Getting Sick On Cycle (Sucks)

[Jafar]

18 days into my Primo Oxandrin cutting cycle and I'm fuckin' sick. Congestion, throat and ear pain, head in a neutral zone, tired as fuck, just general shit, you know?

I suspect it was the combination of reduced immune function from the drugs and extremely low carbs. I haven't been to the gym in damn near a week, and I upped my carbs thinking it would help my immune system. So basically the whole damn cycle is temporarilly on hold. Should I continue to take the shit, or stop? I'm hoping to force my ass back into the gym tomorrow. This just blows because I never get sick, so it's extra bad, ya know? Like I don't know how the fuck to respond to it because it never happens to me. Maybe I'm being a pussy but I just don't feel like doing anything but laying around being miserable.

Anyone else get sick from dieting on steroids or is it just the season for this crap?

I've been there.

Your are only two weeks into your cycle. My guess you had planned to run it about 10 weeks or so? If that is the case drop all the juice. When you get healthy again, spend one or two weeks training naturally to get back to your normal poundages THEN start your cycle again.

As far as training goes...There is nothing worse than punishing yourself in the gym when you have the flu. That will only delay recuperation. Stop training altogether until you are ready to go.

As for your flu... Lost of rest, lots of liquid (never cold), good multi-vitamin and mineral. Over the counter drugs for the fever, pain and to help you sleep will help out as well (I like contact C extra strenght).

Well what concerns me is the fact that I've already thrown off my natrual hormone axis. (Don't buy that horseshit about Oxandrin not effecting natrual test levels. Anyone who knows the chemistry behind these drugs will tell you otherwise.) And obviously I have a finite supply of this crap, so I'm quite tempted to just stay on and get my ass in the gym as soon as I'm able. I generally only do one cycle per year, well one cycle about every 9 months is more accurate, so I don't like the idea of stopping this one after 18 days and starting it again in a couple weeks. I'm real big on returning natrual hormone levels to where they ought to be and keeping them there for a while. I figure I'm behind the pwoer curve by one week. That's significant, but stopping and starting over might fuck me up even worse.

I must give this some thought.
