Not true, how long you took it seems to have zero importance

He has age and a limited amount of usage on his side

I'm confident he will be just fine

Maybe yes maybe no, the fact remains that may men took one pill and ended up with same exact symptoms of the most severe user. Read and analyze all the case reports and you will understand

guys, my testicle pains are gone , sometimes i felt slightly stomach pain thats all...
BUTTT,
ı lost 3 kılograms, my hand and foot muscles are become thin. My muscles are twıtchıng, aching. Am ı crashed? All of these bad sıgn or am ı healing?

hi guys,
i think i'm starting to beat brain fog. Day by day its gone ı thınk. Lets see how
i dont drınk any of water, i drink lemonade soda when ım thırsty.
I took a drug whıch called ''tranko buscas''
one day i sleep next day dont sleep, one day sleep next day dont sleep again. It ıs my schedule.
I'm not claim it is a cure. But give a chance.

my symptomps were stomach pain, testıcular pain, low lıbıdo, dark veins and wrinkles at penis, musle atrophıes twitches weakness, fat losss under the rıght eye, anxiety and tremors, heavy ınsomnıa, and average brain frog, dry skın and dry mouth untıl 8 days ago.
Then ı crashed. All symptoms were worse than even before. my parents went me a hospıtal. I dont remember these moments rıght now.

But ın thıs 8 days, mıraculously my brain fog has gone, my ınsomnıa gone, my tremors gone, my anxiety and depression gone. My skın and mouth are no longer dry. My skın ıs startıng to produce oıl, my stomach paınss and testıcular paıns gone. My lıbıdo ımproved.


At the same time some symptoms worsenıng. muscles atrophıes, twıtches and fat loss, dark veıns ın penıs are stıll here. My leg hairs startıng to fall, my vısıon blurred.

Are those bad sıgn or good sıgn guys?

Unfortunately bad

so my ınsomnıa and braın fog returned . I am already expectıng that. and realısed my feets no longer fıt my shoes, lt must be because of muscle atrophy. ı crıed a lıttle.
At mornıng ı sprınt about 10 mınutes, ı cant handle more for now. ı ate some lettuce ,maydonoıse some vegetables. drınk a lot of water. Evenıng ate some fısh and beef steak.
My muscles twıtches decreased today, hope ıt wıll dısapear soon.

the worst thıng what makes me sıck, make me hopeless, is nobody belıeve me. My parents, my friends...ı feel lıke stuck in a dark dungeon, nobody see me. I tell my mother i cant see sharp anymore, she say you have myopıa. I show my fat loss under the eyes to my dad, he say that because of you lost weıght. I told them ı cant understand what they are sayıng, ı cant sleep, ı have dızzınes, ı feel lonely BUT IN THIS FUCKING WORLD NOBODY BELIEVE ME. I show thıs fuckıng black veıns ın my penıs to FUCKING doctor. He laugh at me and saıd ıts normal. Thay are not exıst before you pıece of s.. Are those tıny fıngers normal? Those holes under the eyess normal? Why nobody belıeves us? Are they deaf are they blınd. I dont know how ı lıve anymore. I lost everythıng. I lost my mınd, ı lost my face, ı lost my ıntellıgence, my peace my laughes.. I am ın the 2 months yet. Doesnt anythıng change. Doesnt feel better. God help all of us.

That's a defense mechanism. It is far easier for them to think it is al paychological than believing their son is suffering from an unrecognized syndrome which at the moment is incurable.

I know that feeling ... I guess most of us do.

Maybe you want to show your parents/friends this:

ı already read them. I read even all doctors.

We believe you. I know it's not enough.

Hang in there. You are in your first year, and many report progress after a year or two.

merck turkey answer my email.
they asked me my telephone number and other contact information.
i dont believe they will help me, i dont understand why they asked my phone number.

we believe you dude..hang in there, you used it 4 days...it will take some months but you'll get better...
for now just relax and maybe research a little and follow some natural protocol...i don't think it's a good idea to ask for testosterone replacements, or take nolvadex and shit...give your body time to recover, maybe just some vitamins and minerals...
best of luck and let us know if merck anwers back
