I concur. Keep the info coming!

yo ageless, execellent work. you look a little like Jack Lelane

[AGELESS]

First off, Thank you for all the support and concern in the past. I've shared some pics and expressed how I feel about H.R.T.

You all know how I feel, HRT is a must for a better quality of life...not just bodybuilding.

Now I have a question!
I was told a few years back that I have polycythemia vera. Maybe it was inheridated and maybe from exogenious testosterone...who knows.

I just know I make too many red blood cells. I was told by one DR that my cells dont carry enough oxygen - the body compensates by making more.
I check my hematicrit every two weeks, and they draw 500 CC when it reaches 45 (approx every month)

Please speculate...IGF-1L3 even HGH, for that matter and mix that with polycythemia vera.

Isnt polycythemica a type of blood cancer??

Last December I ran a 25 day kit...40 MCG per day...IGF-1L3, now Im asking myself. ("what in the hell have I done")

Hematicrit is UP - Blood pressure is average 155/85
cardio is almost impossible, ten reps of any set and Im huffin & puffin. 5 mins at 2.5 mph on treadmill and my legs are ready to fall off. (just started walking cardio last week)


you know...I dont hear much about older bodybuilders watching their red blood cells. If it gets too high its like pumping mud instead of blood....thats not good.

Here I go again..rambling on and on..better stop for now.

If I've made a mistake to try IGF-1L3, and aggravated my polycythemia vera - just think how many rep points I'm gonna lose now!!!

hey when we going to see new pics ? with your polycythemia ? i know they give new borns albumin to dilute the red bld cells . also u must watch for stroke due to the high red cell count ,some take asprin but u will have to ask dr . most guys are ok with treatment like the removing of 1 unit of bld weekly ,but some can get acute myelogenous leukemia .with any condition using other types of drugs is always not a good idea .

Did you tell your doctor about this?

[AGELESS]

When I put this on "Anabolicminds" I knew the best of the best minds are here to help and advise me. (and tell me I am a dumb ****) LOL

My main concern is all my brothers that do cycles or are on testosterone for the rest of their lives. (it can raise red blood cells)

Last year I was out of town and met a 72 yr old man at the local gym who had just had his blood work done. We talked a while (I love to talk) and he showed me his blood profile. He said his DR liked the numbers for a 72 yr old.

One thing that screamed out at me was his "hematacrit" was "68"

He called me a month or so later and told me thank you, and that I probably saved his life. (doctors are not all perfect)

We usually catch the big mistakes in life...its those little screw ups that we dont see til its too late that haunt us forever. (IGF-1L3 and polycythemia - what was I thinking )

Relax my man. The changes brought about by IGF-1L3 aren't going to be permanent. If it is responsible for the higher RBC this shouldn't be sustained...it may take the good part of this year to see the number come down. You'll just have to take all the necessary precautions until than...that's all.

So put your feet up, get your shoulders rubbed and don't be so ****ing hard on yourself.

You talkin to me.


You talkin to me punk!


Don't make me go Captain Morgan on your scrawny ass.

[AGELESS]

Thanks....I needed that!

I could only see the worst scenario.
I had already sold my fishing gear, gave my dog away and told my young wife she could date...my god what have I done....

Sure hope I can get my dog back!!

Sweet Disclaimer Ageless!

I couldn't respond in the other thread because it got locked, but I'm glad you're using it. I know that this site is simply a parody site and noone is REALLY telling the truth here.... so it's good to see you letting us all know!

[AGELESS]

Thanks my friend...I appreciate your help and guidance. Your disclaimer is much better than the one I wrote. Mine had too many four letter words in it.

PS - Im still trying to get my dog back LOL

LOL... my Disclaimer has apparently taken off now, as I have counted at least 6 other people using it I hope more people use them so that I know they are merely posting in jest

[krenalor]

Finish workout around 4:30 including 20 min cardio

7:30 steak, rice,fried okra, corn & snow peas. with 2 large glasses of OJ.
after dinner 2 serving spoons of virgin olive oil. YUCK
Now Im on computer - probablly take 2 more spoonfulls of olive oil before bed -
it helps with acid reflux at night.
I know this sounds like a joke - maybe at my age I dont need all the protien.
I felt great all day.

My God I am ashamed of my eating habits. I wish I could say I use everything sponsors have to offer...but Im sad to say I dont. I know my honesty will cost me a ****load of Rep points, and I will catch holy hell from all you pro's.
All I will say is I will try hard to get back on track with a better plan.
