Thought I'd give the Iron Brothers an update...

Hang in there bro! Let us know if they find out whether it's a genetic liver disease or what? You should probably be cutting back on your protein intake by the way. Any undue stress on the liver should be curtailed immediately. Please keep us updated and our prayers are with you bro!

Just a reminder to all the newbies contemplating their first cycle...please go to a doctor and have a full blood/lipid profile done before you take the plunge. Doing everything you can to discover any pre-existing conditions that might be exacerbated by AAS can save your life.

Take care of yourself

Do whatever you have to do, make whatever life style changes necessary to help your liver recuperate.

One thing...it sounds like these problems suddenly manifested themselves...in the months preceeding your problems, did you have any indications that something was wrong with your body?

I would check with your doc before taking supplements that are supposed to be good for your liver. How do you know you wont just stress it even more?

No, the onset of the symptoms was immediate. At week 9 of my cycle, I switched from Sustenon and EQ(500mg/EW/of each) to 100mg Winstrol/ED and 100mg Propionate/E3D. Three weeks later, during week 11 of the cycle, I got severe swelling in my ankles and feet. At first, I thought it was water retention from the Prop... I thought it was an overdosed batch or something. Nevertheless, I decided to bin my cycle at that point. I had done several androgenic cycles in the previous 4 years and never had that side effect before, so I thought it'd be best if I went clean. The swelling didn't go away, it got worse. I eventually(6 weeks after the first sign of peripheral edema)went to my Doctor... he had a lab pull my blood values and that's when I received the news about my Liver. The jaundice didn't set in till about 2 weeks ago.

I'm positive it was the high dose of Winstrol that did this to me. In 4 years of using AAS, that was the ONLY time I got cocky with a 17AA. I first intended to only do 50mg/ED, but the results I got from Winstrol were immediate and dramatic... I got so excited about what is was doing to my physique, that I bumped it up to 100mg/ED WITHIN DAYS of starting the drug. I was cranking 1mL of Winstrol suspension ED and doing 1 50mg Winstrol tab/ED... Spectro, both ways.
