Long Term Use... results.

[Monster]

(this appears on the Anabolic board, but I wanted to share with all of you over here, since I dont know if everybody checks over there...)
--------------------------------------------------

Ok, since we were on the subject of long term use latly, I thought Id mention that I just got my first all-around physical done since Ive been using (a bit over 5 years).
A little history:
Ive always been a heavy user when I cycled. 1000mg of sustanon a week, 100mg EQ a day or EOD, 50mg ref a day... cycles varying from 8 weeks to 12. Ive been on without a break since Febuary (I think... round about at least). I started with sustanon at 1000mg a week and took it to 8 weeks (clean at 8 week mark) but instead of cleaning out I decided to diet and use 500mg of AraTest a week, plus 200mg of T200 (it was laying around, getting close to expiry date, and underdosed so I threw it in) and 1 cc of injectable B complex a week. Granted thats hardly what would be called a "bridge", but thats beside the point right now.

So, the physical:

The results were as follows (sorry I dont have a copy but I'll relay what I remeber. The doctor doesnt know I use as a side note)

height 5' 10"
weight 246.5 lbs

*My EKG came back sparkling!

*Liver values well within acceptable range.

*(I dont know what this one is, but it was good) Billy Rueben (sp?) something-or-others OK.

*Thyroid function ok.

*HDL and LDL were slightly elevated, he said its not TOO bad, but we'll watch it (if he knew I used he'd know that its normal)

*Heptological screening came back clear (hepatic function and such).

*blood pressure was normal

*a bunch of other little things all checked out (like creat., Na, K, glu., yadayada)

So all in all I have to say that Im pleased with it all, and my heavy (but intelligent) use of gear has done nothing but improve my life!

I was espescially interested in the EKG results, so that was a relief. It easy to spout facts of this person and that uses long term (I spout that stuff ALL THE TIME!), but when youre dealing with your own body its a little more scary... so woo-hoo for me!

Glad to hear that you are good to go Monster!
What do you tell the doc to get him to run everything that you want done??? If I went to my doc and said I want a physical and I want you to run this test and that test his first question is going to be WHY? I would think that for most of you guys that the doc would suspect just by looking at you but it is not that obvious in women. The last thing I want is for my doc to get out his little red pen and go to work on my medical record.

Good to hear!


See, I truely believe that gear can be used with little amount of problems when someone takes care of themselves---takes liver & kidney support supplements, drinks proper amounts of water, etc.

I too went for a full checkup-blood tests, chest xray, ekg,check kidney & liver, etc awhile ago, and the doc said the same thing--actually he said that I was in tip-top shape, and that my cholesterol was so outstanding, he wantedd to put it up on a board in the dr's room as an example!

Well, Temple... I cant go into specific details because there is a "hustle" of mine in the works, but I was in for a made up disorder which I knew would require some of the tests I wanted done, then I just asked for the Lipid profile in addition. Of course I used dumb talk "Um, can ya check my cholesterol and all that too?". I fond a lot of doctors get standoffish with patients who might know a thing or two...

That's so true. An educated patient is not what most doctors are comfortable with. It's good to hear you're doing well.

Im doing well, and my pants fit a little less snug now! Ive got that extra room in the front where my testicles used to be! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img] [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Very good Monster. And you are DEAD FUCKING on with using the "I'm a dumb person" route with the docs. One thing I might add, if you can get it, is an ultra sound of your heart. Checks your valves and such. I've been on since Jan myself and due for a check up. Right now I'm on the down side only taking 500mg of aura and 150 deca. Will flopp over to winny here in a week and then I will just have to play it by ear, what with the baby and all.
