That is one of the brands I use because on everything 3rd party tested from them scored at least 97% Unlike the Chondroitin BS, Boswellia works.

Iā€™ll have to try that. ā€œSeverity,ā€ is clearly a bit difficult to determine by radiograph. Mine is ā€œsevereā€ bilateral. The doc moved my thumb aboutā€¦ then said, sort of quizzically, ā€œthat hurt, right?ā€ I said. ā€œNo,ā€ so he tried again, ā€œthat hurt, yes?ā€ I responded: ā€œno.ā€ Then he tried once more asking ā€œwell, that hurt,ā€ and I said: ā€œIf you hit it with a 5lb mallet, yes, that will hurt itā€¦ā€ He really wrenched it.

Bottom line is that for some reason mine look awful on a radiograph but usually Nsaids (ceceloxib) takes care of it, though it is slowly getting worse.

Just one other thing - the benefit may not be immediately apparent like taking an nsaid. I donā€™t remember how how long it took to notice an effect, but it was quite apparent after a couple of months, iirc.

Does anyone know if one of these suppliers sells Freestyle Libre 3 sensors? Only the 2 is available in Canada and it seems you need a prescription to get them in the US.

It seems that they may be offering it, Iā€™m not sure how the prices compare. You can search on IndiaMart easily - see this link: https://dir.indiamart.com/search.mp?ss=Freestyle+Libre+3&mcatid=444900&catid=853&prdsrc=1&stype=attr=1|attrS&qr_nm=gd&res=RC3&com-cf=nl&ktp=N0&mtp=S&qry_typ=P&lang=en

At a glance I think it costs me less for the FreeStyle Libre 2 from Amazon Pharma than it would cost from the IndiaMart supplier. Yes, itā€™s a bit cheaper but w/ postage and $ transfer I donā€™t think so.

An Amazon Pharma I paid $71 delivered. Thatā€™s about 6,000 rupees. Seems like a ā€œwash.ā€

I did my research and settled on NovaMax glucose monitor and a KetoTrak monitor. The choice was based upon accuracy but also upon the strips. Itā€™s the strips that can eat you aliveā€¦

I can report my second successful order of 100 Rapamune tablets at BG Pharmaceuticals with shipping to Austria. It was 467 Eur. Shipping was performed in two batches with the second batch arriving one month after ordering.

Just received yet another shipment from Jagdish at rlhealthcare1928@gmail.com (RL Healthcare). This time 1200 tablets and it only took 13 days via EMS. So, larger shipments are getting through. This time I bought 400 each of Empagliflozin, Telmisartan, and Acarbose.

I think Iā€™m good for a while now.

Wow - youā€™re really pushing the envelope as far as package size and # of pills. Great to hear it got delivered with no issues. Its just always a riskā€¦ hate to lose it all if it gets stopped by customs.

FWIW: My latest order from Jagdish for 400 tablets of extended-release Dapagliflozin + Metformin was detained in U.S. customs for 30 days where it was opened, but they sent it to me without incident. This was the largest order size-wise that I have ordered. Maybe the point is as we have already deduced, large packages are more likely to be opened.

Was it shipped to Hong Kong? Are they relaxed about medications?

Iā€™m in the United States. When US Customs evaluates unopened, perhaps X-rayed packages, I wonder if they are trying to count pills or are more concerned with package dimensions. I just had 294 pills and 10 tubes of tretinoin clear customs in 13 hours yesterday. With 10 tubes and the pills in 3 boxes and 2 bottles, I assume the package will be larger than the tiny boxes Iā€™m used to.

The Chinese peptide vendors tend to pay brokers to get bulk shipments through customs. Once they are through, they break the orders out, put labels on, and reship. Zero seizure risk assumed on the buyerā€™s part.

Itā€™s illegal to ship prescription drugs to Hong Kong. They must be hand carried in luggage.

The 1200 pills were the ones I shipped to my parents in the USA. It went through JFK NY customs. Only 13 days is quite fast.

The package was not opened by customs.

A newbie question: how do we know that Oddway is more of a real business?

FWIW, here is their address on Google Maps
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Oddway+International+Ā®+-+Medical+Suppliers,+Distributors+%26+Wholesalers+|+Pharmaceutical+Exporter/@28.6410998,77.2425323,17.06z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x390cfcdeef23c391:0x183b35cf5cb8667f!8m2!3d28.6411103!4d77.2449927!16s%2Fg%2F1hd_l9x4f?entry=ttu

That exact spot isnā€™t covered by Street View. But this is the closest spot that is:

New Delhi weather this week :fire::

Yes - the heat in India is definitely a concern for any drugs that are sensitive to thisā€¦

Oddway is the only company that seems to have a real website (compared to just leveraging the Indiamart database/ platform where these vendors typically throw up a page with their contact info). See here: https://www.oddwayinternational.com

And its not like putting up a website is a very high barā€¦ but most of the India Pharma resellers donā€™t bother.

See what the ā€œofficesā€ of the typical India Pharma reseller look like here: Importing Rapamycin to Save Money (2) - #118 by RapAdmin

And the photos of the Oddway company ā€œheadquartersā€ looks real (see the photos in the link you shared, of their location), compared to the others which are typically some guysā€™ apartment.

Not to say that Iā€™ve had bad experiences with the guy selling medications from their apartments. They all seem to be the same medications no matter who you buy them from, but the storage conditions/temp ā€œmightā€ be better at a more official company.

Hi Chrisā€¦ I bought from Oddway International. I confirmed with them by email that they ā€œguaranteeā€ delivery . Gave them my home address. They send by EMS with labels that are ā€˜innocuousā€™ā€¦arrived without any problems, faster than Iā€™d expected.

Has anyone ordered from theantiaging.store? Are they reliable, and do they provide ā€œthe real dealā€?

The prices are very good.
