Guest guest Posted October 2, 2001 Report Share Posted October 2, 2001 Regarding Message 14 on methylcobalamin, ImmuneSupport.com had the following information in its library: http://www.immunesupport.com/message/neurob12.htm http://www.immunesupport.com/Library/showarticle.cfm?ID=1310 They also sell 1mg and 5mg doses. Good luck. Dennis Re: Methyl donors... TMG, betaineHCl and SAM-e Hiya The issue of homocysteine was of concern to me when I first started SAM-e. Then, I learned that B6, B12 and folic acid were necessary to counteract that and coincidentally also found the SAM-e brand that not only contained them but also was significantly more effective and a lot cheaper than the store brand. Since the B complex is also important to how Magnesium it utilized, I became more religious about taking it several times daily. I will keep you posted on my experiences with the methyl donors.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 I'm glad you asked the nurse how to give self-injections. I want to emphasize that my post was meant as a reporting of my personal experiences and some hints that I picked up along the way. It was -not- meant as a " How-To " manual on self injection for the beginner! Hell, I didn't even mention basic hygiene like washing your hands first (personally, I take a shower just before injecting) or wiping down the rubber septum of the vial with alcohol, things like that. Please leave the actual demonstrations to the professionals! Thank you.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Hi I think most guys who inject do much the same as I do in the top leg muscles. I even use this area for my Vitamin B12 as well. Although there are tablets of testosterone esters these produce slightly;y different results than injections and I think gels. Hope that helps!

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Hey , Injections are a snap, don't be so up tight about it. I have been taking them now for 19 years. They don't hurt that much and if done properly they are easy. Have your nurse show you how to do it for yourself. Do it in the thy, it is called IM 'intermuscular' I used to have my nurse do them and then my daughter in the butt. She said you can do them and showed me the whole routene. Here is a thread to use for starters. My nurse told me to try it first with an orange, it has the same feel going in, no problem. Here is a thread you can use to get the idea of HOW to do it and telling you what you should know. Let us know how you make out. Taking T in the thy or the butt is the best was in my opinion and experience. Better than patches or gels. Never tried the pellets though so can't tell you about them.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Hi - I inject in the top of my thigh, alternating between the left and right leg, once every week. For HRT, there's injections, patches, gels, pellets and pills. The pills are usually discouraged as they are reported to cause liver damage (although I talked to a compounding pharmacist a couple of years ago who argued strongly in favor of the pill, to my surprise. He claimed they fixed the problem with the pills' toxicity, so I don't know...apparently they still make the pills, too, or they did back then so there must have been -some- market for them.) The first time the urologist showed me the syringe and needle used for injecting depo-testosterone cypionate, I swear the needle looked about 2 inches long and something like 16G (which is a big horsin' needle, lol) He said they have to use a large needle because the testosterone is in an oil base and hard to inject otherwise. This was when I went to the Drs office once a month for a 400mg injection in the rump. As it turned out that the needle (and syringe) that I ended up using when I began self-injecting is much smaller than that, maybe one fourth the size. I wasn't all that thrilled about injections when I started out but now they are a matter of routine. The improvement in the quality of life when I can get the level of testosterone in my system back to normal far outweighs the pittance of the inconvenience of an injection. And thats only once a week, better than what some poor type 1 diabetic has to put up with. Probably the only thing I worry about (other than medical insurance, and even then, depo-t is not that expensive) is the fact that depo-t is a class C (controlled) substance and somebody in government may decide to make it harder to get. Its not all easy now to get a script, and when you do, they limit the number refills to 5 (by law.) To be exact, they limit it to 6 months, total. If for some reason, you miss getting a refill in that time period, you've lost that refill. Anyway, I digress. A poke with a needle is not the worst thing I have to worry about in life.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I should add that a book that might be helpful to those of you still with thyroid symptoms despite doctors telling you that you're fine is Dr. Kharrazian's " Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms? " He is a naturopath and explains in great detail the differences between various thyroid test results and also about the inflammation that the thyroid undergoes. He strongly recommends everyone with autoimmune-type (Hashimoto's & /or postpartum) thyroiditis remove gluten ( & possibly dairy) for life. Here is more info: http://www.thyroidbook.com/about-dr-kharrazian.html And for those of you that said you are gluten free but still requiring high & /or escalating doses of thyroid supplement, if you are not already dairy free, you should think about either doing an elimination test (2 weeks off dairy all together, then reintroduce gently and see if there are any symptoms-- can be anything from GI symptoms to a change in energy levels, or any noticeable difference, really) or get tested for it. www.enterolab does stool sampling for dairy sensitivity, which is a different test than a dairy " allergy " blood test (the latter may not pick up the sensitivity). It is estimated that 30% of celiacs have a concurrent cow milk allergy, and that up to 60% have a concurrent one with goat milk, so you would need to eliminate all dairy, including butter. Goat milk sensitivity testing is not available, to my knowledge, clinically, b/c its consumption is not common enough to develop a commercial test for it. This is information I have gathered through reading papers out of Europe where they have conducted specific research to test for this. Hope this is helpful to some of you!
