Blood test

[scoop44]

I've been really tired. Sleeping 14-15 hours/day. missing workouts. So, I went to the doctor. She took blood, testing the thyroid. T4, TSH. All good. My epo is elevated. She thinks I may have been exposed to a virus. BTW, my red blood cell count is up... probably due to the boldenone? I'm on test e and bold, 600/600 mg per week. Everything else is normal. Blood presure, cholestorol, etc... I get more blood taken monday morning in an effort to isolate the virus. In the mean time, I'm drinking plenty of water and sleeping my ass off...

I hope you feel better soon, and yeah most any steroid can elevate rbc count over time (some moreso than others). Were you honest with your doctor about your ped use?

 

[dylangemelli]

yes, eq is known for increasing rbc... thats the most common side effect with it, and thats why its important to donate blood

Did you get a script for anti-biotics?

all american doctors will do is run tests on you to run up your bill. they aren't going to solve this issue man. you might have to go to 20 different doctors

also just because she ran the tests SHE WANTED TO RUN doesn't mean you are g2g. that is ridiculously ignorant on her part and that is how they misdiagnose people. watch out for the incoming 'your kidney's are bad' opinion since weight lifters always have elevated #'s since we are constantly breaking down muscle

we really don't know if any of this is related to your steroid use or not, obviously the high RBC's is cause of EQ, but maybe your body has simply had enough of the gear and needs a break

Yes, EQ is one of the "worst" when it comes to increasing your red blood cell count so regular donation is a must while running it.
I hope there is nothing too severe going on in your body and I want to wish you a speedy recovery.

You should be doing regular blood donations. Actually anyone that cycles should be

Do you have a question?
