Hi Scott,
Well, I can't necessarily associate it with melanotan II. But since I've been using melanotan II it's something that seems to occur more often. I've noted it several times before in this log. In the past I attributed it to high doses( ie 0.75mg +   -> that's high for me).  
 
On this occasion however, another person in the household had a sore throat/cold a day or two before my experiencing my symptoms. Also the temperatures here are much colder than they were a month ago.
 
I just wanted to make a note of it. - Niether associating or disassociating it with melanotan II.
 
Cheers,
Milkman.

Twice a day, in fact!
 
This one is under suspicion of being a viral infection. One of the previous sore throats that I've logged was bacterial (possibly secondary though). I don't believe that melanotan II causes these. But I do suspect melanotan II of tiring the body, thus leaving the immune system a little weaker. So suseptability is greater.
 
Cheers,
 Milkman

Ok, so it looks like I just had a virus. I've had no other side effects while dosing this low (0.3mg/day). - So I won't relate the sore throat to melanotan II this time.
 
On another note, my facial hair has gone dark again. I should point out that even though my dosage has been 0.33mg / day, I have forgotten to take it frequently. I would estimate that I remember 5 out of every 7 days. My color is warming up again (ever so slightly), but I've had zero sun for over 6 weeks.
 
On my next cycle, I'm going to experiment with an even lower dose. Any way that's a while off yet.
 
Cheers,
Milkman

UPDATE:
 
Ok, so about 2 days ago I ended the current melanotan II cycle (0.33mg/day...approximately). - Total 10mg.
Usually took a dose 5 out of 7 days a week.
 
I had no sun exposure during this cycle.
 
My facial hair has gone dark (black) again (Occured during 2nd or 3rd week).
 
No drop in body weight.
 
A minimal sore-throat experience (see recent posts).
 
At the moment some of the freckles on my face are more obvious. Not sure if my tan has backed-off, or if my freckles have darkened.
 
So now I'm going to take another month or so off from melanotan II. - And then I'll try another cycle. Maybe an even lower dose? Who knows....
 
Cheers,
Milkman.

yes this is scientific prooven, that UV-Exposion affects your immune system
i can really feel the impact  
sometimes get temporary light snuffing etc. which only lasts for some minutes/hours
 
# DO make sure you get enough vitamin D3 and beta-carotene, if necessary through supplementation. Recent research has shown that taking 30 mg of beta-carotene a day protects against the suppression of the immune system by UVA rays(13).
# DO make sure to supplement your diet with antioxidants. Dr. Abram Hoffer in Victoria, Canada recommends that vitamin C, vitamin E, and selenium be used as a protection against the damages of excessive ultraviolet radiation. He suggests daily dosages of 3 grams or more of vitamin C, 800 IU of vitamin E, and 200 micrograms of selenium (l-selenomethionine)(22). Vitamins C and E also protect against cataract formation(23,24).  
 
Its interesting that Vitamin C+E also prevents cataract (blurred view) development, so that should come handy for all users who experienced that side effect i think.
 
Gonna try out those dosages.

hey milkman
When u say faded.. do you mean your skin colour returned to your natural colour or is it just dramatically less?
 
can you let me know  
thx

UPDATE: - I'm back !
 
 
I haven't had internet access for over a month now. So this is the first update for a while.
 
Ok so I started my 4th melanotan II cycle around Aug 11, 2008. We are talking 0.2mg per day. And yes, there was barely any room left in the vial after Injecting all that saline water into it.
 
I've been pretty consistent, injecting 6 out of every 7 days, for the last 30 days. I have darkened again and my facial hair has gone dark yet again. There has been no exageration of freckles during this cycle.
 
I'm considering going to the solarium for a brief few minutes in a bed. - Just to see the response after 0.2mg/day.
 
Will let you all know!
 
Cheers,
Milkman.
 

Who is your supplier?

UPDATE
 
Ok so I've been pretty consistent with my 0.2mg / Day routine. This morning however I took 0.3mg because I'm running out of syringes and decided that I would go to the solarium (for the first time ever) today.
 
Well, I've got to say those things are hot. I kept my head & neck covered with a towel. My face is already dark enough for this time of year. The girl behind the desk thought I was a type 3! Seeing I had to sign a form waiving everything I guess she wanted me to write that I thought I was a type 3...just in case one day there was a court case.   hmmmm....
 
So, I did 6 minutes an my skin feels a tiny bit stimulated. I'll let you know more in a couple of days.
 
Tomorrow I'll use my last syringe. Then it could be a few days or even a week before I get around to buying some more.
 
 
Cheers,
 
Milkman
