The truth on AS side effects from those who use.

[Dr. JK]

You don't have gyno listed. My friend had 2 operations just to remove all the glandular tissue

I ripped a tendon on my first cycle.

My big concern taking AAS (currently 32 years old and running my second cycle) are not the short term effects which I think everyone here is mentioning but the long term effect on specifically your heart and liver.

The short term sides (for me are totally minor), I think I just get a little extra stressed about things. It's 10-20-30 years down the line which concerns me...

I know there is a big debate about roid rage bieng real or not. I guess it all depends on he person but all too many times have i seen kids that are sauced and just can't control themselves knowing what is about to transpire can very well lead them to jail. Every year i see a good case of roid rage. Funniest time was on line to some place over here in the east were this kid got thrown out of the club for fighting and ended up in front of the club with the kid he was fighting well to make a long story short the (jiuced kid) (ya know he was juiced from the traps - bloated neck and puffy wrists but no waist) cleared out the whole frigin area got dragged to the ground by 3 bouncers then jumps up like he was god literally "grunting like a horse"out of his nose.. I'll never forget it - mind you this guty wasn't that tall just had enough steam to bull doze anyone - And they let kid walk away

The truth is steroids will shrink your testicles but it is not permanent and most non users think the side effects are permanent but its not

I wish you had included abcesses. Everyone has that one bad shot early on where they get scared they've got an abcess, I'd just like to know how many have actually had them.

backne, hairloss if you have the gene, water retention, higher blood pressure. My bp was around 140-90 for awhile. Had it tested 2 days ago and it's down to 123/73. Shriveled nuts. I guess that's about it. It's the things you can't see that are the most dangerous. Oh and I tore my pec from the insertion. Also abnormal sex drive or lack of sex drive if you use deca.

or a broken blood vessel, or when you have hit a nerve.

on my last cycle i had a bloody injection that resulted in days of pain on my glute. it really freaked me out that i might have had an abcess. went away to my relief, on its own.

 

[glennds]

it. It's the things you can't see that are the most dangerous..

yup, which is the reason doing bloodwork is so important. AAS use can significantly affect your BP, cholesterol, and liver enzymes.

i am a firm believer in time on=time off to let your body recover from a cycle. don't kid yourself that you are immune to these sides.

Re: Edema

Bloat is the worst, I can't breath, can't tie my shoes, can't walk too far, I have a round-ass-face, I am a nasty water-holding blob when on a bulking cycle.
Blood pressure and bloat are my sides. Very mild acne AFTER a cycle.

Haha...the Lollypop Head Syndrome - that sure sucks. Yes, hair where you never had hair before, parents answering the phone when you call and thinking you have a cold - or that you are your brother...Crappy looking hair and post-cycle acne. Thank goodness for powerlifting (aka retired bodybuilder). Take care.
