Hey Jon, just curious, what problems (or negative reactions) do you experience?
This happened both on roids and Ph's, taken from the MOD forum from 2 months ago so its a bit outdated.....
So it was Sunday morning, My g/f was out visiting me in santa barbara. It was about 10 oclock and she kept trying to wake me up, but me worn out from the night before of having cialis wanted to sleep. So i told her to just go and eat breakfast and wake me up when she was done. So she comes in and gets me and i throw on some pants chew my IP winny, pop a few r-ala, and down it w/ a v12 mixed in milk and we head out to state street. Basically state street is an outdoor mall, about 2 miles long just lined with stores.
So we walk around for a good 30 min and i start feeling dizzy as hell, so i'm like hey we gotta sit down, i'm feelin like ****. So we sit down for a good 15-20 min, and i start feeling SLIGHTLY better, and i'm like "i'm starved, lets go back home and find something to eat, i feel like total ****" So we start walking back and i make it a good maybe 15 steps then i start to get all dizzy and start losing my balance so i tell my girlfriend "hey we need to find a spot to sit, hold on to me, i can't walk straight" and next thing i know i wake up in the ER room =(
apparently i had passed out, and they had run all kinds of tests on me. Everything came back normal except my blood sugar level, normal range was 75 to 120, i had come back as a 29 so they gave me a glucose shot, and when i woke up i was at a 63. The released me about 2 hours after i woke up and said i needed to go home and rest and eat some food. Told me no meds were required but i needed to come off of any drugs i was on.
I'm totally fine now, my girlfriend is still scared half to death. So anyways i've been reading about this stuff, and obviously it was real stupid of me not to have eaten anything that morning, but then i began to think about my other cycles i had been on when i had come off because i started constantly feeling dizzy and had blurred vision etc etc. Usually this started happening every single time it came around week 8 or 9 of a cycle for my last 4 cycles so i'd always come off. As a lot of you know i had recently adopted 3-4 weekers for good because of these problems i experienced w/ the longer cycles. As i researched low blood sugar symptoms further, i found out that these were the exact symptoms i'd have every cycle which included:
-Sweating (almost always present). Check for sweating on the back of your neck at your hairline.
-Nervousness, shakiness, and weakness.
-Extreme hunger and slight nausea.
-Dizziness and headache.
-Blurred vision.
-A fast heartbeat and feeling anxious.
I realized that on every single one of my last 3-4 cycles prior to this one which i had ended around week 8-10 i had started experiencing every single one of those symptoms, but this past cycle i only made 3 weeks, that day i went to the hospital was actually my last day on cycle. Now i know this has partly due to the fact low blood sugar is caused by not eating enough, exercizing more freq, etc which seems to be the cause here, but i noticed that these symptoms always happened when i was on cycle, and only when i was on cycle.
Never did slin, but i know R-ALA causes blood sugar levels to decrease. Also may have been caused by the v12 shake? As i was researching this stuck out to me "Sugar is very rapidly absorbed into the blood stream. This rapid rise in the sugar level results in the over-secretion of insulin by the pancreas. The responsibility of insulin is to decrease the blood sugar level when it is too high. An over-secretion of insulin brings the sugar level down too fast and too low. Excess insulin also robs glucose from tissues, such as the brain, resulting in any of the numerous symptoms associated with low blood sugar, or hypoglycemia." And we all know how much sugar v12 has.
I haven't even begun to research if anti-e's or anything like that would have any sort of effect, but i read a few places which said winny could also lower blood sugar levels, but nothing too concrete looked more like warning labels.
