Lab Results Come Out Bad.. Help Please!

[MadeInCanada]

Hey guys! I screwed up and took some prohormones in the past, including a cycle of s-drol. I know Im young and I ****ed up bad. I went to an endocrinologist because since I stopped I noticed growth in gyno and my libido has been shattered.

Its been about 2 months since Ive stopped prohormones and Ive noticed a gradual increase in my libido over time... also, my gyno seems to be shrinking But I still wasnt happy with where my libido was at and I was nervous that my levels wouldnt return to normal so I went to my endocrinologist (who I believe doesnt know too much because she didnt even know what a prohormone was).

Anyways I just got the call that my test and estrogen levels are normal:
FREE TEST 11.4 (she said normal for my age is 9.3-26.5)
TOTAL TEST 346 (she said normal was 241-827)

But, she said my liver was 400... where normal is 30. So my liver is extremely abnormal. I go in tomorrow for more tests and I have an ultrasound on the 28th.


Is this normal for someone coming off a steroid, and will it regulate? Keep in mind I did drink alcohol during my cycle... and if it means anything, about 2 weeks ago I had friends down for a week stay, and we got **** faced the entire week.


Some insights, comments or support is greatly appreciated. I'm ****ting bricks here.

Wow ALT or AST at 400? After two months they are still extremely elevated. That could be an indication of serious pathology. Whilst your test levels are in the normal range, they are extremely low.

P.S: You need to stay away from anabolic steroids.

Thanks. Not sure what pathology is, but is this something you think that should be fixable (assuming this is related to anabolics).

Pathology is a manifestation of abnormalities leading to disease. I would suggest you not consume anything which can be detrimental to your liver.

Hmm, one thing Im thinking is for the past month Ive been taking creatine monohydrate. And I believe more than the suggested dosage.

I have a feeling this had a big part to do with it.

Wrong. Excess creatine will be metabolized and excreted. I'm willing to bet it's your untimely decisions to drink alcohol excessively while consuming a hepatotoxic anabolic steroid.

Are you seriously that clueless? You're failing at life.

I appreciate the help, not the ignorant comments. If I wanted those I would go to bodybuilding.com. If you would read my above posts, I did NOT drink excessively while on an anabolic steroid. It was more like 2-3 beers a week.

The week where my friends came down was a time when I was on absolutely nothing at all.

Either way, I know I screwed up and that's why I'm asking for help.

Regardless of the fact, you know that your body doesn't instantly heal once you cease the anabolic steroids, right? My posts are far from ignorant, trust that. Finally, you should consult a medical professional instead of asking for advice on a forum such as this in which ~99.9% of the members are probably not qualified to give such advice.

did you take any support supplements on your cycle? Milk thistle? i would chill out on anything that will put stress on your liver. ****, if I were YOU i would be elbow deep in a stack of med books... you should try and figure this out before your next appointment... hope youre ok.

Just because that endo does not know what a proh is does not eliminate her from qualification.

Usually, if she/he cannot figure, they will send to another specialist to look at. Your test levels are on the poor side of being normal, however, what were your numbers before you did the cycles? By knowing these, you can tell if the proh had any major effects or affected your organs.

Seek medical advice. if you do not think that the endo is qualified then seek another. Also, you could have gone to a gp and he/she would have sent your results to a specialist so that they can look into the matter more indepth.

At this point seeking a qualified practitioner is your best start.

Thanks guys. Ive gone and done my tests. Im currently getting alot more work done on my liver to seek the problem. I should know by tomorrow what is wrong from all the blood work I did.

In terms of the test, I know its low, but I feel like it has been slowly rising since Ive been off prohormones (just by self-monitoring how my libido is). Unfortunately I have nothing to compare to, so Ill go do another testosterone exam in a month.

You should find comparable lab results showing how low your test is with the age group you're in. Hopefully, she can prescribe a treatment for it.

what was it?

 

[MC Gun]

how much water are you drinking add a few gallons to flush your liver and kidneys everyday and levels should come down unless you have a liver disease like Hepatitis.

I get my lab results today.



Ill let you all know. And I already drink a solid gallon every day, no exceptions. Which definitely worries me.

Plus, back in July I had my Liver checked and they said it was perfectly healthy. Now it's September, and Im terrified. lol

Hey guys. I just got off the phone with my endocronoligist. My liver has greatly improved She said a normal liver is around 30 (whatever that means), and I was at 470 (which is extremely abnormal). It's been about a week since then and my liver has gone down to 40. So it's definitely improving and almost back to normality. It looks as if I HAD hepatitis B, which my body has fought against. I did an ultrasound today so I should know more soon, but things are definitely positive and it looks like my liver is going to be A-OK lol.... Consider this my wakeup call.






Also, quick thing Ive noticed since Ive been clean of any supplements at all. Ive never been prone to acne or anythinhg, but when Im on a prohormone I tend to get some acne on my back and some on my face. Its been about a month since Ive been totally clean of prohormones and my back acne seems to be getting worse, my face has broken out a bit and I even see blackheads on my shoulders. My mom thinks it's because my body is cleansing itself and releasing itself of all the **** and toxins I put in my body from the stuff I was using. Does that make sense at all?

I'm glad to see that you're liver is making it back to normal. Did they have you taking anything to help reverse the damage during this time?

The acne is normal considering that you did have breakouts during cycle. Your pores are still processing out all the oil and buildup that had already started but could not be seen.

Thanks and yea... they didnt give me anything. My liver basically just fixed itself. And my doctor told me the Hepatitis B is from bodily fluid exchange. So I guess this means it wasn't sdrol related....... and I should probably start wearing condoms.
