    High Red Blood Count

    Could I have a high red blood count off being on 1cc of test 400 for 6 weeks I am suffering from slightly blurred vision. While being on I drank Guiness pretty heavy for 3 weekends on a run.

    Being on anabolic steroids increase RBC. Could my RBC of gone above average after just 6 weeks ?

    Any help much appreciated as this is starting to do my nut in.

    Below is a link that states high RBC, can cause blurred vision.

    You should never drink alcohol while on a cycle. Your liver is already having an hard time... are you taking an AI?

    Have you planned mid-cycle bloods? Do you have any pre-cycle? What will your PCT be?

    Stupid as hell to get drunk while cycling, you must think steroids are something to joke around.

    How old are you??

    Post your bloodwork.

    I have ordered Estrogen, Looking at donating blood this week also. I have Nolvadex for PCT, I do not want to take Clomid. Again due to vision problems I am not taking a AI but can get Aromasin , do not want Arimadex again can cause vision problems in some.

    I was going to run a A.I right through but got advised to wait , I know people may not agree with this but alot say do not take one as its better to see how your body reacts to each drug then. I did research and made a decision to not.

    Yes. But its probably not that high yet, thats why im asking to post the full bloodwork so we can check it.

    Worse its probably the e2, the added alcohol and no AI make it much more dangerous.

    Make sure you drink 3 lts of water per day.

    I am drinking at least 3 liters of water. TBH I think my eyes may just be getting worse. They was 6/9 and ive had them checked this week and they are 6/12. Its just coincendental I on cycle. I am actually hoping it is high Estrogen because then I know theres a chance my vision may improve. Stupid I know

    I have ordered estrogen blood check, do I just need a FBC now or any others ?

    It has just came to my attention that I have been using saw palmetto while on cycle to block dht for my hair loss. I have read this sometimes causes blurry vision. I have stopped this immediately

    Donate blood immediately, or loose a liter some other way. You need to worry about clotting. And, exertion will put a tax on your heart while tries to push the thicker blood through your body. Probbly, your blood isn't thick enough to be the eason for your vision problems so, take a look at everything else. However, do not discount the strain that thicker blood will put on your heart. This can lead to chronic heart trouble or, more acutely, a clot. Google natural blood thinners.

    Yes it could go over average but u want that. Better pump. But 400 mg test for 6 weeks will not make it dangerous high unless you have abnormalities.

    Would my BP not be elevated if this was the case.

    Its even cheaper than, the NHS pays for it.

    Without bloodwork there's no way of knowing whats going on with your blood.

    The vision problem is probably unrelated to steroids , go to an eye specialist doctor (forgot the proper name lol). Only steroids/compounds that for sure mess with eyes are clomid and SARMs (andarine and ostarine).

    Ive ordered my FBC and Estrogen were they send you finger prick I should receive the finger pricks tomorrow . I will send back same day. I have already seen a opthamologist and they say my eye is ok. Seen a optician and he said they have gone from 69 to 6/12. They just do not feel right since being on, since the 4 th week. I just thought someone else might of had a problem with dry eye with steroids or blury vision with estrogen. I am also worried about doing PCT now with my vision problems already.

    Dont know what FBC is, but finger prick blood test will only give estimates, its not accurate. Go to your medical center and ask for a check up blood test cause you not feeling good, its FREE!!

    Has the ophtalmologist checked for glaucoma, intraocular pressure, etc? Dont know what 69 or 6/12 means.

    If you dont feel right just stop!

    FBC is same as CBC. Full blood count or Complete blood count. 6/9 to 6/12 means my vision has gone to next prescription Yes checked for glaucoma and pressure . Also abit concerned if I go GP he will check for low test and it will be rocket high. That would stay on record

    They will not check for testosterone , unless you beg for it. For CBC you need 3ml of blood, finger prick is not accurate.

    So what should I say when I go DR ? If I say blurry vision, he will say you have had your eyes tested. If I say dont feel right, he might check for hormones ?

    Like I said multiples times they dont check hormones. Even if they did you are not breaking any law, its not like in US, at most you get a lecture.
    Just say you want a check up, that you dont do bw in a long time, its not that hard m8.

    This is madness, I was just sitting there watching the TV and my eyes felt better. I went on computer to see if I could see better and I can. Bit confused here what the hell happened. But I am going to book any optician appointment soon. Hopefully it does not go back blurry I hope that Estrogen test comes tomorrow because it would be good to know if it high so it was that.
