Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 - Hi Eugene! I always leave the needle only very slightly snugged onto the syringe so after I push in the juice, while leaving the needle in my leg, I unscrew the needle from the syringe and then lift the plunger in the syringe up to so maybe 1/16 of an inch just a slight bit of air shows and then screw it back on the syringe and then inject the rest of what remained in the entire needle. This gets it all. And sometimes I inject just a tiny bit of air after getting all the juice in so that I hear the bubbles, this is also nothing to be concerned about. Yes, it is possible to try to get all the depo out of a bottle towards the end by keeping the tip of the needle even slightly below surface level, but hey the stuff is really cheap and we are talking cents on a dollar at the very end attempting to salvage. There is no reason to start all over with a new needle and juice if you hit a vein, what possible sense does that make, it is your body so wipe the needle off with the cotton alcohol swab and stick it in again. I have been self injecting for 35 years now, and I use the same needle and syring two times minimum and sometimes three. Why not? I am not using an " infected " syringe, just wipe it off and put in back in its plastic holder and put it and the depo bottle into the desk drawer ready to use about 8 days later. Also, I can remember maybe five times in 35 years that I " hit a vein " and that was way back in the days when I would " foolishly " stick the needle in too damn far. All you are trying to do it get the stuff slowly around a half an inch into your flesh and if you grab and handful of upper outsideish flesh and pull it away from the bone and stick the needle in only a half inch, then go ahead and put the juice it. I think people stick the needle it way to far, and thus run a much higher chance of getting it so deep into the flesh it can possibly go into a blood vessel. In fact, I can tell you that not one in 35 years have I bothered to stick it in and then pull back on the plunger to see if any blood backs up in the syringe. I have never done this, I personally consider it unnecessary if the needle is only stuck in a little bit as it is going straight into the outside flesh and there is no big blood vessel that close to the surface. Again, just buy the bottle of T cyp and draw out one half a CC or 100mg from a bottle labeled 200mg and inject it about once a week give or take a so, this is not rocket science, it is not perfect, and you will be just fine.

When you get to the end, put the needle in the vial as always. Turn the vial/syringe over. Withdraw the needle till only the bevel is still inside. You can get all but the very last drop. 20% implies you're going to mess up 4 doses worth. Just plan on getting your refill a little ahead of running out or go back to the doc for a renewed script a little ahead. If you don't get all your doses out of the old vial you can start the new vial. Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I know I'm not going to change a 35year " Juicer's " mind but Testosterone in TRT is not called " The Juice " . Only steroid junkies call their Testosterone " The Juice " , LOL! Secondly, the amount of Test in the needle is so minuscule that I can't believe someone would actually try to push that last bit out with air. The tick marks on the syringe measure the actual injectable amount and takes into account the tiny amount left in the syringe so this doesn't make any sense to me. Additionally, purposefully injecting air is dangerous and should not be done, usually it's not a problem but all it takes in one bad injection to cause an air embolism. And it's not good practice to avoid aspirating your injection. Injecting into a vein, although a rare occurrence, would totally waist your dose, why skip a two second step in IM injections to avoid this, I just don't get it.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Mr. Asaxon, Sir, I feel I need to staighten you out on a few things. First, I am NOT a, as you so cleverly say, a " juicer " . I don't know what a juicer is, it sounds like you do. Oh wait, I think I just got it, yes I see it in your post, a juicer is a steroid junkie, I guess you mean like a body builder. No sir, I am not a body builder. I am, however, both Primary and Secondary Hypo, and have been since birth. Perhaps you have some clever, and no doubt degrading, name you want to make up for me now? Go ahead smart guy, take your best shot. I have been called a lot worse than anything you can come with all my life. Now, still with me? I see you think it is amusing to use the letters " LOL " as in laugh out loud. Snicker snicker, go ahead and laugh at me with your superior attitude if it makes you feel good. You can poke fun, laugh, and mock me all day. I have spent a lifetime dealing with hypo crap you cannot even imagine, and I don't like or appreciate your smart alec talking down and laughing at me. I have my honest answer to honest questions, from the personal experience of 35 years of injecting testosterone. Like my answers or not, they were presented in a courteous, non tanuting, non laughing manner to another forum member. Unlike the way you have had fun cutting me down. Now, if the moderator thinks my defense of myself to your attack is unwarranted, then he can let me know and I will leave this list, and you can fill the air with your wisdom and wit. norton > > I know I'm not going to change a 35year " Juicer's " mind but > Testosterone in TRT is not called " The Juice " .

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Norton, You are then man! I do enjoy all of your posts, but this one just made me smile. Even when my blood tests come back with my testosterone below the middle of the range, my Endo still thinks i am some body builder of sorts... never been in a gym ever.... I am just a big strong guy that use to be a world class athlete. Now my pituitary is being crushed and is no longer working. Well i love the " juice " and the " gear " as i would be dead without it.... > > > > > > - > > > Hi Eugene! > > > I always leave the needle only very slightly snugged onto the > > > syringe so after I push in the juice, while leaving the needle in > > my > > > leg, I unscrew the needle from the syringe and then lift the > > plunger > > > in the syringe up to so maybe 1/16 of an inch just a slight bit > of > > > air shows and then screw it back on the syringe and then inject > > the > > > rest of what remained in the entire needle.

A juicer, or steroid junkie, is someone that inappropriately uses steroids for no medical purpose. There are plenty of body builders that do not " juice. " Perhaps if you stayed away from the steroid boards you wouldn't get your terminology mixed up. Juicing is not TRT!!! > You can poke fun, laugh, and mock me all day.

Your advice about injecting air and not aspirating are inappropriate, wrong and potentially dangerous and if you don't like someone challenging your bad advice then that's just too bad! My suggestions are meant to give people the right information to avoid potential complications from injections. I've only been injecting for a short time and have already hit a vein so if I had taken your advice and not aspirated and injected air I could possibly be dead. I couldn't care less if you like my response or not, what you are saying is dangerous and could kill someone!!! Additionally, if you would use non-steroid junkie terminology people might not mistake you for the same. ASaxon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 After your Doc gets more comfortable with you doing shots, he will probably allow multiple refills over a 5 year period. If you come up short, don't sweat it, get the next refill ~ 1 month prior to running out. Dan eugenekeddy <eugenekeddy@...> wrote: I'm just starting out with self-injections, but it is occuring to me that a man will realistically need to have his T cyp. over-prescribed a little bit.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 There is no need to aspirate before injection of testosterone in oil form, even if you inject all of into a vein there will be no problem at all, the oil moves into the veins anyway, that is how it gets into the blood supply. It will spike your test level a little faster and you may get a slight cough from it, but you will not die from it. As for using air during an injection, it is a well know and approved way to create an air bubble around the drug in the injection site by injecting some air with the drug. No problem there, and it is a good way to be sure that you have given the correct dose by pushing all the drug out of the needle with some air. Another thing is that many people have tried to kill themselves with 10cc of air into a vein or even an artery and stayed alive. Some Doctor tried to kill his wife that way with 300cc of air and still it did not work. > > > First, I am NOT a, as you so cleverly say, a " juicer " .

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Theta, I thank you for your reply to He Who Knows All. Thank you for pointing out how stikingly wrong Asaxon is when he states that I am giving bad advice about the possibility of injecting into a vein, and also how wrong he is about injecting a slight amount of air. Furthermore, as I so clearly stated initially, I am NOT a steriod abuser or am I a body builder, and obviously I do not have any history of steroid abuse, nor any infections or harm from 35 years of self injecting testosterone. I have always called it " juice " as early as 1971 just because it is a thick liquid, like juice. So, the quantom leap in logic that I am a steroid abuser because I used the word juice is absurd. There is a real danger of leaping to conclusions about others without first attempting to understand the individual and terminology used. Additionally, I clearly defined my reasoning for injecting only a half inch into a big gob of thigh flesh in order to protect against hitting a more major blood vessel, as, most, anyone knows is deeper into the flesh. I stand by my experience and opinion without apology, medically or ethically. If I can rightfully be accused of giving wrong medical advice, then so can everyone of this list, because my guess is every one of us is without a medical degree, including my attacker. Never mind the facts, it is always best to first personally find a way to mock, laugh at, and cut down someone who says something one might disagree with. And do it without recognition of wrongdoing and without apology, that way one can continue to feel superior. This is a public internet forum and as such will allow surfacing all types from the vast diversity of the human gene pool. norton > > There is no need to aspirate before injection of testosterone in oil form, even if you inject > all of into a vein there will be no problem at all, the oil moves into the veins anyway, that > is how it gets into the blood supply.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Norton you are a great asset to this group and have helped me a lot. I don't want to get in the middle of this and hope we can drop it. Any one here reading posts knows they still need to follow what there DR. tells them to do. And this is all there is to it. No one should do anything when it comes to meds with out there Dr.'s consent. So no one is right or wrong here.

Thank you for pointing out how stikingly wrong Asaxon is when he states that I am giving bad advice about the possibility of injecting into a vein, and also how wrong he is about injecting a slight amount of air. Furthermore, as I so clearly stated initially, I am NOT a steriod abuser or am I a body builder, and obviously I do not have any history of steroid abuse, nor any infections or harm from 35 years of self injecting testosterone. I have always called it " juice " as early as 1971 just because it is a thick liquid, like juice. So, the quantom leap in logic that I am a steroid abuser because I used the word juice is absurd. There is a real danger of leaping to conclusions about others without first attempting to understand the individual and terminology used. Additionally, I clearly defined my reasoning for injecting only a half inch into a big gob of thigh flesh in order to protect against hitting a more major blood vessel, as, most, anyone knows is deeper into the flesh. I stand by my experience and opinion without apology, medically or ethically. If I can rightfully be accused of giving wrong medical advice, then so can everyone of this list, because my guess is every one of us is without a medical degree, including my attacker. Never mind the facts, it is always best to first personally find a way to mock, laugh at, and cut down someone who says something one might disagree with. And do it without recognition of wrongdoing and without apology, that way one can continue to feel superior. This is a public internet forum and as such will allow surfacing all types from the vast diversity of the human gene pool. norton > > There is no need to aspirate before injection of testosterone in oil form, even if you inject > all of into a vein there will be no problem at all, the oil moves into the veins anyway, that > is how it gets into the blood supply.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 This is sad to say but I think we lost . I got an Email from him thanking me and the the others that have help him in the past. But he sounds like he is not going to post anymore. I remember the first time he came here looking for help and he has come a long way and learned a lot what a shame to lose him over nothing. Can't understand it we all need to let shit roll off our back. There are much more important things to get upset about like the problems we have with Low T it's not about who is right or wrong. Thanks Brad.
