I don't know anyone in the area. I have been self-injecting for a

long time now. There's probably no reason you can't learn to do it.

Most of us on injections for the long term seem to self inject or get

a family member to do it.

Hi and Welcome,

Can you tell me how much and how offten you get your shots. Most of the guys

I talk to at 3 boards do there own shots.

http://spotinjections.com/index3.htm

All that is needed is your Dr. wrights a script for 200mgs/ml of T get some

needles with it most use a 25g 3ml x 1 " lg. needle to shot in there leg. I use

a 27g 1ml x 1/2 " lg needle to shot in my leg and do my shots every 3 days to

keep high Estradiol down. Go to www.allthingsmale.com and read TRT: A Recipe

for Success and the HCG Update. I am also doing HCG been doing it for 10 months

now and feel the best I ever felt on TRT in 22 yrs of having low T.

I am new to this group. I am 32 and have been getting T shots for the

caused a thirds degree burn and the testim is just plain messy and

smelly.

The question I have is are there any doctors who will allow a patient

to self inject? I asked my Dr and she was clueless. At this point I

want to resume injections but don't want to deal with constant trips to

get the injections.

Any information you provide is appreciated.

Corky,

Am no expert and it sounds like you may need some professional help to

invesitgate your home and situation. I'm sure that our list experts will be most

helpful to you.

 But in addition to that have you ever heard of " Valley Fever " ? It, I've heard.,

is known to occur in the Phoenix area. I have friends from AZ who have had

trouble there while not in their own home areas in other AZ locations.

My lay-guess, or question would be that isn't " Valley Fever " somehow related to

fungal issues? Doesn't it carry itself in the dust that can be prevalent in

Arizona? No doubt that there are other issues. But as I recall Carl saying often

that in many cases one is dealing with a number of types of forms of

infiltration that can affect a person and their home.

Thank you for your response.

 

I know about valley fever-- coccidioidomycosis (I worked for doctors at the VA

before retiring last year).  This problem began after running the computer for 3

days straight and washing the curtains and window.  I am slowly learning what

not to do but still don't think things through before doing.  Seems every few

months I mess up but the fumes only last 5-7 days usually.  In the future I hope

to remember to do ONE thing at a time.  That way, I will know what caused the

problem.

 

When I was forced from my other mobile home due to the bleach and from the 1st

apt I rented and lived in for 10 months after the MH and motel, I contacted one

or 2 of those specialists in addition to talking to our environmental something

or other engineer at work who was very well familiar with my complaints at work

(VA) every time they removed asbestos, put in drywall, painted, replumbed,

cleaned the linoleum in the halls, and the list goes on.  It is very expensive

to have them come to the home-- $2,000 just to come to the house plus several

thousand $s and up to do the tests, and they still might not be able to find out

the exact problem.  I don't have much savings left-- planning to look for a

rental in Tucson since the air is cleaner there (pollution here really bad for

me since Dec 2007), so I don't want to use the money I need to relocate.  If I

live where there is clean air, when I have a problem in the house, I can live

out on the patio and

my truck if I have to.  I also would try to get a part-time job and save the 

money in case I have to rent a room somewhere when I stink up the house.

 

My 1st apt after the MH-- one of the doctors I worked for sent his plumber out

to my apt-- he said it was sewer gas leaching from small cracks in the

foundation (I was on the 1st floor) when I told him the history of pipes

breaking in the walls, and just 2 mos prior they dug up the living floor 2 doors

down.  There was a broken water line (we had chiller, too), they replaced it. 

The lady in that apt moved there from California  2 mos after I moved there.  I

later found out from the guy that had my apt before me that he and the renters

before him moved out because they were getting ill in that apt.  I had told the

mgr about my tachycardia and heat intolerance-- she did not tell me the chiller

broke down every other month.

 

When she found out I was in a motel those 4 mos she contacted me.  She ttold me

shortly after she moved in she started feeling ill.  While I was in the motel

she went back to CA for a 3-week visit and got well, felt great when she went

back to her apt.  A few days after going back to the apt she started getting ill

again, said she was going to tell the manager that I was right, there was

something in those apts that were not healthy.  She was looking to move, too. 

At that point in time I did not know about the sewer gas-- it even burned the

skin off my lips when I stayed in the apt for more than 15 min, trying to get

some things to take out.

 

While in the motel I rented another apt-- nothing bothered me the 3 times I hung

around for about an hour to make sure it was safe.  The owner told me he had to

replace the 2 toilet seats then would call me to pick up the key.  I had made a

point of letting him know about my sensitivity problem at work and with

housing.  I should have gotten suspicious when he had me meet him in the parking

lot of a strip mall to give me the key, sign the lease and take 2 mos rent money

from me.   I paid $1,700 to be moved from the 1st apt to the 2nd apt, only to

enter and have the same burning symptoms immmediately after entering.

 

I called the owner and asked WHAT IS BOTHERING ME IN HERE?  He said, " Oh, didn't

I tell you I was putting new flooring in the 2 bathrooms? "   He PURPOSELY DID NOT

because he knew I would not rent it if he had.  It cost me $1,000 for that apt

while I was in the motel another 2 mos ($1,1000 a month).  In that year and 1/2

I went through $35,000 of my retirement savings (including buying this old

mobile home).  Legally, all the owner and manager had to do was let me out of my

lease because they withheld info from me.

 

Since you mentioned fungal issues-- I am 90% sure that when I was taking the

sheers down I got that foul taste on my tongue and the burning (eyes, etc.)

started immediately.  I leave most of my windows open about 1/2 inch most of the

time (I have gas here), so maybe fungal spores got into the sheers over the past

2 yrs.

 

One lady on these MCS sites said to try cleaning the window again with dish liq

(I have 7th Generation) and putting a thick towel on the window sill.  I will

wash the window, no towels to spare, so will put some thick plastic (never used)

on the window sill and around the window frame and see if the fumes subside. 

Worth a try.

 

One last thing, I left a msg for an MCSr (man) that lives here (don't know him)

that attends the MCS meetings in Tucson.  He is very knowledgeable on MCS a

Sam,

   

    You are correct about Valley Fever. 

Valley fever is caused by fungi in the soil. The fungi that cause valley fever

can be stirred into the air by anything that disrupts the soil, such as farming,

construction and wind. The fungi can then be breathed into the lungs. Valley

fever is a form of coccidioidomycosis (kok-sid-e-oi-doh-mi-KOH-sis), or cocci

(KOK-si) infection. It can cause fever, chest pain and coughing, among other

signs and symptoms.

More than half of those who inhale the valley fever fungi have few, if any,

problems. But some, especially pregnant women, people with weakened immune

systems, and those of Asian, Hispanic and African descent, may develop a more

serious and sometimes fatal form of coccidioidomycosis infection.

I have a few friends that live in Az who had problems in the Phoenix area but

are fine. Maybe a move is in order eventually. One person, lives in San Pedro

and the other in Casa Grande.

A little over a year ago I drove down to Casa Grande to look at a 55+ senior

complex apt.  Of course, it stunk of something we MCSrs need to stay away from

(drywall, paint, etc.). 

 

I did not like it there, and not much there for me to rent.  I would not rent

one of those little houses down there-- a woman alone is burglar bait just about

anywhere.  The outer wall on most of the houses look like they are made of a

thin wall of stucco.  I rented a house in California with that type walls-- a

man can punch his fist through the wall near a lock and get into the house very

easily.

 

Not much in the way of stores, either.  Tucson would be better for me because I

need to stay near a military base-- get my meds free.  Also, Tucson has an MCS

support group that meets every month-- was looking forward to meeting 'my kind'

as I have not made new friends in years.
