Congratulations on starting the trip down the road to better health.  You've got 3x on your side, you're young big plus for sides. Aaron a forum member is a bit younger that you went through tx and never complained once, and worked the whole time !

Remember to DRINK WATER half of your body weight in ounces per day.  Eat fat with you're pills to increase bio-availabilty.  If you have questions about injections I found a video that helped me quite a bit.

Good luck,

James
