    When did test flu hit and how did you deal with it?

    Hi,
    Just wondering in what week of your cycle did test flu hit you? How long did it last? and did you do/take anything in particular to help it pass?

    Cheers

    Day/Nyquil combo.......the ones that come together in the same package...it definitely helped out a lot, along with plenty of rest and food..

    short ester test about day 3-7, long ester test about the start of week 4 or 5. I just stick it out, never taken any meds for it.

    I'd only get a test flu with prop. That was before I started making my own. Perhaps it was the amount of BA that was giving me the flu like symptoms. I've been homebrewing for a almost two years now, and the test flu comes around in the begining of any cycle for me now, but it only last about a week, maybe two but never longer then that. I never took anything for it either, because it was more a head flu, never did I get achy or anything of the like that is associated with the flu.

    No gear is 100% pure. The impurities in it cause your bodies defenses to attack the invaders causing a slight fever, headache, basic flu symptoms. It is your bodies way of fighting off the impurities in the gear. QV products I have been told cause pretty bad flu

    In most cases it has nothing to do with the BC in the gear.. it's the gear itself. Your body is reacting to a foriegn substance invading your bady..causing your BP to go up, heart rate to increase, and blood level become abnormal... these are all signs of infection to your body.... How does the doc know when you are sick.. they pull a blood test and test your count... It's the juice and they only thing you can do is block the pain.. think about it.. if you can make it go away then it would be killing the gear rending it useless... You can take Milk thistle to block the toxins from processing in the liver.. but there goes your gear... I was getting it from sust.. was only shooting 2 times a week... tried eod no change...was getting sick every wed for like 7 hours.. i switched to once a week and i am getting great gains and no sick... did the same on last cycle last year so I went to 1 shot a week with great returns! IMO!!!

    What about British Dragon. Does their gear cause a lot of flu?

    "You can take Milk thistle to block the toxins from processing in the liver.. but there goes your gear" (beachbum28 quote)

    so if milk thistle kills yer gear why are people so often encouraged to take it while on?
