Question: My first question on this forum was in concern about my low appetite. You, somehow, just knew what was going on. (I'll always remember you for that).
When on cycle, my appetite takes a vacation. It just leaves. The thought of food makes me gag. It is like an act of congress to even force down a shake. I know orals can cause this effect but orals aren't involved here. I have read other threads on this subject but the solutions as to how to conquer the problem just don't seem to be there. 500mg test cyp and 400mg of equi a week is all that's being used. Been going 5 weeks. The first 2 weeks appetite was great. I know there are a lot of possible factors that can be in the mix here. I have not tried digestive enzymes yet. I have been using prebiotics and Periactin, ciproheptadine however. Any ideas on what or how to stimulate an appetite will be appreciated.
Your reply:
"a sick body will not yield an appetite."
"i have a feeling that your body is under too much stress right now from your steroid cycle."
This answer to me made total sense. At that point, I did a liver detox. I dropped my test to 200mg/week. Began drinking 50% more water. It did help. But the cycle stress is something I'm not familiar with.
Dave Polumbo has a Youtube segment about body toxicity but doesn't cover cycle stress or toxicity. Plus, he is all over the board about what to do for toxicity.
Can you guys put some understanding into what causes the stress, why it happens, what are short and long term effects of the stress. What to use or supplement with in attempt to de-stress the body and duration of treatment.
