Damn man. I'm sorry that happened to you. I hate to see any of my fellow steroid brethren go through any health complications. I have a bit to share regarding the topic that I hadn't mentioned prior. When you posted your response from hunter, it had me thinking about the response I received when I reached out to him back in November.
So, much like you, I've been a customer of his for many, many years and had always opted for his test E 300 as well. I had 5 vials that I had purchased earlier in '23 put back. I was cruising on another sources test E, and when I finished with those, I had planned on starting my first blast in a few years, which I started in early November. From the jump, I noticed the pain at the injection site, soreness, redness, and warmness to touch that @TraumaRN described. Like..no joke, the sites I was pinning were literally hot to the touch in the days following each and every injection. The PIP was nearly unbearable, and I'm no newcomer to pinning.
I reached out to Hunter to let him know what was happening and see if he had heard from anyone else having the same issues. This is his response, copied and pasted, which is similar to the response you received.
"Oh yeah! The batch is a bit more yellow than usual and the PIP is mostly from an allergic reaction to the buffering agent the factory used around that time. I can sub the Test E out with the latest current batch or equivalent value of Test Cyp if you'd prefer. For sure the Test Cyp has zero issues."
I had many questions, but I left it alone since he offered to replace it. So this is what kinda pissed me off about the situation. In the following days/weeks, I sent several emails to see where we were at. Did he already send the replacements? Is he going to soon? I wouldn't know, he wouldn't respond back to me. So that kinda put me in a tough spot. I continued to pin the test, and started diluting it with some NPP in grapeseed oil from another supplier. I went through 2/12 vials of it. In hindsight, it was an incredibly dumb decision to keep injecting it. I tend to do knuckleheaded things sometimes. I eventually gave up on him sending replacements and received some new test in from another source. I should of just did that on the onset of problems. It may also may be worth mentioning that while on it, I had an overall shitty feeling, almost like what some I've heard some describe as "test flu". I'm not sure if that's fair though, it could of been unrelated or just placebo. Who knows.
So anyway, I hadn't mentioned any of this before, but considering the position you're in, I can't help but think that this could of been me. I'm not trying to blow things out of proportion and create mass hysteria, I'm just speaking my mind. How would I feel being a grown ass man with a career and a family, laid up in a hospital bed, about to get a chunk cut out of my shoulder, lat, quad or ventro glute? I'd feel terrible. Things like this serve as a reminder that this isn't a game, and there's real life risks we're taking, with real life consequences. So I feel for you man, I really do. But hang tight, things will get better with time and you'll move on.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention that when Hunter just posted an update a few days ago, I reached out to him once more, for one last try as a hail mary. He promptly responded and said he would be immediately sending the replacements out. I haven't received it, but that may have nothing to do with him. The USPS in my area is completely fucked right now, and it's been all over the news. I have several packages that I should have received several weeks ago from other places that I haven't received, so likely nothing to do with him. It could just be sitting in snail mail hell at this defunct sorting center, along with all my other packages.
Good luck, I'm pulling for you friend. I wish you a speedy and healthy recovery.
