This has been my experience with Bimix 15/1.

A few months ago I started using it at a dose of 10 units and everything was going well until one day it suddenly stopped working. At first I thought the medication had expired, so I ordered a new vial, tried it again, and still nothing. Then I started noticing that in the area where I injected, a small bump would form — like the liquid was staying there under the skin. It wasn’t super obvious, but you can tell when something looks different.

After trying a couple more times and getting the same result, I talked to my urologist. Based on our video call, he suggested I come back in so we could confirm I was injecting in the correct spot. Turns out I was probably injecting too low like "4:00 o 5:00". It’s actually harder to calculate than people think because you’re looking from above and trying to estimate the middle/perpendicular angle I understand that haves to be at 9:00 o'clock 3:00

Anyway, I went back home, tried again in the corrected area, and it worked perfectly. But after that, I used it again and it stopped working once more. I even switched to Bimix 15/2 and still no results. So now I’m thinking I still haven’t fully figured out the right spot.

Does anyone have any tips or personal experience that helped them consistently find the correct injection site?

I’d like to share my experience with Miller Fisher syndrome in case anyone has advice, especially about two issues that still worry me a year and a half later.

It all started after several days of diarrhea. I began to feel better, but one morning when I woke up, I couldn’t focus my vision. It didn’t improve throughout the day, so I went to the ER. They referred me to a specialist, but by the next day my vision had become double, and I started to feel unsteady.

I went back to the ER, and they ran multiple tests, but nothing showed up. The following day (a Saturday), my vision got much worse, so I went to an ophthalmology emergency clinic. They told me it could be something more serious and sent me to a hospital for further testing.

After several days and many tests, I was diagnosed with Miller Fisher syndrome.

During my hospital stay, I lost strength in my hands—I couldn’t even open a bottle of water—and walking became difficult. I stayed there for 13 days. In the last 5 days, I received daily treatment (IV therapy). After that, my hands slowly started to regain movement and flexibility.

I was discharged and continued recovering at home for about two months. However, I lost around 7 kilos (about 15 lbs), and I could literally see my muscles disappearing. I also wasn’t able to have any sexual function.

I was 45 at the time, a healthy man with a slim build and a very active lifestyle due to my work.

After about 6 months, my vision returned to normal. Around the one-year mark, I felt like my energy had mostly come back. But my muscle mass hasn’t, and I still get tired very easily. Trying to exercise is difficult because the fatigue is intense.

My sexual function hasn’t improved either. I’ve seen a urologist and tried some medications, which help, but it’s not the same as before.

My questions are:
If you’ve experienced this, what helped with fatigue and sexual function during recovery?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thank you.
