First order from Platinum

[Ripgut]

We definitely hijacked this thread about landing his first order with Platinum

It’s allllllllllll gravy. Cuz I’m about to drop another review when the second one comes. And combine both stashes dammit…:crazy_face:8======D

I actually was thinking about this when I said “you just feel good on primo” I think this is a very important thing to take into consideration. Mental health is still part of health.

I fervently concur! Mood is every bit as important as pecs or delts or whatever your favorite body part! I think the principal reason I’m drawn to high test doses is NOT the physical advancement it facilitates (though it certainly does that), but rather, the way those doses make me FEEL. Will be interesting to try a lower dose of test and sub primo for it. I will try that soon.

 

[Ripgut]

The mental thing is a real struggle. I’m thinking it’s more so for the younger men. “Can’t mis a dose OR a workout”… “cuz I don’t want to lose my gains or get small bro”.

The reality is much different…. Missing a dose or a workout is NOT the end of the world.

I respect both aspects of this. More so the second one…

 

[herrubermensch]

Clockwork Orange… not but a few of us know what that is.

I meant to respond to this: One of my all-time favorite Kubrick movies and a great book as well. Vividly illustrates the point that without free will, there is no morality. Also underscores the point that lucky is not the same as ethical.

 

[Ripgut]

Prescription was given…Telmisartan 10mg

 

[BBSQ5]

Don’t think I’ve seen 10mg. I know most start on 20 or 40, but you’ll be fine on 10 for awhile.

 

[johnjuanb1]

I haven’t seen 10mg either.

 

[Ripgut]

Unless she lying cuz I asked… She said yeah… the pharmacist couldn’t give it to me today because they said they don’t have that dosage and to come pick it up tomorrow

 

[Ripgut]

She will be checking my test estrogen and organs… Anything else should she check for.

 

[Poppy]

Mine are 20….been on that for a while.

Full disclosure… my dads mom died from renal failure… my renal function has been pretty bad at times. I think I’m out of the woods for now.

Doc said he’ll up the dose if renal function starts heading south…again.

 

[Poppy]

A full panel would be prudent. Beings you’re on a lot of sauce… the potential for damage is there.

Have you got baseline labs from a year ago or so… prior to ramping up your doses?

 

[Poppy]

Insurance gets squirrelly about certain tests…frequency and type.

Repeat… with the amount of sauce you’re on… go ahead and spend the extra out of pocket if you have to.

Get your PSA checked…. Prostrate….

 

[BBSQ5]

Don’t think they make a 10mg tablet and that you will get a prescription coming for 20mg, but I’ve been known to be wrong once a decade.

 

[Poppy]

I’ve been known to be wrong once a decade.

Another clue… cranky ole bastard

 

[Ripgut]

Okay you guys were right they are twenties… Should I take half a tab because my blood pressure is fine right now? @Neuro

 

[Poppy]

Imo you can take the full tab. I do NOT have BP problems but it has proven beneficial for renal functions.

Viagra and Cialis has a better chance of dropping your BP out than telmisartan.

@Neuro and @BBSQ5 can probably give you a better answer.

 

[Ripgut]

Yeah I was curious if I should start taking it if I don’t have any blood pressure issues

 

[Poppy]

Go ahead…

It’s on @Neuro list… he’s kept me alive and relevant the past few years.

I trust him with my life…literally

 

[Neuro]

Yes take it. Start with a half tab, follow up taking BP half hour-hour after taking. As long as your BP is fine go up. 20 mg is the dose we see the best bang for the buck.

We’re not taking it for BP.
