    How Many Of You....?

    Have actually had serious health issues, scares, concerns, or close calls from AAS use? And if any at all, how much of it was the drugs fault, or a case of, if I knew then what I know now? I'm just curious....

    Really looking for some experienced guys to chime in on this. I know there is a hefty number of you on here who have been on for well over 5-10 years.

    Thanks for the answers in advanced...

    Disclaimer....

    This is all just for the sake of asking the question and hopefully shedding some new knowledge on the subject for myself. Thanks.

    Great thread. I just jade blood tests run last week and I gotta call back saying my liver values are off. I went in for another blood test and now I'm waiting for the results. To be honest, I'm freaking out. Its been over 3 months since my last cycle. I know your liver repairs itself, but why would they be fucked up still. May not be steroids related, maybe I somehow got hepatitis... idk. I am a recovered alcoholic, so maybe after years of stressing my liver, it is finally bucking back. On another note, I've been sober over 3 years and in that time they have never told me my liver wasn't functioning correctly. It maybe just a spook, but its no fun to sit in anxiety thinking to myself, "what did u get ur self into now?" I was getting blood done to see if I was g2g on another cycle, but this throws a wrench in those plans. If something is wrong with my liver, I wont run orals again and then ill have to change up my cycle layout. So many things going thru my head, its hard to process.
    Idk if that's what ur looking for, but thanx for the opportunity to vent. I needed that. Ill post back when I get the labs in

    Nothing serious, but the occasional achy joints, blood pressure spikes while on, higher than normal cholesterol while on.

    Over all, if you know what your doing, and know how to react to a side and do not over do it, you will be fine.

    As for the guy above me, being that you were an alcoholic at one point, damage was already done to your liver at some point in time, yes in 3 years you havent had a problem, but depending on your cycle you just came off of, the orals in could have been enough to set your liver up for some problems. A normal liver, yes can heal itself. But yours was weakened to a degree, during your rougher times.

    I hit a vessel(I think) in my shoulder my 2nd shot ever - had a huge bruise and it hurt like hell, couldnt raise my arm above my head for a.few days.

    Other than that just a few zits on my back, and for some reason my arms go numb sometimes when I'm asleep when I run over 600mg of test a week

    Nothing too major here except a few bouts with Gyno, once pretty bad. I was fortunate enough to reverse it with a strong letro protocol and missed surgery but prob not by much...

    Jump on a liver support if you are not already. These can help drastically. I use Advanced Cycle Support by IronMagLabs year round. ANother descent one is Organ Shield by Purus but ACS by IronMag has more in it and more servings.

    Hello,

    Some years ago, I went to the doctor because some kind of pain in the chest. He sucked my blood and Myoglobin was very high.

    High myoglobin occur when you have a heart attack, so the doctor got very scared and sent me to check my heart. He made me an electro-thing... and all was OK.

    He become asking me about diet, habits etc... and I told him I had a very hard workout with heavy weight the day before. And that was the problem. Hard workout can elevate myoglobin as result of muscle cell damage, causing a false positive.

    So guys, if you have someday myoglobin checked an values are high, don't panic and talk to the doctor about our sport.

    Best regards.

    Pd: Apologize for my english.

    I get winded very easily during fast paced walks, or wrestling with my fiancees brother. I think it has to do with gaining 50lbs in 1.5 years... but the steroids got me there. Maybe it's a combo? I haven't the slightest clue...

    For anybody that is wondering, turns out my liver is fine. Doc said aome level that has to do with my bones is off but its not of concern. I think from here on out I will also get my bloodwork done on the side as well as with my doc. Thanx for the comments. This was definitely a scare tho, had me questioning my life choices

    To answer the OP, if you keep your doses reasonable and the length of the cycle reasonable, you should be fine long term. You will have lipid and liver issues with orals, if you're using an A/I and D/A when needed, you'll be fine.

    It all comes down to educating yourself BEFORE doing things.

    Only thing that has happened to me in 10 years of AAS use is a abcess that needed to be surgically removed due to bacteria in some mexican garbage gear.

    Gyno behind right nipple required surgical removal at 20 or 21 yrs old - 1st or 2nd cycle (didn't run an AI).

    Currently, tapering off months and months of multiple orals and cholesterol is bad. HDL is 8 and LDL is 198. BP also high: between 150-160 Systolic.

    Will end orals and continue blasting injectables until further notice. Currently in body recomp phase of summer cut.
