so depressed..staph infection during pct

[rappert]

So i just recently finished low dose test/var cycle in which i made really nice lean gains. About the day i start my pct protocol I notice a red bump in my armpit. three days later it is the size of half a golf ball and so painful that i can't raise my arm. I ended up going to the doctor four times over the course of the week. They had to lance it and put me on 3 different antiobiotics, one of which (bactrim) made me so ill that i couldn't eat or really do much of anything. The dr stressed the importance of finishing the antibiotic in case its mrsa..so i just toughed it out for a week until yesterday when i couldn't handle it. I saw a different DR and she was like "thats crazy..i'll just give you something else" ..and she did and I feel fine now.

But..almost 2 weeks of not lifting and over a week of not eating and i have already dropped 5 pounds. It's really freaking disheartening to say the least.

Ok, i'm done bitching..

Sorry to hear this my man but please try to be positive. Look my man something as simple as using wheytobuildmuscle as your protein during the day 3 times a day at a "double serving" then muscle relenisher for post cycle and then Using the entire Night time muscle stack from needtobuildmuscle.com before bed. SOmething like this added to your diet can gain that 5lb back in a week.

IN fact if you add this exact program I have laid out for you above and run it for a week and you do not gain back the 5lb I will make it free for you!!!

I created my company ( now companies) and products for the same reason I was here helping members on the forums for 4 str8 years before I had my company. Because I love to help people and You guys are my life line.. Yes I need you guys and for more then anyone knows...

DUDE!!! I truly hope you get better fast man.

Sorry to hear that man...you can get 5 pounds back.

Do you have any idea of how you picked it up?

 

[stevesmi]

you suffered an allergic reaction to the anti-biotic.. your doc let you down here my friend, should have switched ur anti-biotic to something with less sides. in any event get on some pro-biotics asap and soon you will be back in the gym kicking ass. stuff like this happens, just take it as an opportunity to rest your ligaments and tendons

So weird this thread is up. Woke up yesterday with a small growth in my armpit also. I had one two weeks ago too but it went away. Week 8 or so of my cycle of 500 mgs sust and week 5 of tren ace 100 mgs eod. Also using caber and arimidex

Shower after your done hitting the weights. Gyms are staph prone areas.

If ya cut or scrape yourself at the gym, COVER IT...i'd rather do that then have my muscles scraped for the resistant mrsa.

that is all

Thanks everyone.

Needto, ill check it out. You haven't steered me wrong yet.

It had to be from the gym. It was a terrible experience..I hope no one has to go through that..seriously. I'm almost nervous to go work out there again.

But ill be doing light squats later today. Abscess is still not totally healed so I need to be careful.

Wow man this is rather close to the same thing that just happened to me although I just started a cycle of beastdrol and right at the end of week 1 I had a weird rash show up on my right shoulder. The next day BAM it was like double in size. At first I thought poison ivy cause I was cutting grass the day before so I let it go. Next day even bigger and I had a small spot below my pec forming. So went to the Dr. turns out its impetigo which is a form of staph infection. They prescribed my mucipiron ointment stuff.

Well since then it spread in small patches over my stomach and a few spots on my arm. It has been 2 weeks now still isn't gone yet the first few spots have gone away. So I am giving it until next week if it isn't gone yet I am going back to the dr because I can't stand not being able to workout. Just over 2 weeks now and I am going CRAZY!!!

Feel for all you my good bros and sincerly hope the very best for all of you.
Best regards bros.

dirty gym and touching other guys if you play a sport will spread staff infections.

i would find a new gym seriously. or wipe down the equipment thoroughly before using. that is nasty

I have been at this gym for almost a year now and never had a problem until now. I would go find a new one but this gym is the best one in my area, by far the best when it comes to equipment. I might bring it up to the owner maybe they need to do some extra cleaning or something because I love this place. Or maybe I just need to be a little extra vigilant when it comes to cleaning equipment before I use it because I will admit sometimes I am just too in the zone to even have the thought cross my mind.

Try not to become germophobic though because it can pretty much take over your life!

 

[rappert]

Its weird steve..my gym isn't even a year old...brand new equipment and I thought the staff was pretty thorough in cleaning it..its really tiny. I guess I was wrong.

There have been a large group of guys coming recently who live in a halfway house nearby..I wouldn't be surprised if they were the culprit.
