Medellin Reports

[Osteoknot]

I take testosterone shots weekly and will be in Medellin and San Andres when shots are needed I am to big of a pussy to do it myself.

Will pharmacist do it or what will my options be.

I am not pointing fingers at any specific user but estimates range somewhere around 80-90% of the medical info on blogs and boards like this (not designed and staffed my medical professionals) is wrong.

Beyond someone telling you to "go here to get this" I would be careful about following any sort of medical advice you read here or anywhere on the Internet when that advice is not being given by a licensed medical professional. Telemedicine options staffed by doctors and nurses are everywhere these days and some online providers specialize in men's health and sexuality. They should be able to provide you with some accurate options. I tried to sit on my hands with this one but in good conscience, couldn't do it. Ostee Out.

Guys,

We are planning to go in the fall.

Will try different venues to see how they work.

Thanks for your info.

Can I ask, what on earth possessed you with the idea to -.

- rent a car on BOG and drive to MDE? Its a nightmare drive and totally masochistic.

- drive a car around MDE? Its a nightmare and totally masochistic.

Yes, you can ask. As always, I have an answer.

The other option was to fly to Medellin, take a bus back to Bogota, stopping at the places I want to see and paying a taxi to take me around. Unfortunately, some of the locations don't have any taxis in the area, so I would be paying for driver services much longer than necessary.

Since my ex-roommate's ex boyfriend used to make the Bogota to Medellin drive every other weekend and then drive around Medellin, often with her grandmother in-tow, I figure it's a nightmare I can handle. Especially since it's under 300 miles and I'm used to driving 600 miles per day.

Hello all,

I will be making my first ever trip to Medellin from July 1 - July 6. I will be staying near Parque Lleras. I have been reading all the valuable information here and also watching videos on YouTube to help me prepare. I plan to visit the clubs in Parque Lleras, casas, La Isla, and also check out Centro. If anyone wants to grab a drink let me know (I don't have access to PM's). I am late 30's, decent shape and speak Spanish.

I am going to Medellin in September and would like to know how to get this done there. Thanks.

I used to have to take testosterone shots and I gave them to my self. I would not classify it as being easy if you are afraid of needles to start with, I learned how to give shots in a clinical setting but its not rocket science. There are a few things you need to know.

First when your loading the medicine into the syringe barrel you have to keep air bubbles out. At first after you have pulled the liquid into the barrel the hold it to where the needle is pointing straight up pull the plunger back to let a little air into the top, this gives a space to allow in bubbles of air to escape into, and so if there are air bubbles in the main body of liquid in the barrel just keep flicking the side of the barrel until they rise up into the air at the top. Once all the air bubbles are out of the main body of liquid and the only air is at the very top then you slowly push the plunger to allow all that air to escape, pushing the plunger slowly until you see a free flow of liquid escaping the tip of the needle, just enough to be sure the air is gone so you do not waste too much of the medicine.

Next if you use darting action it will not hurt near as much because it pierces quickly. Darting action means flicking your wrist like throwing a dart to insert the needle instead of just pushing the needle. In school we practiced by flicking our wrist while giving shots to an orange. You know you have it down pat when it feels like there is no resistance from the orange peel and the needle goes in smoothly.

After the needle is in and before you push the plunger, you need to make sure that you have not hit a large blood vessel because you do not want the meds to go into that, you want them in the muscle so you aspirate (pull back slightly on the plunger) to be sure no blood flows back into the barrel (see video below). If no blood then slowly push that barrel. Testosterone can be thick liquid and it needs some time to be absorbed into the muscle tissue.

I would add to the information in the video that if you are using testosterone cypionate it is especially thick liquid I used to let the needle stay in about 30 seconds to a minute so the muscle can absorb it. I have had it come right back out the needle hole because the muscle did not absorb in quick enough. One last tip, try not to tense up as the needle is going in because the tighter the muscle the more it hurts.

Tomorrow I get on the plane, get the rental car tomorrow night and get to Envigado Thursday. I'll be in Medellin for only 8 days. 10 girls waiting to see me.

It could always have been worse JJbee. Had your malady afflicted you 24 hrs later, you could have been needing the services of a Colombian ER / Hospital waiting amongst the dozens of covid cases awaiting a hospital bed. This was probably the better way for this to go down, as much as it affected your plans. Hope you manage to pack in the fun and report with your usual linguistic flair. Be well.

...boarding a plane in Atlanta for Bogota, where I planned to rent a car Monday and arrive in Medellin Tuesday, after some sightseeing. Unfortunately, Saturday night those plans fell apart after a nice relaxing ambulance trip. Feel free to speculate on the reason for the ambulance trip.

Sunday afternoon I was supposed to be boarding a plane in Atlanta for Bogota, where I planned to rent a car Monday and arrive in Medellin Tuesday, after some sightseeing. Unfortunately, Saturday night those plans fell apart after a nice relaxing ambulance trip. Feel free to speculate on the reason for the ambulance trip.

I got it. You got your dates mixed up and arrived in Colombia early, and you got mixed up in the riots. One of the policia shot you?

I have had it done a couple times at the pharmacy on La 70 across the street from the Hotel Mediterano. It has a German type name and they are all over. I think it was $1 each time and the Pharmacist did a good job. Don't do it yourself until someone shows you how. Stick with your dose and injections. Don't change anything on vacation.

It wasn't until late Sunday morning when I arrived home, too tired to pack and start driving to Atlanta. After sending out some messages I assumed my trip was cancelled. I didn't feel like spending time in the hospital somewhere in Colombia.

Fortunately, after a lot of sleep, I was feeling much better this morning. Since I had been unable to cancel my outbound flight, or my apartment in Envigado, I decided to make the change and catch my flight tomorrow. It took 8 hours on the phone getting a live person from Delta, but I'm set for tomorrow afternoon.

Meanwhile the apartment was messaging me wanting to know when I would be getting the keys today. I tried changing my arrival to Friday, but they wouldn't accept that and insisted I pay the remainder I owe. Fortunately, I know a girl in Envigado who was thrown out of her house by her mother last night. She has no money and no place to stay except with a friend or her sister. She's currently in the apartment waiting for me to arrive. Hopefully Thursday.

Tomorrow I get on the plane, get the rental car tomorrow night and get to Envigado Thursday. I'll be in Medellin for only 8 days. 10 girls waiting to see me.

Oh Lordy, I remember having that experience once. I picked up a bad scuba diving infection and needed a course of intra-vienos antibiotics instead of tablets. I was overseas at the time.

Once I learned the price of going to a private doctor each day for a week, I quickly learned how to jab myself in the arse just hard enough to administer the remedy. Wasn't fun as I am a bit squeamish w needles but it was quite a interesting experience to overcome my fears.

Giving yourself the shot is really easy to do and easy to learn. If your Dr gives you the shot now, just ask him to supervise you giving yourself a shot before you leave.

I let a bar girl give me a shot in pattaya once. She gave her aunt insulin shots so knew a bit. But she gave shot into skin gold instead of muscle.

Sweet, good to know. I will put them on my hotel list.

I have stayed at haven 2 times it actually is a nice hotel and the guest policy is very good I never had a problem getting girls in as long as it was 1 at a time they do not say anything. Somebody mentioned somewhere about the women staff being available I do not now if they are but there was 1 very hot chick working I will need to ask next time.

There many more profiles in Tinder than SA. Wonder if anyone tried Tinder?

And there are also many more fake profiles and scammers on Tinder. As SS said, between the two SA would be the best bet because they have to go through a lot to set up profiles and shit so there would be less time wasters. Like MB, I would not use it either, but it is the best option of the two.

[Mojo Bandit]

Slapshot,

There many more profiles in Tinder than SA.

Wonder if anyone tried Tinder?

I would say subscribe a couple weeks ahead of your trip, and save as many Whatsapp contacts as you can. I put them in my phone with MDE, SA, and their account name all in the contact info. That way, I can always refer back to their profile to see photos, or figure out who I'm talking to if they don't have a profile photo on WA. Once you arrive, you will hopefully have 5-10 you are interested in, and can get 1-2 to confirm for your first couple days.

Before my first trip to Medellin I used Tinder to search out chicas, there are plenty of pros on there but they tend to be asking more than I pay for in-call chicas other places. I originally signed up for $10 a month thing that allowed me to list myself in any city, that way before I left I could start making contacts before I even left for Colombia. This pay version that allowed me to change my city was something I think they called "Tinder Gold" back then but I think recently I saw something called Tinder Passport and I do not know how that works.

Overall once I go into the Facebook thing Tinder did not look as good an option, the chicas often did not have near as many photos as many of the FB chicas. Stories about chicas on Tinder being most likely to be the ones to poison you with Scopolamine also contributed to me not using it.

I am not going to pay for the high Fees associated with SA myself but I have looked through it at the Medellin chicas and I understand why guys would like it

Good luck.

I asked this question on the Cartagena board before my trip to Cartagena in February and was told I just needed to ask at the pharmacy and they will give me a testosterone shot. I went to three pharmacies and they all looked at me as if I was crazy when I asked for this. I don't know if they thought I was asking for steroids but I specifically said testosterone and I even have a prescription from my doctor that gives me the shot weekly. Has anyone actually ever gotten a testosterone shot in Colombia? I am going to Medellin in September and would like to know how to get this done there. Thanks.
