Its a viral infection that numbs a side of your face. Only supposed to last a couple of weeks or so.
If anyone is familiar with it can you tell me if its oK to finish my cycle? I tried to do a search by other means and havent found anything..Im sure we got MD's or knowledgeable bros on the board. Thanks.

God Bless.
 
:(


Christian,

I have always enjoyed your posts and am saddened that you have bells palsy.

I would delay my cycle until symptoms are totally gone!


Good luck and God Bless
 
Thanks Bro

I'll be fine. It sounds worse than it is though. I think I'll be OK in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the kind wordsand advice.

God Bless.
 
STOP ALL GEAR NOW!!! Treatment with cortico steroids has worsened Bells Palsy, and some of the affects of cortico'a are reproduced with AAR.

Be of good chear cause only one in ten people suffer permanent nerve damage.:)
 
I have a friend who was diagnosed with Bells Palsy 3 weeks ago. He has almost fully recovered but the first week or so was pretty bad. He could'nt move half of his mouth making eating and drinking very difficult. He also couldnt blink one of his eyes causing them to dry out and get infected so he had to wear an eye patch and keep his eye lubercated with drops. Dont worry about the gear! AAS has nothing to do it and will not make it worse. Finish the cycle and get well soon! Good luck with it man...
 
My step dad had it real bad and couldt even close his one eye for a few weeks. Its gone away, but he IS NOT back to normal yet and may never be.
 
Hey CL i had a girlfriend in high school that had it,100% recovery,i would just keep on with your current cycle,unless of coarse they have you on prednisone then i would take a break that is nasty crap.it is catobolic as all hell,pm or email Macro he is the guy that i think would have the answer.

Ok last post...

Just wanted to thank you guys for the support, Im sure I'll be fine.
Bigm thanks for the advice, I emailed Macro.
Thanks to all.

God Bless.
God Heals.
 
Too bad about the Bell's palsy. I always believed that Stallone had the ailment and did not fully recover owing to his anabolic regimen.

The steroid in question is most likely prednisone -- as stated above. In no way is it an anabolic substance. On the other hand, the drug is used to treat swelling associated with the disorder.

I assume your doctor did a CBC. Any infectious disease advice? Remember that steroids can act as immunosuppresants. A strong cycle might inhibit recovery.

Equally true, a steroid that causes a lot of water retention might make worse the swelling in the face. I refer to Anadrol, etc. -- the stuff that aromatizes.

Please be careful. You might rethink (anabolic) steroid use at the present time.
 
Gringo - Stallone has suffered from partial paralysis of the muscles on one side of his face since birth due to a traumatic delivery - I think he actually got stuck in the birth canal during labour and the nerve damage was caused by either lack of oxygen or by poor use of forceps!!!
 
Good luck to you bro. Bells Palsy symptoms almost always dissappears. Sometimes it can take several months for you to get back to normal.
 
i had bells palsy bro..its not as bad as it sounds..it lasted a few weeks but with the meds it wasnt that bad..hell i got out of school for a week or so..it was a few years ago so i loved not having school.. just make sure if u have trouble closing your eye to at least get some artificial tears or an eye patch..its usually caused by an inflamattion of the parotid gland which pinches the nerve responsible for that side of facial expression or an infection in the nerve..
 
CL you should be able to continue your cycle. No one really knows the cause of bells P. nor is there any specific treatment. Some doctors will prescribe predisone within the first couple of days, this treatment has not been proven effective. Nearly everyone recovers fully. Those that do not recover may need a nerve graft. The injured cranial nerve is usually replaced with a nerve taken from under the tongue. G-Force you are correct about Stallone. Realgains and Gringo you should refrain from making false statements or responding to issues that you have no knowledge.:)
 
Just wanted to add...

that though the prednisone is prescribed to treat inflammation associated with BP, depending on doseage, prednisone itself will make you retain water which is especially visible in the face. Of course once you have recovered and discontinue use, you will lose the water weight. Good luck and god bless.

Continuing Cycle

Liftsiron:

I may be wrong about Stallone. However, I did not state that he actually had Bell's Palsy. It was merely something I had thought about him. Speculation. Nothing more.

Sly certainly manifests the symptons, though.

Stallone is not the main point of the post. Forgive me. I'm not the type who has extensively studied his life. I majored in other things in college. Nor do I have a shrine dedicated to him in my living room.

You are right about prednisone, too. There is no proof that it will actually resolve the problem. But it has been shown to help in some cases, and it remains part of the standard Bell's Palsy protocol. Look it up in the literature.

The real issue, I emphasize, concerns Christianlifter and your recommendation. Roughly 99% of board-certified physicians would advocate a complete cessation of anabolics at the outset of the problem.

Complications are to be avoided, right?

In essence, Realgains and I have advised a much more safe approach to Bell's Palsy and anabolic use. Christian lifter should ignore Liftsiron's half-baked theory. It's risky at the present time. Any real m.d. would concur.
 
I'm actually recovering from this right now! It's almost scary that you posted this topic. I came down with it last Memorial Day weekend after a party. Had to go to the hospital Memorial Day morning. It's freaky stuff. No matter how much you think you understand it, you'll never know what it's like until you have dealt with it. The eye care bull crap, etc, it all sucks. My recovery has taken much longer than I ever thought it would. I have heard of people taking a whole year to recover and I feel like I'm in that category. My family and friends tell me they can't tell I've had it now, but I still feel it, and I know I'm still healing from it. I took the prednisone for a week but I've also read that there is no concrete proof of it helping the recovery. It's all about how much damage the nerve experienced during its compression. As strange as it sounds, I did accupuncture for a few weeks and I feel like it helped the most. As for the anabolics, I don't really know what to tell you. I'd say you might want to lay off at least until things start to get back to normal. Right now, the nerve is compressed, and I don't know what affect AAS would have on that. Aside from that, they usually prescribe a corticosteroid for the inflammation so maybe there are some issues between using a corticosteroid and an anabolic at the same time ... not sure. Be sure to get as much rest as you can the first few weeks, you'll need it. I had lots of fatigue up 'til about 3 months. I took 5 weeks off training and lost 15 pounds (I blame this on the prednisone and my lack of desire to eat). I'm back to my old weight and feel fine now. It gets better, just hang in there. Good luck to you bro, and take care of yourself.

Gringo you better tell 99% of the MD's who prescribe anabolics to AIDs patients about their immunosuppresent effect. Anyone as bright as yourself should realize that predisone fucks up the immune system more than anabolics ever could. Come on guy your talking through your ass and you know it. Peace.:)
 
Liftsiron:

I thought you might make a sticking point about the Stallone remark. Forget it. It's not the main issue I'm trying to make.

AIDS & gear -- completely different scenario. It's a cost-benefit thing than does not apply to someone who has Bell's Palsy. (You agree, right?)

Or any terminal illness (cancer), for that matter. More risks are taken. Even crazy, whacko forms of therapy. No FDA approval whatsoever.

(We really don't know much about CL's gear regimen. Nothing about cycle history. Therefore, it's tough to say how gear may have affected his immune system.)

Again, I am more than happy to admit that prednisnone can fuck-up the body. Often, the treatment is ineffective and discontinued in a short amount of time. In no way would the drug be used like gear in an 8+ week cycle.

The CBC, infectious disease remark refers to any complication or underlying disorder. It's part of the "cautious" approach that I advocate. More than one thing (other than Bell's Palsy) could possibly be amiss. Again, it recalls the lack of cycle history data.

In essence, your (Liftiron's) comments about continuing gear at the present time are irresponsible. Perhaps dangerous. (Think of the liver toxicity of Halo or Drol and prednisone alone. Then add the chance of something like toxoplasmosis or Epstein Barr -- to echo Milkbone's statement about fatigue.) Just look at the tone in the posts belonging to the people currently being treated.

Why then don't you retract your comment saying that "you should be able to continue your cycle." It's simply the "nothing wrong" attitude. "Gear as usual." You're just not right.
 
Gringo, this is my last response to this issue, unless you come up with real data as to why CL should not continue his cycle because of bells. All this "what if shit" in your last response is not worth the time that it takes to read. What if CL gets sent an Anthrax letter or hit by a truck. As for what 99% of MD's would say as to anabolics and bells we all know that they would caution against it. We also know that 99% of all Doctors caution against steroid use in a healthy person as well, so what point are you making there. This is an anabolic board therefore many of us use steroids against the grain of the medical world. If I had thought that roids would hurt CL I would have advised against it, but I have seen only evidence to the contrary. Good day.
 
as always there are some mixed opinions on thes sub. tell your doc of your as use and, of cours, he'll tell you to stop but ask him if is worsens the disease. in any event, have a speedy and healthy recovery and get back in the gym!

happy holidays,
ragin'
 
Liftsiron:

Risks factors not pertaining to Bell's Palsy -- yeah right.

You complain about lack of studies and literature? None exist, buddy. Think about it. “Bell’s Palsy Complications in Light of Sustenon Use – Ronnie Coleman speaks out.” Not the kind of reading offered in the NEJM or JAMA. Common sense/knowledge about prednisone are practically the only guide to approaching the subject.

The 99% figure? I realize we're at a pro-anabolic site. There are docs who support the cause -- based on the scientific data. Most are too afraid of the FDA and its scrutiny. The rest are simply beaten down into believing gear is bad.

A full 100% would argue against a teenager post found on the board: "I'm fifteen and eager to do my first cycle. I really don't need any blood work. Can you help me out?"

Sounds like your post. Or at list reminiscent. No concern for the possibility of a fuck-up.

I won't respond to the inanity, either.

(Have a Merry Christmas, though.)

CL:

Don't pay any attention to Liftsiron's dangerous rec. He's lost all pretense of scientific reason. More concerned about anthrax and buses. Here's basically his advice: "You should not be worried about a cycle and Bell's Palsy. Just be extra-careful in crossing the street close to a mailman in CT."

Gear at the present time is probably not the best thing -- like Realgains says. The Palsy could resolve itself. You don't want to prolong any potential recovery. Or add complications. (Look at Milkbone and his comments about fatigue.)

In that way, post-recovery, you can start a kick-ass cycle and not have to worry. Or hinder gains.
 
Sorry to hear bro , I don't know how far you are in your cycle but I would stop it now if the doc is going to give you predisone, a friend had to take predisone while on and had VERY bad sides one of the sides where he broke out on his back so bad it looked like a meat grinder got to him.
