Only made it 19 days on hdrol cycle...sick feeling?

First 2 weeks went fine at 50 mg. No sides outside of back pumps that taurine handled fine. Started week 3 at 75mg...nothing terrible for the first 4 days outside of increasingly worse back pumps. Back pumps were horrid on day 5 at 75mg (friday) and the 7g of taurine I took with me to work (sedentary job with some walking) didn't help subside it.

Decide I was going to go back to 50mg. Wake-up on Saturday and take 25mg right away. Lower part of the middle of the back on the right side had an ache that felt like a mix between a strain and back pumps (still hasn't improved so assumed it to be a strain possibly from trying to stretch to make the lower back feel better on friday). Also felt sick on Saturday morning...flu like without a fever and have had constipation issues since Saturday as well. Thought maybe the sick feeling was due to hormones changes.

Didn't take any more hdrol outside of the 25mg Saturday morning and started with pct assist, inhibit e, and zma on Sunday. The sick feeling still hasn't really subsided and appetite is almost non-existent.

Is this type of thing normal in some at the higher dose and how long into the pct will this sick feeling last?

thanks for any help/suggestions.

Why would start pct already? how do you know it is the hdrol thats causing it? Maybe you really do have the flu... I would give it a couple more days and see how you feel. If you get worse, go see a doctor and let him know whats going on.
 
Guess starting the pct was a bit of a knee-jerk/better off safe reaction after still feeling sick the next day. Thought it was the hdrol due to the sides the day before and the lack of fever along with being backed up, opposite of anytime I get the flu. Woke up this morning and back pain on the right side was gone (although it did bother me through the night) as well as the sickness feeling being gone. Appetite is back as well as the usual back pumps. Probably just jumped the gun being my first ph.

Live and learn right? :) You are fking with your hormones. This is serious stuff. Your body will react in unpredictable ways. The best you can do is take your support supplements and hope that they help and power through the cycle.
 
How do you know you didn't pick up a cold or a virus of some sort? I've suffered the back pumps exactly the same as you've described, but not the nausea. To me it sounds like you've picked up an infection of some sort that has just coincided with your H-drol run.
 
True that primal. Learning experience for sure.

Saggy it very well could have been. Just didn't have the usual runny nose or congestion/fever to go along with it. Temp was never above 97.4 when taken with an oral thermometer so that gave me the knee-jerk reaction with how bad I felt overall. BP was slightly high which always gives me an overheating feeling so that could have attributed a little as well (was taking cycle support as well as 500mg-1g hawthorn per day). Probably going to give it another go at 50mg all the way through sometime next year.
 
It could just be the feeling of headaches combined with back pumps that make you feel sick.

Or it could be methyl flu. All methlys break down your liver and cause your immune system to damage temporarily which allows for a virus to host in your body. It is a very common side effect on cycle and after cycle that most people don't want to address/ acknowledge because their in denial that this could actually damage your body. It is almost unavoidable regardless of how many milk thistle pills you pop. Halodrol is no exception.

This why I will never use them again. Stick to progestins unless you're gyno sensitive or try naturally occuring compunds next time.
