Jon,
bobvongule is also right. He's providing real life experiences to demonstrate some of the many things that can go wrong. Let me point out a couple things of why it probably went wrong for his friends.
1) An injectable product comes sealed (air-tight) so nothing foreign (bacteria, etc.) can contaminate the solution. It should go straight from the container it came in, to the suringe, to your muscle. If they split it up, it is very likely they contaminated it.
2) Even if the solution is sterile, if you dont pentrate the muscle (go deep enough with the needle) you will create and abcess.
3) Before you do anything, get a complete physical and blood work done. This will be your baseline and is probably one of if not the most critical steps to begin. If you decide to do so after spending a few months researching.
Little things like this caused a big problem for multiple people and could have been prevented if they researched and educated themselves.
Hi Dennis, you're absolutely correct, but with all due respect, being a jr member, like Jon, I probably can see what he's looking for in regards to an answer. What you said is common sense and if we didn't know that, I'm sure anyone could have told us that.
It couldn't have been said more plain. As a jr member, what I'm looking for is cold hard facts with as much detail and substance as possible. If you tell me something that I have to spend an hour researching just to figure out what it means, I'm all for it, because then I will be learning. Just to say "don't do it cuz it's bad for ya" doesn't give us much to work with.
