Warming up the T shots before injecting

[synonymous]

I started this last month (And if you've followed my posts, I always have lumps etc). So I decided to warm the shots under running warm water. The results are ZERO lumps and minimal soreness a few days later or NONE at all. So, if you're having trouble, run your shots under some water.

Does everyone store their T in the refrigerator? It's really hot in Japan right now and I don't dare leave stuff sitting around that can spoil. Even thawing meat I do in the refrigerator in case I'm not home in time to cook it and it goes bad.

No I store cyp in room temperature.

As per my Doctor's intruction, my Test (cyp/enan) is stored at room temp, as well. I have experienced lumps, but only 4 weeks in HRT, I reckoned it was par for the course.

room temp.

Room temp. It should be kept out of light, but my bottle is darkly tinted, so no problems there. I keep it in my closet with all my needles, sharps container, alcohol and application pads, band aids, etc. It looks like a little shrine for a dope fiend. lol

Have you ever had it crash storing it in the fridge?

I stored a bottle in an area that would fall to middle 60's *F and it crashed .... had to boil water and heat the vial to get the test to suspend again. Now I keep mine in my safe with a golden rod heater in it.

Lumps .... do you inject subq?

No subq.

I've kept mine in the fridge. I thought it would be safer? The test has always been fine and my labs are coming back normal so I'm guessing things will stay fine. I'll keep my next batch in room temp if I can find a room that can be kept cool during this freakishly hot summer

how hot are we talkin here? i'd be more comfortable leaving it in 85 degrees than 45 degrees. if it gets too cold it could potentially crash. meaning the testosterone will turn back into crystal form and come out of the solution

Up to about 100 degrees F. 95 to 90 most days. At least in summer.

I store mine at room temp, away from light. I have occasionally warmed it up in hot water before a shot though. It seems to thin it out and make the injection go a little quicker. Maybe just a placebo in my mind but whatever works.

In winter I find my already viscous test a PITA to deal with (Primoteston, pharm stuff, Castor Oil) so I just run the hairdryer on it and it makes things easier.

Hot water works, there are various ways to do it. Hairdryer is just easy for me.

I suppose it's not something Bayer considered seeing as it comes as pre-loaded glass syringes with a fucking 18G harpoon...
