got my bloodwork

[swole]

everything was on point except cholesterol was near 200 total because i had just dropped my oral winstrol after a 5 week course of it

i dropped the winny tabs 2 weeks before bloodwork so i feel as if my numbers haven't stabilized yet

last year i was on test/primo only and my total cholesterol was 140

everything else in range. going back in 3 months to see if the bad number drops even further and the good goes up

meanwhile i'm upping omega 3's to 3grams per day, more oatmeal in the AM and dropping cheese, some eggs, most of my red meat and replacing it with more salmon, tuna steak (not canned), tilapia, orange roughy and fat free milk, going to cook with olive oil too

doc told me my hemocrit and hemoglobin were slightly over top end, nothing dangerous. he suggested i donate blood and joked about having a ton of good blood

bp has been 130/80, he wasn't concerned said it was good for a person my size...plus i'm still on test/primo/mast. he said donating will help lower bp too

creatinine was slightly over top end. further urine test revealed nothing wrong with kidneys. doc saic in muscular dudes this number will be toward the top end of the range.

get your blood done!

+1 sounds good!

Excellent man! I was on Winny for 6 weeks followed by Var for 4 weeks (I know, bad idea) and after a 2 month break, I got my bloodwork done and my cholesterol was 134. I used plenty of omegas and red yeast rice, as well as a steady lean diet.

I'm sure the levels will come back fine in a few weeks.

any idea what the cholesterol was shortly after winny? i'm thinking it takes a good 2 months for levels to stabilize after that oral compound

No, I'm sorry man. It was the first time I got bloodwork done in years. But I think that with orals that have a strong effect on cholesterol such as winstrol and anavar, we should give adequete time off of them so that our lipids can recover.

i told my doc i came off winstrol 2 weeks prior to bloodwork and he was like yea they should recover

but i am thinking that's NOT the case. he's not an endo so i don't expect him to know, which is why we're redoing my bloodwork in 3 months

get your blood done!

That sounds about right.

The winny will elevate LDL.

Mast will elevate bp.

Use apple pectin, policostonol and Primrose oil to lower LDL.

Take extra folic acid to keep hemocrit and RBC in check.


Donating blood is a good idea but it'll make you feel like shit. I just get more blood tests! : ) Ask for everything --prolactin, progesterone, free T etc. They'll take about 5 viles (about a quarter of a pint).


Yet, more proof ....Test and Primo is the most side-effect free combination.

Sounds good. Personally I think you cholesterol is ok as well. I wouldn't worry. Add in some garlic.

Did he check your blood for the insane gene levels. cause you crazy you know.

just saying.

Did he give you the hematocrit number? It's a percent, right? I'm curious how much that can go up. I know cyclists try to stay just under 50%.

 

[sonicwaste]

what are some of the short term problems associated with high cholesterol? I am aware of the more long term effects, but not so sure on the short term.

Possible stroke if it's over 300 and you're over 40.

i have a copy in front of me from quest labs

hemoglobin 17.2 H (range is 13.2 - 17.1 g/dL)
hematocrit 50.2 H (range is 38.5 - 50.0 %)

they are barely over the top end which is why they were flagged as high on the report

you saying DHT in general will raise bp? if i drop mast altogether you think by the time esters clear my bp will be significantly lower on just test?

i might go into my next drawing cruising on test just to see what HRT equivalent numbers would be
