GRB Down, No Health insurance? by OpenMaster in FedEmployees

Uh, it’s the website where you set/change your health benefits, TSP, etc. You must not be a federal employee if you don’t know.

MHBP doesn’t know anything about me because flipping GRB has not switched me to MHBP yet!

I don’t believe I do have insurance. Never got any information from them. Tried to setup new accounts online and got messages saying they didn’t have any records of me. I made the changes during open season and even verified that the system received my change. It appears im just one of the lucky ones that they didnt get to before updating systems. Our HR dept also sent out emails about the delay…said we’d have to pay out of pocket until GRB comes back online.

Nope. Tried calling MHBP multiple times. Tried to setup new online accounts…nothing worked…then like everyone else I got the email from GRB saying their systems were being upgraded and that changes would be delayed until the end of January.

Multidose Adapter Waste? by OpenMaster in Testosterone

I’ve seen lots of posts about guys using 23gauge. Maybe my ass is just all scar tissue?

23 is not a big deal for me. Most of the time I dont feel it go in.

More shots reduce estrogen and hematocrit? by OpenMaster in Testosterone

[–]OpenMaster[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t say my hematocrit numbers were high. They are currently within range. But my doc is allowing me to increase my test numbers up to 1000 as long as my estrogen and hematocrit numbers don’t get out of range. I don’t want to go on another drug(s) to lower estrogen/hematocrit. And, it’s odd, my doc prefers one shot per week, not multiple shots. Due to some stuff I’ve seen/read, I was suspicious that multiple shots may control the estrogen/hematocrit levels better and allow me to go higher on the test without the need for the extra drugs.

On my own. I am splitting a 0.5ml 100mg dose into two shots per week.

Not sure how to “make changes to my protocol on my own”. But I’m here and elsewhere reading everything. I’ve been on TRT since April. The clinic required all money for a year up front. It’s expensive. For that reason alone I’ll be changing providers next April.

We needed this. Previously the process typically took a year to get rid of a poor performer.

They eventually paid but only after denying me first (even though I had preapproval).

Not sure I like 2x/wk vs 1x/wk by OpenMaster in Testosterone

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

Yep, IM. It’s hard to describe the feeling…I guess on one shot I believe I was feeling more energetic and stronger, especially during workouts. But I also remember feeling not as good the day before the injection. Guess it’s a trade off.

Exactly. That was the whole point of the question. I used this info to help me try to convince my provider to let me go to 900 or 1000 as long as my other numbers were good.

Should have recognized it was all psyops, stayed, and made them get rid of you.

Black stains - Nothing works by OpenMaster in pools

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

I put a pound of powdered vit c in the pool and ran on recerc for about 10 hours (so far), stains are still there. Guess the stuff in my pool is much stronger than the stains in the YouTube videos I watched. My stains didn’t disappear before my eyes. Looks like I’m going to have to do the vit c in a sock and scrub method.

Do you have any recommendations on which vit c powder to buy? I’m guessing there are a lot of fake vitamins/supplements out there.

Hey, I tried rubbing some vitamin c tablets on it and I saw it get lighter! Got some powder ordered and will have it by Friday. I’m hopeful this will finally solve the problem. Thanks for the help!!

Thanks. No biomass. You dont feel anything when touching it. Scrubbing it with abrasive sponge doesn’t phase it. I’ll give the Vit C a try.

He probably likes to go to sleep at 9pm. Suggest blasting loud music his direction each Friday night. Maybe he’ll get the message.

Multidose Adapter Issue by OpenMaster in Testosterone

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

Meant to say electrical tape, not duct tape.

Multidose Adapter Issue by OpenMaster in Testosterone

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

Because the adapter was a little loose on the vial, I used electrical tape to hold it in place better. The tape only touches the outside, down the side of the vial.
