1st cycle aftermath

[nicee]

This post is a little long so be patient plz

ok so i finished my first cycle which was supposed to be test-e 500mg/wk for 12 wks....

week 1-3 no problems weight was increasing steady went from 195 to 201 mostly water retention..

Wks 4-6 got a cold felt like shit I had to take a couple days off faught through the cold got back on track went from 201-205..

Wks 7-9felt awsome kicked some ass in the gym 2 hr intense workouts 6 days a week

wks 9-10 Contracted a chest infection that was going around at work, I still worked out up till wk 10, the infection got soo bad that I was forced to stop my cycle cold turkey in fear that it may be contributing to my failure to get better. final weight was 218lbs

It took me a full month away from the gym and a week off work to recover from this infection with the help of some biaxin meds used to treat bronchitis. I did no pct which may have been a mistake but I value my overall health more than my appearance...

ok so now u got the background info I need to ask some Q&A from u pros out there
1 -why the fuck am i getting acne allover my back and chest a month after being off the gear?
2-have these sort of ailments ever plauged any of u the same way it did me?
3- Is it a bad idea to cycle during cold and flu season.?
4-I read in a medical journal that steroids lower the immune system is this tru?

sorry for the long ass post

Steroids do decrease the efficiency of the immune system, it is common to get sick while on, especially during the cold/flu season. Acne is related to hormone shifts that occur post cycle.

no offense stryker, just my opinion here, I had a big talk with some major ass users about this and then did my own reasearch. Steroids are supposed to keep your immune system strong especially during the first few weeks of a cycle. now I dont now if this is one specific steroid but From what i was getiting im pretty sure it was test. just my 2 cents

Testosterone will fortify the body in so many ways, immune function being one of them. However, many people suffer from 'test flu' after injection. This is not a bacterial or viral infection of any kind, it is merely your bodys natural response to foreign substances.

Just because your immune system is bolstered doesn't mean you CAN'T get sick. It just makes it less likely.

 

[paulwigan]

training two hours per time floors my immune system.

 

[KD1]

Yeah it sounds more like a case of overtraining than gear induced immune suppression.

Just because your muscles can recover does not mean your CNS and immune system can recover from working out that much.

Not everyone can train like Arnold.

no its not test that helps immune systme its cortisol, i think thats how you spell it. So ya I dont know about the test. And I think thats actually what the heavy lifters like the guys that bench 1000 pounds , i think they take a shot of that right before.

Testosterone increase red blood cell count, decreasing the ratio of red blood cells to white blood cells (the cells that are part of your immune system). Some steroids also increase white blood cell count, but I do not believe testosterone is one of them. When your white blood cell to red blood cell ratio is decreased, I believe is does decrease the efficacy of your immune system - I would like to note that I am not 100% certain that all that is 100% right, but I think it is

Actually, I see a consensus that high doses of AAS reduce the amounts of immune
globulin (IgA, IgG, and IgM), which are part of the body's humoral immune system.
These antibodies circulate in the bloodstream and attack invading bacteria. Having fewer of them may make a person more likely to develop a serious infection. I'm not a medical profession or scientist, but I've read this in several places online.

As for acne, I ALWAYS get acne several weeks after the end of any cycle (never DURING).... as Stryker said, it's your body telling you that hormones / chemicals are shifting.

I also typically get "test flu" within a week or so of starting a cycle, but it's usually pretty mild (few days at most) and it doesn't come back (unless it's during cold & flu season and it's the actual flu).

i always thought that it was when u come off the gear u get sik?

Acne post cycle can be normal if you are prone to it, you must realize that once you come off you are having a hormonal adjustment which is cause of acne.

and yes, AAS decrease immunne system to is it not an uncommon thing to become ill while on cycle

good luck to you

I got the flu yesterday and I still feel like shit today and im only 9 days into to a test and EQ cycle. I got sick the day after my injection do you think its test flu or immune system issues?

Test flu. It is my humble opinion that many - including myself - are having reactions to the BA content in the gear. It results in test flu - headache, vertigo, aches, and slight fever and accompanied with shot knot and injection pain. I am almost positive because I am running EQ as well and everything is good to go with those injections. I do get some intense burning from the EQ inejctions that goes away within 1 hour or so. Not sure what that is all about. I am going to bake my test e tomorrow or thursday and then inject Friday and let you know how it turns out. Also, I am going to switch to twice weekly injections with it (as many recommend anyway) and see if it helps.

Good luck

I heard that if you electrify your balls periodically it will increase serum test levels by 1,000,000,000 percent... Give it a shot and then post up what happens.
