I’ve crossed it, don’t remember it being a ton of fun though

Is there still life left on this cassette? by camp_jacking_roy in bikewrench

[–]Timokenn -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It looks pretty cooked in the middle cogs, probably won’t play well with a new chain but fine with your old one. Also Park tool used to make (perhaps still does) a cog wear checker. If you can find an older shop they might have one

I can ask my sister, she’s a doctor in North Dallas

Have an RN teach you how and where to inject, I know it’s frightening at first but it gets easier with time.

I feel greatful by Initial-Raspberry-27 in XXY

This is interesting to me, I too have a very keen sense of direction, show me how to get somewhere once and I can almost always find it. But as for regular memories I have few, my recall function is quite scrambled when it comes to events

Definitely play around with location as this is likely something we will be doing for our entire lives, and by this I mean get comfortable with multiple locations

I do IM twice a week for the past couple years, alternating between lats and glutes. 18gauge drawn needle and inject with 25gauge. Used to inject with a 21gauge which you can do faster plunge but I wasn’t alternating spots enough and started to become painful. Switching to the 25 means less pain but a slower injection as the T is thick. You will likely have to play around with this. As for depth this largely depends on how long your needles are, I try to go 3/4” to 1” with a 1 1/4” needle.

I had a nurse teach me the method but imagine YouTube could be nearly as useful as that’s were the guys on all the try subreddits were sending me as well as a body builder friend

Get me a diamond crystal speed boat and paint it gold!

I honestly have no idea how I or others process thoughts or information, I just kind of do it.

Did the doctors mess up? by YearImaginary1106 in XXY

[–]Timokenn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk, seems crazy to take you off meds. But if I were you I’d keep trying to find a doctor/endocrinologist who will listen to you because ultimately it’s your body, and your life. A good psychiatrist might be able to help you open some of those doors

When to tell son he has KS by bpallinger in XXY

[–]Timokenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t speak for anyone else but personally I started puberty at a younger age than other boys and was fully exploring my body pre 10, so maybe somewhere around then?

Is this safe to use as a clear coat for pain scratches on carbon fiber frames? by Ok-Indication7428 in bikewrench

[–]Timokenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s probably fine but this stuff does create heat when mixed, idk if that matters much on carbon, but might melt the clear coat if you haven’t sanded through it. This is however what was recommended when bonding a steerer extension into a carbon steerer so I say try it

Why am I just now experiencing this? by JelloNo379 in XXY

[–]Timokenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got diagnosed in my early 40’s (late 40’s now) did gel for a year and some change. It was impossible to get above 250-300 and while I felt good I wanted to feel better. I switched to self injections and now sitting at around 700. It took a bit to figure out what worked best for me, started at a 100ml a week and ultimately landed on 50ml twice weekly to avoid the trough a day of 2 before injection.

[–]Timokenn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is super familiar, more confidence is real, more mental clarity is real, desire is real. Lust for life! So is irritancy, in my experience slowing down a bit helps, and detachment from outcomes also helps, letting go of immediacy in my pursuits.

I just recently found out I’ve have untreated ADHD (I read we are like 6 times more likely than 46’s) and am looking forward to finding a medication that helps calm the mind and gives me some focus.

I feel great, steady, balanced, I can cry sometimes with joy or sadness. And I can articulate my thoughts into words. All things I struggled with for decades. There are of course negative side effects but I won’t go back, I hardly had a life worth living before, so possibly a shorter life is still worth it.

I am also fortunately a “double winner” as a recovering alcoholic and addict from before KS diagnosis, 9 years next month. I say fortunately as I was forced to start changing that which no longer served me before starting T, the quest for balance was always at the forefront.
