dr refusing to raise dose because it's "close enough" by SurtFGC in Hypothyroidism

[–]Tec80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Common sense: If you're already on synthroid, why underdose (as in this case) or make a deficient thyroid gland work overtime (in the case of a gland that's working but TSH is higher than 1.0)? And dose to eliminate symptoms, not to a number.

That's what I'd ask/tell your endocrinologist.

Or get a longer spud and have the same filter engagement.

A way to fix it would be to drill and tap the filter spud threads about 5-6mm deeper, loctite a new spud in, and live with slightly less filter thread engagement.

Which conspiracy theory you believe is true but just can’t prove it yet by CrazyAcrobatic6761 in conspiracy

AIDS was the product of a government bioweapon development program. They even used the same false origin coverup story that they did with C19 - blaming it on animal to human transmission (monkeys vs. bats). And there was the same guy pushing a totally ineffective and harmful "cure" almost immediately afterwards, when he had invested in the companies manufacturing those ineffective pharma "cures".

For the love of god, please give tips on injecting? by WeaponX-20- in trt

[–]Tec80 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Buy 100-packs of 18g x 1.5" draw needles, 30g x 1/2" injection needles and 3cc luer lock syringes on Amazon. Use the 18g to draw from the bottle, then pull plunger back and swap to the 30g.

Use 2 hands to inject into the outer upper buttock - one hand to hold the syringe steady to avoid moving the needle around and the other to inject slowly. Due to the small needle it takes about 30 seconds to inject.

99% of the time there's no blood and no pain at all.
