Oh boy do I remember making the mistake of using those HUGE 18 gauge pins ONCE! That was all it took to make me search for a more user friendly size pin to go with. You could pin a two ton elephant in the ass with one of those tranquilizer darts! About my levels, the second time they were checked they had shot up from 62 to 1258. Needless to say, the doc was none too pleased with my progress and said I should lower my dose down to 100 mg a week but still keeps writing me a script for the same amount and has been for months now:) To make the good ole doc happy and justified in my treatment, I didn't take any for about 3 weeks prior to my third test when I was told to take 100 mg per week and that allowed my levels to come down to a respectable 620. That was a crappy 3 weeks as far as no PCT and even though my levels were much higher than previously, I didn't feel worth a damn. From then on everything has been just peachy as far as feeling great and being tested because the doc apparently is content with where I am and doesn't feel the need to continue testing me. I sure would like to know if there is a quick way to lower your levels or at least make them look lower prior to testing because I am pretty sure that I will have to be tested again in the not so distant future.
