I don’t sleep for shit if you couldn’t tell

I also supplement with whey protein, waxy maize and bcaa’s around workout time.

During week 12 and 13 I upped my celebrex to 400mg because I was beat up going into a contest – I know better but did it anyway.

I have had issues with dark urine over this cycle but it goes away with increase fluid intake.

It’s always worse after I run.

Over the last week I have had dark urine again. I increased my fluid intake from 1.5 gallons to 2 gallons. And it was still there. I also started having pains in my abdomen (lower center – right near my belly button)

After encouragement from guys on this forum I went to the doc Friday. They found blood in my urine and no protein. They chalked it up to me running and lifting a couple days before. They drew blood and I will have a follow up on Tuesday. I only told the doc about increased celebrex and beastdrol. If my numbers come back all fucked up (which I am sure they will) I may admit to being on HRT (which was not prescribed by my doc)

After some research on the web I found that this is very common with runners – the jarring of running causes the lining of the kidneys to bleed.

Needless to say I have stopped my celebrex as well as aas.
Here are m questions to you bros:

1. Anyone with experience with this?
2. I am still planning on PCT in two week maybe more because of the EQ. I was going to use HCG and nolvadex. I have heard nolvadex is harmful to the liver. Thoughts on this?
3. Can you find anything else in my regimen that would make my condition worse?
4. Is this what is happening with guys when their urine gets dark?
5. what can I do to increase my rate of recovery?

I will not be working out between now and tuesday - already the urine issue has "cleared" up.

sorry for the long post but i figured I would give all my info now instead of answering questions...

I didn't even read the post. Based on title I have 3 words: GO. TO. DOCTOR. PS Be honest with him/her.

 

[165pwrlifter]

already did (it's in the post)

Looks like to many things hitting the liver at once? Hard to tell keep me or us posted. Hope you get better bro.

I would strongly suspect the Neurontin. Neurontin is the trade name for Gabapentin and is very hard on the kidneys. I would suggest that you slowly reduce the dose until you are not taking it any more. I doubt that it is helping any nerve injury that you have in your groin area.

 

[timtim]

14 different oral meds and supps. what do really expect your body to do with all that shit? that isnt counting the beastdrol.

 

[lookinfit75]

Yeah to many different kinds of orals. Just because it isn't juice doesn't mean it isn't going to kick your body's ass. I would suggest you stop all orals and run some kind of cranberry extract (to help out your urinary system) along with the Liv52 and even some kind of dandelion extract (added liver dextoxification) and just keep the water coming. The blood/protien issues are from your kidneys being stressed out. Also if you are a heavy stim user or especially coffee drinker, your piss will look like iced tea.

I just read up a bit on Neurontin and that stuff should NOT be used by persons with renal (kidney) issues.
This is from Wiki:

Adverse effects
Gabapentin's most common side effects in adult patients include dizziness, drowsiness, and peripheral edema (swelling of extremities);[20] these mainly occur at higher doses, in the elderly. Also, children 3–12 years of age were observed to be susceptible to mild-to-moderate mood swings, hostility, concentration problems, and hyperactivity. Although rare, there are several cases of hepatotoxicity reported in the literature.[21] Gabapentin should be used carefully in patients with renal impairment due to possible accumulation and toxicity.[22][23]
An increase in formation of adenocarcinomas was observed in rats during preclinical trials, however the clinical significance of these results remains undetermined. Gabapentin is also known to induce pancreatic acinar cell carcinomas in rats through an unknown mechanism, perhaps by stimulation of DNA synthesis; these tumors did not affect the lifespan of the rats and did not metastasize.[24]

Some good info up in here guys. Good job.

Got my blood work back and did another urinalysis. After 3 days of inactivity I had no blood in my urine and again no protein. My liver enzymes were elevated which is to be expected after all I have put my body through. I am only going to post my elevated numbers. Interestingly enough my kidney numbers all came back normal.

AST 94 range 30-65
ALT 70 range 15 37

One thing that must be kept in mind is that I lifted the day of the test, which will elevate both of these numbers – not that much but some…

WBC 11.4 range 4.1-11.1 - anyone know why this would be elevated?

ABSOLUTE NEUTS (no idea what this is) 8.2 range 1.8 – 8.0

I saw a nurse practitioner both this time and last Tuesday. She didn’t seem that concerned about the liver enzymes then again she’s a fucking moron.

I asked, “This was the fifth day in a row I lifted. Would that elevate my enzymes?”
NP “no that would be your kidney numbers.”
Afterward I called my brother, a cardiologist, and asked him “what numbers would be elevated if I just lifted.”
Brother: “ALT & AST. These were the old markers for a heart attack.”

I am going into PCT at this point and will keep my cycles to 10 weeks form now on.

Thanks for the help guys.
