medical reasons for steroids

[ViperHMS]

Mikefear nailed it. The word steroid typically refers to any synthetic fat-soluble organic compound having as a basis 17 carbon atoms arranged in four rings. This includes not only anabolic and androgenic steroids but corticosteroids which are potent anti-inflamatories but cardiac aglycones and bile acids as well. The majority of people how ever hear the word "steroid" and immediately assume AAS. Wish I had a dollar for every time I had to set someone straight when the bragued to me about being on steroids.

HAHA the last of your statement was basically what i talked about when I shot mike some karma. I feel your sediments. OH know I've got to take Prednisone i hope i dont get roid rage.

How old are you, and how long have you had low T

Thanks for the replys, I should have realised there was a large spectrum. I didn't think they would give a script for low test levels. From what I have read here I think I fall into the low test area. My doc says it is normal but I just re-read over my blood work and I am sitting at 400 (rounding the number). I know my sex drive is almost nill, and I am always dragging ass.

Your doctor should be targeting the 800-1200 range. If he or she will not Rx enough to get you to that level and Rx you some aromatase inhibitors, find a new doc.

Just tell the doctor you are tired of being a wimp and you need to add 40-50 lbs of muscle.

Just have a reliable source and get enough juice to jack u up

The average range is somewhere between 400-1300, but could anybody provide an average range of testosterone levels when a person is on a cycle?

Good read on restorative TRT and Sexual Function

Thanks for the replys, I should have realised there was a large spectrum. I didn't think they would give a script for low test levels.

Here is a good read on the levels of Testosterone needed to recieve the benefits of restorative TRT.
