you mentioned.

    Trimix - miss. No impact, 0.2ml as per doctor 5 hours ago. Can I try again?

    According to online diagrams the corpus cavernosa goes all the way to and slightly under the glans of the penis. I never tried to inject anywhere near the tip but if the objective is simply to get the trimix into the cavernosa then you may not need to inject near the base. Personally I select a...

    Just wanted to say congratulations on losing 20 lbs.!

    Trimix - miss. No impact, 0.2ml as per doctor 5 hours ago. Can I try again?

    Seems like things are off track and perhaps an examination of equipment and technique might be in order. Otherwise you could keep increasing the dose to a potentially dangerous level when the needle and the technique are not entirely workable. I can't imagine any good reason to require anything...

    Defy Medical Question

    Wango they will base your new protocol on your labs and their bet judgment. If they think your current protocol is working then they'll stick with it. In my case they kept my basic protocol unchanged but added DHEA based on labs.

    Anyone know when Defy will be open? Out of Meds and need refill

    Defy did not have damage and it is now a month later - they are open as usual. But Hallandale was hit pretty hard. However I know they are shipping. Mostly back to normal they say. I don't think Empower had any interruptions.

    Fasting

    I do an annual fast of 5-10 days and I do intermittent fasting during the year. I always feel energetic and refreshed when I fast. My body tells me when to fast and when to stop.

    Benefits of Daily Cialis?

    It's great to hear your story. I will turn 63 in a couple weeks and I agree with your refusal to accept declining health, muscularity, and sex drive.

    What percentage men on TRT uses an AI?

    Hey Vince I'm curious if you're going to tally these answers up after a while so we can quickly see what the percentages are?

    Switching to Defy: Kudos So far

    Had my first consultation with Melissa today. She caught a few things my previous clinic did not - and they should have. Like high hematocrit for example. It was a pleasure to talk with her and I got a lot of good insights. I think her suggestions will be good for me. My previous clinic was...

    What percentage men on TRT uses an AI?

    I do not. My doctor started me out on an AI but I went through low E2 hell. since that time I have never used an AI and my sensitive E2 runs about 28.

    Testosterone leakage

    I pin in the thigh and have never had any leakage whatsoever. I just stick it in, empty the syringe, and pull it out. I like that location because I can see it and reach it with both hands easily. However with a 27ga needle the injection takes 5 - 10 seconds or so. No big deal.

    Trimix: How Long Can it Stay Off Refrigeration?

    I took a few loaded syringes on an extended vacation with my wife. On the 10th day it still worked normally. Haven't tried to keep it unrefrigerated for longer than that.

    Switching to Defy: Kudos So far

    I am currently with a men's clinic in Atlanta. I'm not going to badmouth them but let's just say I am not confident I am getting proper care and not thrilled with the service level. The fee is $500 per month. Plus another $300 for Trimix. I decided to switch to Defy. On a Friday afternoon I...

    Hi!

    I second this and can confirm from personal experience that it is far less costly in the long run to have proper labs done up front and get treated by a competent practitioner. Without both of those things you could spin your wheels for a long time and still not get the benefits you seek. We...

    Trimix Not Working As It Did

    I have had similar experiences so I always get it a little fuller before injecting. I can always tell if an injection is not going to work - because it doesn't penetrate into the cavity properly. I always do 3:00 or 9:00. I have heard others say 2 and 10 or 1 and 11 but I haven't tried those...

    What happens to the carbs?

    I can only speak for myself but I do not build strength or muscle size very well when eating carbs. The only diet which allows me to build is a ketogenic diet. Believe me I've tried them all. Of course, I am a type 2 diabetic, so I represent only a sub-set of the population. Maybe carbs work...

    Has anyone had erections lasting more than 3 hours with Trimix?

    Thanks for posting your experience. I use 7 units and the erection lasts between 2 and 3 hours. I can't imagine doing 25 units! I'm surprised you weren't started on a lower dosage.

    My first shot of trimix

    I have the same experience with trimix and I'm 62. The formula I use is 40/30/2 and I use 7 units. That results in a full erection in less than 10 minutes and it lasts from 1.5 to 3 hours.

    A couple of questions

    That whole thing with using separate needles to draw and inject is made moot by the use of insulin syringes. The whole reason for that was to make loading quick and easy with a big needle yet avoid plunging a long fat needle into your body when injecting. Just use an insulin syringe. It will...

    Anyone with libido and erection issues on TRT

    For me TRT brought back the ability but not the reliability or the duration. I went from no function at all to functioning sometimes. I had not had morning wood in at least 20 years but with TRT I get it now and then. TRT improved things in the ED department but was not a complete reversal. I...

    Will SubQ Injections Work for Me?

    Right on Vince Carter. I have done either IM or SQ for months at a time as a test and there was no difference in my blood tests or in how I felt. Therefore I choose to do what you said: "load a syringe and stick it in". :)

    Does trimix improve things gradually?

    I haven't noticed any such change. My doctor hinted that some men may regain their natural erections after 4 to 6 months of trimix usage but his experience was with men who had lost function due to prostate surgery.
