Steroids and the Immune System.

[MaxBiceps]

Anyone know how negatively steroids affect the immune system?

This is my second consecutive cycle in which I've gotten sick in the
fifth week. I'm gonna take a little time off until monday and rest
up. The first cycle was deca/winny and this is a Eq/winny.

Question: Today I'm up for another shot of winny. Should I take the
dose as planned or chill until monday.

BTW I'm taking plenty of echinecea and vitamin C as well.

Any help/advice would be greatly aprreciated. Thanks in advance.

well they should not impact the imune system, if anything make it stroger. Anavar ect are medicines use to boost the imune system in aids patients.

Could be overtraining dude. Do you use glutamine? It can have a very positive impact on boosting the immune system. I've never been sick while using it and one time starting using while I had been sick for a while and was better after a few days - whether it was the glutamine or not is hard to say but who knows, it is a great supp. That's the second plug I've given for glutamine today. Hope that helps.

Some AS are known to diminish the immune system. I'm
not exactly sure how but I have heard this several times.

I tend to get sick more often on a cycle containing deca than on any other cycle. I'm not sure why but I know it to be true in my case.

prioabolan and anavar help?

 

[MaxBiceps]

did a little research and....

i think that most steroids have a negative
effect on the immune system, and the only that has a positive effect are
deca and anadrol or something like that.

Thanks for the replys.

DBol is another to boost the immune system........it is used to treat AIDES patients. I'm not sure, but I think sust can have a negative impact on the immune system, anyone else heard this?

Hey bro, i can help ya here, steroids give you a strengthend immune function whilst on them, but once you come off, your immune system is in ruins, the harder and more androgenic the cycle you have been on the more suppressed it will be when you come off.
You should use clen/clomid post cycle to get things back to normal asap, vit c and all that other shit simply does nothing, there is no medical way of intervening and boosting your immune system, you must just ride it out and stay as well fed and keep the best diet you can.
While on cycle though, you SHOULD have no problems, I would keep taking your winny.
One possibilitiy is that if you are only doing winny, which is not very androgenic, then you may be overtraining, and winny itself is no use at helping your body withstand heavy workouts, you should always run a test along side an anabolic like winny.bbigman2000.

well i'm in disagreement with about everyone on this thread..

i was pretty sure that the reason they use AAS with AIDS patients and the like are to help them maintain/regain bodyweight - not to do anything to the immune system

and, the way i see it, with the AAS in your system, all your energy in your body is going towards one specific goal - increasing its lean body mass instead of maintaining its immune system.

so i would think that AAS actually diminish the immune system.
