Hi,
I am not a body builder, I am just a 61 yr old man who endured 3 back surgeries, including 2 double lumbar fusions, and now trying to get my life back after 2 years of being bedridden. It has been 11 months since my last 360 fusion stomach/back surgery and my endocrinologist told me I have adrenal fatigue, and all my hormones are messed up. Specifically my testosterone is below 200. I might add I am weaning off Vicodin and Methodone and exercising 9 hrs a week.
My back is about 70% fused, and I am down to 15mg of Norco (vicodin) and 15 mg of Methodone. My pharmacist told me to get completely off Vicodin then start weaning myself 2.5mg a week off of Methodone. I started with oxycodone, and 90 mg of both Vicodin and Methodone.
So, she prescribed bioidentical hormone testosterone mixed with a small amount of progesterone and anti-estrogen (anastrozole). She also prescribed 2 iu of HGH, so I bought 12mg of Lilly Humotrope, and mixed it with the 3 cc's(3.15ml) of sterile liquid. My question is using a 30 gage 1cc BD insulin syringe, how do I calculate how many units is 2 iu? There is 100 units in a 1 cc insulin syringe, so I don't want to take the wrong amount. So someone please help me.
I have endured 7 coronary stents, 3 major hand surgeries, and 3 back operations, incl 2 L-4-5, and L-5 S1 fusions in the last 2 yrs. I am concurently in cardiac rehab, pool therapy and physical therapy.
She tells me HGH in combo with bio identical hormones could help me heal faster and make my core trunk much stronger so I can get my life back from all this chronic pain. I need some guidance here.
