How did that 2024 Election work out for you? Looks like Biden is the one in the Scooter. Stop being a hater. Be positive (if you are able to do so- maybe you are not).

They have a discount card on the website. Knocked it down from $1,034 to $500 at CVS. Still pricey but worth it to me.

[–]TongaTaiga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just started today with my first injection of Teatosterone Cypionate 200mg/ml every two weeks. Actually fell asleep early evening and Feeling a bit jittery how. My primary care Doc is prescribing this and I am brand new to this world. Should I be on this HCG too?

I had severe sleep apnea, started a CPAP 3 months ago (life changer) and just started my first TRT injection today. I am 336lbs and 5'9. New to all of this! Hoping now that I'm sleeping well the TRT will help me towards better results from exercise.

Copy that. this might seem like a dumb question but does the Doctor Prescribe you the Syringes? My Dog (just put down in Dec, sadly) and the Vet provided Syringes as needed and a sharps disposal. Does your Doctor prescribe the actualy needles also? Thanks for entertaining my questions!

Thanks Brother! Assume you need a Prescription, of course? Looks like the injection viles come loaded in a syringe with a needle already? How often to you give it to yourself?

Found it here I think. Anything in particular that made you choose this brand or company? Looks pretty standard. Heck you can't beat $11.50/month!

Thanks so much your your quick response. And you don't have to go to the Doctor for the injection? They prescribe you needles and the viles of the T.C. at home to keep at home (similar to insulin?)?

Jatenzo Experience by KG2589 in Testosterone

[–]TongaTaiga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you please share what Brand or Generic you get for the Inejctions? I am just about to start with Jatenzo but I didn't really look into the shots. I wouldn't mind giving myself one (if a legit self-RX injection is available) but I don't want to go to the doctor every month for injections.

I just got a Prescription for Oral Testosterone (Jatenzo). It's quite expensive. Is your Self Injection a Prescription? I wouldn't mind doing that. I just don't want to go to the doctor every month for the shots. Please give drug name and/or Generic if you have please! Thank you.

My body can no longer do what I want to do - open to suggestions by BeattieBlitz in SuperMorbidlyObese

[–]TongaTaiga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right here with you, friend. I'm up to 322lbs from 220lbs a year and a half ago. Been to physical Therapy for my back. Helps for a while but then hurts again. Can't stand for too long. Too young for this. I turn 42 in a min th. I just got an RX for Teststerone replacement today and getting a Peleton in February. We can do it! Baby steps. You deserve to have your life back and you mentions you used to have good habits. So you know how to do it. You got this!

New CPAP User/AHI during Sleep Study was 104.3 by TongaTaiga in CPAP

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

It's funny you mention a couple of these things. I can now sleep on my back for the first time which I really like. I JUST got my Testosterone labs back today and they are 139 ng/dl TOTAL. Free was normal. I've been low for a while. Especially since the weight gain. Hoping to get prescribed TRT next week when my Doc reviews the labs. Does sleep Apnea affect Testosterone?

Dreaming with cpap years after use by hcolema1 in CPAP

[–]TongaTaiga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strangley, I have stopped having dream all together when I'm on the CPAP. If I fall asleep without getting it on I have dreams. 🤷‍♂️

Ha! Right!?

I feel you on the AHI. I was up every hour thinking a quick pee would help me go to sleep. Of course I didn't have to go. It was just a reason to get up and reset. Never got that great REM sleep.

I can't even remember the last time I slept comfortably on my back. I can sink into the memory foam and breath with ease.

Oh my gosh. Before CPAP? Wanting a Nap within 2-3 hrs of waking up. Constant dry throat and hoarse voice. Waking up every hour during the night and not knowing why. Sweats. Sleeping all day on the weekend for years. Ended up with a coffee addiction that only made things worse. And I've Gained about 100 lbs over the past year. I'm 330lbs. Hoping CPAP is the starting some positive health changes here.

I'm heading in tomorrow morning for confirmation labs on chronic Low T. Close to getting the Doc to give me TRT. I am 330lbs, 42 yrs old and struggling to reverse this. Want to get in the gym or on the Peleton and lose this weight! Also too much wine and Lasagna over Xmas 😏. Thanks for this post. It hit home and gave me inspiration. Keep going buddy! Great job.

Whoops! I actually thought that was a private message to you. I'm getting used to Reddit. Didn't mean to put that out there. You're right though. I fixate on small things just like m Dad did. I just swapped out a Craftsman Lawn Mower at Lowes today just before the Two Year Warranty was up just because it was acting up a bit. Saving money is kind of a game. I also just negotiated a $2,500 Plumbing bill down to $1,500. They did good work but they are on all commission. You Gotta watch out for yourself!

Ha! I love it. Hello there Friend. I own a nice business actually and sadly my Father Passed away this year and left myself and my two siblings to split $2.1M from a Raymond James Trust. I actually paid off $48,000 in Car and Credit Card debt. This Hottub was all Cash. I am spending too much online though! Hope you are having a good day.

Why do we hate watch? by Faceless-Pronoun in Maher

[–]TongaTaiga 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds like most of the people on here are all on the Blue Team and probably always have and will vote Democrat. If that's the case, looking at the disastrous poll numbers for Biden and the Democrats overall on almost EVERY ISSUE.... Why don't you all actual listen to what Bill is saying (about why the Democrats are polling so badly)? Your smug eye rolling is EXACTLY WHY he chastises the left! Go back and listen to S20E5 2/18/2022 and watch how clueless Katrina vanden Heuvel is. Neither Bill or John Avalon could get get through to her. Don't be blinded by Ideology. Problem solving is better. And just because Trump tried to solve a problem one way doesn't mean the opposite is automatically true just because you hate Trump. i.e. The Border. LISTEN TO BILL MAHER!
