The biggest danger is not knowing

GETTINGSTRONGER · 11-10-2009, 06:30 PM

Ok i've been reading these threads & posts from dif. people asking for help on there pct & gear use & theres no doubt that the info they get is very good. But im thinking that alot of people will not use the great info they are obtaining here. For one reason or another the dangers of gear use is very over looked by people that are starting out, the main goal in there heads is i wont to be hugh & i dont care. The sad part is that there are people that sell gear and dont care if you die or not.
When i was 20 years old i had been working out for 5 years, been working at it hard & my wt was only 155lbs. I had a buddy that had been working out for maybe 1-year & he had got "hugh". I started asking him how he was doing it! I didnt know it but this was a grave mistake. I started taking d-bol & a-bombs, (dont remember the dose) man i could feel the dif. seems like right away. As the months passed i would run out and my man was there to restock me. Before i knew it i was having great gains in strenth & man i looked good. Everything i was wonting was coming true for me
After about 6 months of taking the d & a combo i started to notice that i was getting very severe red bumps on my body, kinda looked like acne but bigger and very sore, ask my source about it and he assured me it was normal. Well a couple of months went by, the bumps were worse & i felt like i had the flu. I left my house for work one morning and could barely remember how to get there. When i walked in the door one of my coworkers ask me why i was so yellow, 20mins later i was being rushed to E.R.

Sir your liver is shutting down & we dont know why, this is the only thing the docs could tell me. My liver was not working properly & it was dumping all of the toxins into my body, this caused my kidneys not to function properly which caused me to have to were a cat(piss bag)for 3 weeks. I lost every ounce of muscle i had, I dropped down to 120lbs in 6 weeks. After many, many test including 2- liver byopps & 4 months of recovery i was back on my feet.
Its been about 16 years since i realized that there is a safe way and a un safe way to cycle gear, my only hope is that by posting this thread that it will help people to know that this stuff can be dangerous if not taking properly and from what im seeing on this forum the people care.
I can only hope you dont let this happen to you, lol

Good post.... Dbol and drol!?!? Omg! HPTA worst nightmare. Glad you learned from your mistakes.

**HawaiianPride.** · 11-10-2009, 06:42 PM

Sorry to hear that bro. Glad you made it out okay though.

lil_big_junior · 11-10-2009, 07:42 PM

Thx for the share bro...You should post your experience in a sticky...

Glad you're all well, and sorry you found out the hard way

HEINEKENBEERBOY · 11-10-2009, 07:44 PM

WoW! Ain't that somthing!

Good deal bro'. But I do agree with you on one factor. There is a lot of people coming on these forums now a days an d asking some really basic questions. Seems to me that there are a lot of rookies coming into the AAS lifestyle. Just hope that they understand that AAS is somthing you don't play with. I myself am fairly new to the game but I've learned alot over the years. Well glad to hear you made it out fine bro!

**ibanezman88** · 11-10-2009, 09:16 PM

six months of anadrol and dbol damn.

scary

**A-Ron21** · 11-10-2009, 09:27 PM

Holy moly man. I'm glad you are ok. Do you have to have regular checkups on your liver and kidney function from now on?? What did they do to bring back your testosterone production??

Good Q's bro it would be very wise to keep regular checkups even though this issue was all settled in the past.

For a couple of years after, I was getting my liver chked through blood test once every 2-3 months. Now i go every year unless i feel funny, than i will ask my doc. to chk it. I have keep normal liver levels since i recovered. They said i was very lucky to recover from chemical induced failure. As for the kidneys, no trouble since cat. was tookout. To be totally honest i dont think they did anything for the test levels, there was so much going on, I do know that i did not take any oral anything for over 4 months(docs scared liver would relapse)and dif. would remember if i took shots. But you know in 91-92 i dont think the concern from docs was there like it is now.

To all that has posted so far, thanks for the kind words and good will towards this thread. It took alot for me to post this story, and if it helps one person to realize that there is right & a wrong way to cycle than i will be very happy. One thing that i rec. to you guys, reach over your left shoulder and give yourself a pat on the back, because if we will let you, i know you will help anyone that needs it. lol

insane glad you are OK thanks for sharing

joewho · 11-12-2009, 06:30 PM

new guy here. Great post. I would hope that it could get to more young people considering gear

lil_big_junior · 11-12-2009, 08:11 PM

That's one of the biggest subjects everywhere man. Things will never change, there are more young guys getting into lifting now, many will want to jump straight on the gear without knowing anything bout them...And it's so frustrating...

Welcome to the Dungeon bro

Welcome to the Dungeon bro

I totally agree l.b.j. and just like in my case, there is usually someone there to get it for them. These "sources" are the ones that dont have clue and are out just for the money. In my eyes these are the f**king idiots that give this sport & lifestyle a bad name.

StoneMan · 11-14-2009, 04:51 PM

Awesome post GS. I always wonder about gear, specifically how it affects the liver. When I got enrolled into alcohol abuse and anger manangement classes before I got out of the Army, I had blood samples and what not taken. I forget the medical terms, but in the "long range" portion of the liver test, I had all the makings of a classic alcoholics liver. I went from binge drinking EVERY weekend, to a few beers with the boys every 2-3 months. Guess what I'm saying is, I fear that putting AAS into my liver would be the straw that broke the camel's back.

**HawaiianPride.** · 11-14-2009, 04:53 PM

Steroids that are administered orally are the ones that are harmful to your liver. Not injectables.
