So just to start out, I fully understand the consequences of letting your hematocrit and RBC levels get out of control. This problem can lead to heart attack, stroke, etc. I also understand that these things can kill you. So IMO this is the scariest potential side of AAS use out there (prostate health is of concern too, but thats a topic for a different thread). I mean if I quit getting boners, life will suck for a little bit, but I'm still alive and my dick will eventually get hard again. If i lose some of my hair I can shave head. Medically speaking though, theres just no way to fix dead. Now I know you can donate blood regularly to help keep these levels down, but I don't seem to see a whole lot of any other advice out there. So outside of prescription meds and Dr. visits, that can get very spendy. What else could be done to keep your blood levels in check? The first thing that occurred to me was low dose aspirin. Does anyone think this is a valid form of control? If it is, what else should be considered incorporating an aspirin regimen into an AAS cycle? Thanks for responses guys.
