Test flu.

Hi guys 4 weeks into my first cycle test e and (Dbol 2 weeks).
Everything is going really well last week I started to feel a lot more stronger and was really feeling the effects.
My last jab was Wednesday then Friday evening I got a severe case of the flu woke up this morning and have been in bed all day will headache, aces and pains. No chance I could go gym. It feels like a quite harsh flu.
I have been taking vitamin c and drinking as much water as I can. Still feel bad with the aces and pains.
My questions is should I stop my cycle or should I carry on I have my next injection tomorrow.
Thanks guys.

I had this on my first cycle of Test E. Got a fever and chills. Felt like death. Lasted about a week and felt a bit lethargic for about another week. It was mid summer so not flu season so I chalked it up to test flu and body reacting to the first time injecting large doses of hormones into my body. It's started week 3 for me. I pushed on through and by the end of week 5 I was 100% and had a great rest of my first cycle with excellent results. I agree with suggestions below. Try and ride it out but if you don't come right your body may be reacting for some reason and it may be time to rethink. Good luck fella.
Did you use AI?
No I didn't need to at 500mg per week. Blood pulled week 5 confirmed that. Think my estro was around 35 - 40 which was fine with me for to add some mass.
Edit: as you're going into week 5 you should be pulling bloods anyway to compare to baseline -I assume you have one? So make sure they do a full blood count as this may show some anomalies that are indicative of infection. I see you're running dbol (on a first cycle too which I wouldn't have recommended) and no AI so it's important for you to now where your estro is sitting at. Could be high leading to other unrelated issues. Also check your liver function and renal panel/electrolytes. If the latter are out of whack that can lead to all sorts of weird symptoms including flu like symptoms. Look at sodium levels, potassium levels and calcium.
Keep us posted any good luck.
Had this happen to me first cycle. I had to stop because my fever flared up twice in two weeks each time after a pin. If you don't have a fever you don't have the flu. If it's a low grade fever and goes away in a few days I wouldn't worry about it since it's flu season anyways and you may have gotten it anywhere. When is your next injection? I'm assuming Monday if that's the case you should be feeling better by then if not skip the inject until you do and pin again. If you flare up again, i'd reconsider the cycle altogether. Get on pct in two weeks from last pin and call it a day.
My pin is set for today now. My temperature has been through the roof I literally had to have a jug of water every 30 mins a was sweating everything out so much. I woke up this morning feeling fine though. It's crazy as it just hit me all of a sudden for 2 days now it's gone as fast as it came.
You got test flu most likely but I'd be running arimidex at .5od now. Your next shot will help you figure out what you had. Hopefully all goes well from here on out but not having an ai on hand can lead to trouble. If you get estro gyno you'll not have anything to stop or diminish it.
I'm assuming this is your 1st cycle? What are you using for an ai?
Crashed estro could feel like that too... I only get test flu from prop in gso, but not mct and bold ace.. but for me the dead giveaway that it's flu is the chills, especially at night when I just can't get warm.
Most importantly, like Rusty suggested check the injection site!
Yes and I don't have any AI was told I didn't need it what would you suggest I get?
Honestly no one on here is going to be able to tell you how much ai you need. You are at the perfect time in your cycle to get bloods done. I would go get them done within a week or so and come back here and post them. Then we can help you with your ai dose. Meanwhile go get some ai. I prefer aromasin, but Arimidex will work as well.
I will get both ordered tonight.
Thanks
RustyhookerHow's the injection site?
Old deal I tried for chem flu was zinc, vit c 500 and b500. Same ingredients in emergenC.
Injection site is fine no problem with that at all.
4 weeks into a longer ester is when they start to work within your system so could be a case of test flu ...try and hide it out and see what happens and if it gets to bad then stop your cycle and 10 days after your last injection start a basic PCT....4 to 5 weeks into a cycle could shut you down and the last thing you want is a crash.
Good luck
is that BF% in your profile correct?
Nope that's wrong I had it checked a week or so ago it came out at 15%
