FLU on week 6 of cycle...need some advice

**playboy2005** · 05-25-2005, 11:52 AM

I have a high temp, a massive headache and I'm extremely tired. I think i have gotten the flu.

Can you get the flu from your gear. Currently taking Sus250.

Also, should i just rest and get better or hit the gym and stay on track.

thanks

ahhh good old sust/test flu...havent experienced it myself, but a good friend of mine had about the same thing happen as u did. he kept going and it went away really quick, but im not saying thats the right thing to do. The only advice i can offer you is that its fairly common.

Is there really such a thing a TEST FLU?

just an opinion, but I herd that the "flu" dont last too long. And if it takes 4-5 weeks for some test to kick in, maybe that could be a sign that it is kickin in and once ur body accepts it, then the feelin of the "flu" leaves. Is that stupid or does it make sense???

To answer the first question. Yes there is Test Flu. Not everybody gets it though. Just wait it out it should pass in a day or so. Keep doin your workouts. It will help. If your temp spikes high or if it lasts longer than 2 days see the Doc.

yes definitely test flu, i always call it the sust flu though cause most guys i know are on sust when they get it.

It's not the flu really, not a viral infection of any kind. It's called Serum Sickness, and it's a hypersensitivity reaction by your immune system to a foreign substance. It happens when your immune system incorrectly identifies a protein (or component of the hormone) as potentially harmful. Your immune system tries to develop antibodies to fight this "harmful" protein, and these are deposited in various tissues, which then cause the symptoms of the flu. It's a bit more complex than that, but that is basically what is happening.
