red injection sites

[russmeister]

i have been using homebrew propinate and enanthate. and whenever i use the prop the injection area gets red and warm for about two days then it goes away i also get feelings of lethargy and almost flu-like symptoms. my question is does anybody else have similar problems from there propinate or any other gear. would you all guess its from the products being homebrew, should i use a higher grade product or should i just take up basket weaving and forget about the bodybuilding,j/k.
but seriously any help would be appreciated!
thanks

You could try adding more oil to the prop. It could be that the ba percentage is too high, or maybe your body doesn't like the mg content. Diluting with more oil may solve it.

Either way, bodybuilding and basket weaving go hand in hand. Follow both of your passions. Make them co-exist, don't give up one for another.

if i dilute the product

i'm sure i will have to take twice as much. would that negate the effect of diluting it. or will the body be able to handle a larger volume of product with a lower percentage of the solvent in a much happier way?

I've had this problem from time to time and am convinced it is due to a BA reaction. The reason I believe this is when I dilute it down, it doesn't get red, and if the gear was dirty, diluting it wouldn't make much of a difference.

Get some USP grwade oil and cut it by a third to a half. You will have to adjust the volume you shoot to get the same dose, but the symptoms should go away. Also, try a different injection site - that one might be gettin a little sensitive to the constant BA assault.

If you are not on orals, take some Tylenol for the flu symptoms. If you are on orals, take some Advil.

Good luck.

thanks

for the good info. hopefully the cutting of the product will help a bit.

1% BA and 20% BB @ 100mg/ml = a sterile product with very little post injection pain. Going over 100mg/ml results in large prop crystals forming where injected = pain! Most pharm companies (ex. UPJOHN) rarely use more than 3% BA in their multi-dose products. With Prop you need a carrier such as Benzyl Benzoate that allows the hormone to dissipate from the inj site more slowly and prevent the hormone from crystalizing.

This thread will give you a ton of info on this very subject.

Or.....you could....

Not to be rude but use reputable UG source. Im not saying you dont know what your doing but sometimes the homebrew stuff you recieve is very low quality. Maybe try a little euro or good rep UG just a thought. Redness could be a problem of additives in the powders due too poor quality.

yeah

after using this homebrew. it makes me really want to get some good clean decent gear and start from scratch with the pre made stuff.maybe i'll take a couple of weeks off and get some good stuff.
