Question about Corticosteroids
ad
Doctor just gave me a prescription for corticosteroids and I am going to start having to get injections in my knee caps for Jumpers knee that is getting progressively worse.
Will this effect my AAS cycle, counteract and or cause aas to stop working?

You will have to watch your fluid volume closely
You will need to run blood work frequently
You need to up your water intake so your Body learns to hold less as it will know you will provide it enough natural hold less reserve
Lower your salt intake
^*
Then again any steroid user should do the above
The smart ones do!
I've had them bro. I had the epidural in my back a few times. They suck. There was a post a few months back with a good discussion on this. I might have started it. I know they mask the issue and don't help me at all
I have chondromalacia they called it runners knee is that the same thing? From my understanding corticosteroids are an exogenous source of cortisol and if that is correct it will effect it if it puts your cortisol levels above normal. Do not quote me on this as I'm not 100% sure I can do some more studying for ya.
Im sure they are pretty similar...And that's what I was thinking, if my cortisol raises, wont that basically jack my cycle up? I'll Check Nitti's thread tho
Us do some research as I have used prednisone for bad poison (not on cycle)ivy case and its used to suppress the immune system and raise cortisol to stop inflammation which will effect the purpose of tearing muscle and such. Plus cortisol eats muscle. But cycling slows down cortisol production so its hard to say.
Cortisol and Cortisone are identical. Typically endogenous is referred to as cortisol and exogenous is referred to as cortisone. Corticosteroids are a group of exogenous steroids that include natural and synthetic cortisone. For example a synthetic cortisone is prednisone. It's modified to have a longer half life than cortisone to reduce dosing frequency..
