test flu?
ad
I've been running sust 300 EOD for 17 days now... started noticing it kick in the past few days... small strength gains, slightly hornier, etc... also have been getting chills and feeling tired on and off... then woke up today feeling like shit with sore throat, runny nose, no energy. I am assuming this is test flu? Anybody have experience with this and what I can do to get rid of it? I was still planning on hitting chest and cardio tomorrow should I wait?

AnonAnytime I pin sustanon, I get the flu symptoms almost 24 hrs later. What I've found to be the quickest remedy for me is a standard dose of tylenol or OTC sinus/cold medicine. The majority of the symptoms associated; i.e., aches, weakness, fever; are spawned from the fever itself. Check the fever, and you'll notice them subside within an hour or so. At least that's how my body reacts. If you get coughing, on the other hand, tylenol won't help that. Either have to deal with it for the next day or try the cold meds. Or, put yourself on the regimen cdaddy posted to safeguard against it.
cdaddy7My OTC remedy is Vitamin C 4000mg in two split doses (2000mg in AM , 2000mg in PM) a day and Zinc 100mg in two split doses (50mg in AM, 50mg in PM) for a week and drop the dosages in half until symptoms subside. Drink plenty of water to ensure hydration which will also aid in recovery. Uncle GS9902 used this magical potion and loved it....just ask him....it works
Cdaddy i totally used that same regiment and it did wonders during my test flu but unfortunately my most recent cycle I'm on i think i just got the real dam flu and had to go to the hospital and get an IV put in me cuz i couldnt hold down water. I still got by boy to bring my gear so i could still keep my ED Pins lol. Also for some members who are just starting their cycle now it is flu season so you could have just caught the real flu and not the test flu.
cdaddy7It is a great remedy, but correct it is the flu season and its important to get vaccinated for the flu....remember that the flu shot you get is not the flu strain for this year, but last year's strain...it mutates and it's different...it will help set up a line of defense for the strain.....REMEMBER that your endocrine is up so your immune system is down which means it's weaker and susceptible....so taking the flu shot with a low immune system can actually give u the full blown flu bc u are inoculated by a live virus....the vit/min OTC regimen will help strengthen your immune system so that you don't have that happen to you
thanks bros i'm thinking it is an actual cold or sinus infection. i'm gonna take some ephedrine and some antibiotics and see if that helps. i guess the sus fucking with my immune system.
I got achy feeling and felt like my head would spinn when i turned it. IT felt exacly like a flu coming on. It hit me the first few days after a prop shot. It would last for the day. It finaly stopped. Just this past week I had a sore throut and body aches it went away. That was a bad cold. Then a few days later. I started shivering with chills horibble body aches, head spinning but no sore through, no runny nose, no coughing no sneezing. It happend two days after switching too a new ugl. I had some left over amoxacilian and took it and it went away in like two days. I was so eiger to pinn this new ugl that I reused one of my pinns. I thought I had steralized it but apparently not. I have since bought more pinns..lol lesson learned.
hmm,,i only got the test flu with some test like sususton..but the cold symptoms constist with muscle aches and sorenes like when you get the first stage of the flu,last around 1-3 days and gone...the sore throat,runny nose tells me you might have caught the real flu or have a small virus...seems to me the immune systems is affected alittle bit by fogein substance like test,etc entering the body at first with new cycles until you get used to it..everbody is different bro,,this is what happens to me though sometimes.
Yeah bro it can happen. All my cycles that i have done in past all consisted of st8 up sus
Couple times i felt like that for day or so it goes away trust me even one time i had a fever all night its your body reacting to what your putting in it! Relax bro youll be fine. You dont have the normal flu. When it passes youll feel great!
Seems like it happens alot with sus.
could be just the flu. Here's something i found on the subject
a natural defense mechanism - to the sudden increase in exogenous hormone levels. Its the body's way of trying to "flush" out the foreign entity it perceives is there (just as it does w/ a flu virus). There has also been some connection between high BA content and immune response. think the combination of sudden increased hormone levels and a foreign substance being injected into the muscle can cause these symptoms. Some people are sensitive, some arent. Certain people don’t experience it at all and some might just get mild chills (low grade fever) or a runny nose for a few days and not even take much note of it.
etiocholanolone represents only about 20% of the metabolites of testosterone in people. Maybe folks who experience this reaction to testosteone have particularly high levels of 17 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, the enzyme that converts testosterone into etiocholanolone. Or an isoform of the enzyme that makes the conversion more efficient.
Etiocholanolone is believed to produce fever and flu-like aches and pains because it induces the systemic release of Interleukin-1, a powerful proinflammatory cytokine:

Anonthat's good stuff, bro
AnonEtiocholanone is a pyrogen and elevations in circulatory levels are associated with feverish effects. Propionate as we know is a fast acting ester resulting in a rapid elevation in testosterone and thus etiocholanone levels. It's certainly possible that this rapid increase results in some users experiencing flu-like symptoms during the early stages of a cycle.
