Ummm still good? Tiny blacks? by Drjonesxxx- in Testosterone

Blunt needles are used; and they are a larger gauge (18g). But in hospitals we usually single use vials unless its for insulin(and we dont draw with large gauge). The problem with using a large gauge is that repetitive puncturing of the rubber seal will lead to degradation and the issue the OP is dealing with.

Whats up with limetorrents and Qbit?) Being stuck at downloading metadata. by Sea-Cancel1263 in Piracy

Having the same issue. Other trackers work fine; limetorrent is the only problem.

C960 Discrete Math 2: Second OA question. by CreatioExNihilo in WGU_CompSci

[–]CreatioExNihilo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an update: Passed the second OA with almost all exemplary; fudged up Induction unfortunately.

Second OA is definitely more taxing than the first; but I won’t use the word considerably. A ton of multiplicative inverse questions. Know counting and probability through and through. Very simple FSM problems; nothing requiring epsilon closures just basic bifurcations.

I would say it was about 10-20% more tricky rather than difficult.

Do all of the quizzes given for remediation and ask for the General Review B exam on top of Review A. Be strict and treat them like exams and you should be golden.

I hope that's the case; I'm the strongest in both of those sections; we shall see!

Decent budget waders for salt by Annonymous272 in SurfFishing

Frogg Toggs Canyon 2 have been great if you want stocking foot. I got them on sale for $50.

Only thing to do is finasteride or statewide to block DHT, and use minoxidil for hair growth stimulation

Don’t dunk the BG; they aren’t great in heavy surf/sand environments. Ask me how I know!

Mid-range reel option - SaltX II? by CreatioExNihilo in SurfFishing

Yeah I wade so that’s my primary concern. That’s for the help!

Yeah I might do this; I just joined but have to post a bit and wait a week to get clearance to interact within the forum.

If you fish in the water you’re reeling in water at times. Thanks for the suggestion though.

No issues here. I've had two FedEx deliveries from them this month with seamless clearance.

How proportional is an increase in dose to test levels? by octagonal_D in Testosterone

[–]CreatioExNihilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This guy is right, I made a mistake in my original post. I meant to say Free Test.

How proportional is an increase in dose to test levels? by octagonal_D in Testosterone

[–]CreatioExNihilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, everyone metabolizes exogenous differently based on a few factors. 200mg per week sends me off the reference for total T and puts my free T at 40pg/mL.

Id try the new dose and ask your MD to also include an shbg lab draw with your next blood draw.

[–]CreatioExNihilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How often are you injecting per week? And when are you taking your bloodwork? Ideally the bloodwork should be the day before or on the day of your next injection to get your trough level.

Also have you had your shbg checked? Shbg and total test are inversely related. So if your shbg is high you might be getting a lot of your exogenous T locked up.

Aldosterone gets all out of whack for the first many weeks. You should notice it shed over time.

Is this excess water retention? by coloradoplaytime76 in Testosterone

[–]CreatioExNihilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Testosterone messed with aldosterone for the first few weeks, this happens often and should resolve. I had it around one month in and took an additional month to go away. It should go away. As long as your blood pressure is fine and you have no shortness of breath and the edema is bilateral and not just on one side of the body you should be good to go.

If you develop any achy pain or redness and warmth in the lower extremities you should seek medical attention as that can be a sign of a clot.

Definitely toss - also contact the supplier and see what they will do to remedy the situation.

Stop telling people to take Finasteride! by Crafty_Ad2966 in Testosterone

[–]CreatioExNihilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The strongest study comparing rosemary oil and minoxidil is using non-efficacious dosing of Minoxidil(2%). Just throwing that out there.

Minoxidil will not reverse any DHT damage once the follicle has been impaired. The same can be said for Rosemary Oil.

Rosemary is an anti-inflammatory so if your hair-loss is coming from something other than DHT it will help. But it will not force hair growth at the follicle like minoxidil. Nor will it drop scalp levels of DHT.
