whats up bro. i'm from maryland also. i'm currently taking ttokkyo sust at 500mg a week, split into 2 shots. what i do is mix it with 1cc of eq also, i heard mixing it with something else helps. i then run it uder hot water for acouple of minutes to heat up the oil. after i inject i massage the area and then jump a hot shower and keep massaging it. i'm usally still alittle sore for about 2 days but nothing you can't handle, its like being sore from a hard leg day, a small price to pay if you ask me. i think if you use the reasearch you get some info about baking it....good luck bro
