It's wild how these things hit everyone differently. I was on weekly doses for a while, and yeah, the tiredness caught me off guard. But here's the thing - when that happens, it usually means your body's ready to go higher. Before you add anything else, talk to your doctor about bumping up the...

I always stick to my lower abdomen since I had surgery there years ago and it's numb, haha.

Only used non-Hospira bac water, no issues so far. Had a few from Amazon before they shut it all down and some from a US peptide company. Curious about the Hospira thing but pricing and availability make it tough these days.

If you mix it with BAC water (the kind with preservative), it should be good for a month at least, maybe longer. Just be careful, wipe with alcohol, don't reuse needles, blah blah. If it gets cloudy, toss it.

Fridge is the right spot for storage. Keep it dark too, like in a little box or something.

Thanks again, everyone! It really means a lot. It's been a journey!
