Corticosteroids and anabolics

[silverbackn]

I doubt that many on here are experienced with this as it is probably somewhat rare. I figured I would give it a shot though. I have ulcerative colitis and was just put on prednisone (which is horrible shit). I was planning on starting a cycle in a week or two. I don't know if I should post-pone it until I am off the prednisone, which won't be for another 3 months or if I should just give it a go. Prednisone is muscle wasting and can definitely have some sides. I have used it before. Has anyone ran a corticosteriod simultaneously with anabolics? If so, what were the results? The part of my body that the prednisone is working on is my descending colon (which is smooth or involuntary muscle) which obviously doesn't have androgen receptors the way that skeletal (voluntary) muscle will. Again, I would love to hear some feedback on this. Thanks in advance.

A couple of people I know have got this. I dont think that the steriods, depending on what you use would be the main problem.

I think the main problem which they have found is food and I know that if your bulking eating an excessive amount of food during a bout of it, would make it even worse.

If you could wait until after it dies down then you stand a better chance of getting to the end without too much distress. Just my 2 cents.

I have never had a problem with my colitis flaring up while on cycle. My concern is combining the prednisone with the anabolics. There may be contraindications. Both of the gastroenterologists that I have had said it had nothing to do with diet or any supplements that I am taking. What I have is in the lower part of the descending colon, not the stomach. Thanks for the response bro, k to you.

Like you mentioned, I have no experience with this disease other than to see patients with it,

I would suspect a small amount of anabolic, test and deca would help minimize the wasting affect in other muscle groups.


Crummy disease to have as a body builder I hope you recover quickly with no long residual problems.

There is a website that was posted on here a while ago that you type in what you are taking and it lists the action and or reactions to certain meds etc. I dont know if anyone can find it but I have been looking if I find it I will let u know.

I was planning on running my biggest cycle to date. I may just ease into it and see what happens if I can't seem to find anything flying in the face of doing it.
