Can Shingles be triggered by AAS

[rossgbs]

Can it be just a coincidence that on my first cycle 4weeks n I have Shingles for first time?
Taking sus250 and Winstrol?

it could but so could hundreds of different things.

I hope you got meds quickly it will help. I also hope its not too bad.. i was walking around with a beanie pulled down to my eyes and wearing sunglasses all the time to cover up everything.

Not gonna lie the pain sucked too but can be managed as well.

Good Luck.

Thanks for the post. I think I got it early to keep it not too bad but certainly it has interfered with my first cycle.

are you still able to lift? and eat properly. if you cant then i would stop the cycle.

Out of action for about 2 weeks. Am planning to extend cycle on sus250 for an extra 2 weeks to compensate. Have dropped Winstrol for the time being as I suspect the dehydration caused by winstrol was trigger for shingles.

honestly if i was you id stop everything right now and just recover. it sucks but just start pct and once you are 100% you can then get back to cycling.

Have you ever had chicken pox before? because shingles(Herpes Zoster) and chickenpox)Varicell are cause by the same herpe virus - VZV. You are most likely immunosupressed and virus either entered your system or it has been lying dorminant for sometime. I believe anti-viral treatment is only useful if started within 72 hours. Good Luck! hope you feel better keep in touch let us know what happens

some AAS will weaken the immune system, but most in my experience will boost it.

i seem to never get sick on cycle. then when i come off i get sick. perhaps it has something to do with high androgenic and anabolic levels in the body causing the immune system to be stronger.

heck many AIDS patients use AAS for a reason
