I get sick after every injection

[Dominator Human]

I am in my 5th week of Test Cyp 500mg/wk and Deca 400mg/wk and since day one I notice I get a slight cold 1 day after each injection.

The first 4 weeks were not so bad, but last Saturday about 6 hours after my injection I started getting a bad runny nose. By Wednesday I was so sick I couldn't go to work for 2 days.

My diet is good, I take 2000mg of Vit C per day, drink plenty of OJ and now it's Saturday again time for my next shot and I don't want to get sick again.

Is it possible that the BA is making me sick? Can I bake my gear to kill bacteria? I have split my shots but that does not seem to help.

I have lost so many days in the gym by being sick.

Any advice?

This doesn't sound good.I suspect you have contaminated gear, the Ba wouldn't do that to you.
you can try baking at 200 for 15 min.

It is contaminated AAS most likely causing bad 'test flu' (allergic reaction).
Try baking it. That will kill the germs. But it will not 'kill' the allergins.
If it still continues, then you have the choice to discontinue it, or live with bad test flu.

you could be allergic to the individual ester of the test, but being that it is cypionate the flu would last alot longer...contaminated gear i would say, discontinue and discard...great avatar btw

try this. take every vial that you have of what you are taking. place a pin in the rubber and bake it. then retransfer and filter it into some sterile vials. if you do not get better results after that then throw the crap away.

you could always put pin in the stopper and boil in about 1/2 inch of water. I like it better than baking cause i know it isnt gonna melt the stopper.

 

[bigtravis]

youre not going to melt the stopper at 250 for 15. you will be throwing that top away any how. why fool around with a bunch of messy water.

Whether you bake or boil, a straight 15 minutes is not enough time to completely destroy bacteria. You must bring the vial up to temperature first, and then time it @ 15-18 mins. @ 250 deg. I am not sure at what point there is degradation, if any, of the various compounds though. I am looking into converting a simple pressure cooker ($25) with thermometer, pressure gauge and strainer, into a low-cost stove-top Autoclave for this purpose. When it comes to ensuring I don't get a giant abcess that has to be cut out in the ER, or worse, this is pretty simple stuff. Then filter through a .20 micron Whatman or Millipore while still warm. I don't care where you get your gear, specially UG, sooner or later it will be contaminated.

Thanks for the advise guys.

I just opened 2 new bottles of Test and Deca and going to shoot again today.

I have talked to plenty of bros on another board who use the same stuff and no one else gets this sick.

I do have allergies so bad that I have to get shots 2 times per week so it may be possible I am allergic to this brand, but I know I am not allergic to Test Cyp as I am on HRT and have a script from my doc.

I'm making good gains, but they could be better. I've got 6 more weeks on the Deca and 8 on the Test and I'm going to try to make it.
