Hi Kian, I haven't been on this site for a few years but saw the nice note (and karma) you sent me in 2006. I just wanted to say thanks! Since I posted a number of things, I have changed my opinion on a few points and also have updated some opinions since I have taken additional course work in...

MrBigorexia Thanks for your kind words. I also agree with your feeling about how I contracted hiv twenty years ago to be a largely irrelevant question at this point in time and for this discussion. People that know me know that I am not ashamed at all in telling how I contracted hiv but I...

I am HIV positive and have lived with it for 20 years. My experience with it in a "nutshell" is: After suffering years of symptoms, I finally progressed to a full blown AIDS diagnosis in 1993 along with a terminal malignant cancer diagnosis (biopsy proven) as well. I refused conventional...

1. What is the danger of shutting down production of insulin by the beta cells of the pancreas if you use insulin? 2. If it does shut down your own insulin production, how long would it take to recover typically after you stopped insulin usage? 3. Is there a maximum duration of cycle for...

Just another point.......Carnitine is sometimes prescribed for poor lipid profiles. The prescription form is called Carnitor. Don't waste your time with over the counter supplements claiming to contain carnitine. Medical testing has demonstrated that few if any over the counter brands contain...

I usually run it with at least 400 mg of test. Usually fina is only run for six to possibly eight weeks per cycle. You may want to begin the cycle with test and when it starts to peter out, add the fina to give a second kick to the cycle. Just a thought. I usually run both together for the...

When you get up and periodically through the day but not after 6PM at the absolute latest unless you want to toss and turn all night long!

I find glute injections painless. With quad injections, however, I have had pain AFTER the shot every single time. The whole area around the injection site turns red for an area about the size of the palm of my hand and stays that way for a couple of days and it hurts like hell to walk. The...

Hi Nelson, I have been HRT a long time. One of my physicians had an idea to take me off of testosterone to see if he could accomplish it with Androgel and/or HCG since I don't seem to produce LH or FSH (this was true before I ever did any AAS and is related to a health condition so my situation...

He may be just one of those people that litteraly faints at the site of blood and needles. I've known people like that. Also I find shots in the Quads to be fairly painful for me and the injection site stays red and irritated for a few days afterwards. That's why I like to inject into the...

By the way, it is best to test your test at the nadir, meaning you should test it two weeks after your shot just before you are due for another so you can find out what it is at the lowest point as this is critical. It will always be very high the day after a shot and the fact that you still...

To date, I have made the most spectacular gains ever from Fina. I rarely make very substantial gains from AAS otherwise but usually keep most of what I do get. As for insulin, the jury is still out as I am doing that now with 3 mg (9 ius) of serostim 2X daily and I am actually on less than the...

Mavy said: Based on this I sent it to a friend of mine that is a graphic designer, has extensive experience in retouching photos and formerly ran the art production shop of a high profile Chicago promotional marketing firm. He is really good at analyzing the details of the grain patterns in...

This is an interesting thread as I also feel that for the most part, a lot of side effects of AAS are over rated by far with the exception of horrible blood lipid profiles and a few other things as well. Here is an excerpt right out of my copy of the 2003 Physicians Desktop Reference (PDR)...

Liposuction my ass!!!...........that guy(?) needs full blown surgery!
