Anabolic flu

[bigrobbierob]

So what exactly causes it? It seems quite common since many of use seem to "get sick" when on cycle.

I tend to get sinus problems, scratchy throat, body aches, and feel like I've been chewed up and spat out...but I get huge

Is it just the bodies reaction to the "foreign chemicals" (for lack of better term)? Or is the body strained from the anabolic's therefore more prone to illness from outside sources?

are you talking about injections (prop flu) or orals?

I've heard its not from the actual anabolics, but from the solvents in it. Might be just a myth though.

Well, in my instance I'm taking Mdrol.

I have noticed in several logs people "get sick" in the midst of PH/PS cycles. I figured it was the same issues I have.

I think there's a few factors and i don't know what all of them are, I think that one of them is a decrease in immune system strength resulting from low estrogen levels. I think a factor with gear is the body's reaction to it, esp. if it isn't 100% sterile.

Yes, steroids in general reduce the effectiveness of your immune system temporarily, i believe
