**Marcus's HIT Dungeon**

[NACH3]

Good luck NACH.. What a pain.

Thx Igi! First time w/an infection from AAS! Real PITA!

[Hazard]

Thx guys - hats the ticket...

Haz the only reason I said staff - was b/c I've had mrsa and am a carrier - but also allergic to sulfalamides to which bactrum is usually prescribed(or ciro(?) it starts w/a C is very powerful) & am allergic - Clendomyiacin or vancomyiacin works great!

The rash has reduced very much so over night, still there but much lighter(visibly) - no temp ATM either

Haz - what did you mean by telling them what happened - tell em I pinned lol
Well b12 I'll say

Right..... Don't offer up unnecessary info lol.

Your stuff with the crystals in it, have you tried running under hot water or warm oven? I had some stuff show up over the winter and a bunch of it was all crystallized.. A little time in a warm oven and then under hot water and it was gtg.

Ciprofloxacin? It's in the fluoroquinolone family, I think.

That's it AG - cipro! THat cleared my hernia opening that was open for 2 & 1/2 yrs... Thx

The post above - was supposed to say I can take Clendomyiacin and vanco and cipro - not bactrum or anything w/sulfalamides!

It was a tiny crystal on the side that never moved - the TNE was in MCT oil and EO! It was still in the vial after I finished it... It wasn't crashed at all just that one crystal - and it never moved - I didn't think I needed to re-heat it since I wasn't worried about .2ml if that

And haven't had any others w/any in it! And am done w/my TNE - as the deca is kicking - just hope I can get this under control in a short time

Sounds like that crystal in your TNE may not have been test, Nach? Hope you get the leg issue squared away. Usually if gear starts to crash, it all tends to shoot the crapper, not just one small portion of it. Just a thought.

I%m trying to recall the IV antibiotics I had to run for 12 weeks when I had staph in my blood. One of them was Nafcillin, can't recall the other. I do remember they had me on very high dosages of IV antibiotics via a pump I wore on my side. Had to have blood drawn for a hepatic panel weekly to make sure my liver wasn't getting hammered.

Kephlexin?!

That ^ and vancomyiacin was my main after surgery antibiotics... Along w/Clendomyiacin

I started thinking the same(new source too) he's local so I can get em

[kelkel]

Ive got polycythaemia and my haematocrit level is at the range were I could have a stroke. He's done an emergency referral and should be having a venesection. My creatinine and liver values are just out of range but suspects I may be dehydrated and my lifestyle could be to blame. My test levels are off the chart and he wanted me to stop my TRT for 4 weeks but hopefully I persuaded him not to but I am not to sure, I have to have my test levels done one week before my next injection. He had to examine me so when I took off my coat he's face changed. he also wouldn't give me my results he said don't worry about them they are very high and your RBC is at a very dangerous level of concern.

If it was that bad he would of told me to go to the hospital or I hope so.

Don't drink or smoke and workout lol last cycle was 500mgs and my bloods are fuked. Amazing !!

I would think if it were that bad he'd have done a blood draw right there or would have immediately sent you for one or more.
It's not abnormal for your creatine and liver values to be elevated. Side effect of muscle breakdown. Simply working out can elevate them for 7-10 days.
Hydrate!
Remember, as we age our systems change. What we used to handle without issue can change. Example would be estrogen. Some begin TRT and don't need an AI for years, then suddenly with no change in protocol they require one. Internal resets basically.
You'll be fine. Just need to get a handle on it and monitor it more closely in the future.

Kephlexin?!

No sir, not Keflex. I'm going to have to look through my files and check. It's amazing hiw much information I can forget.

If I can take a pint out tonight how much will be levels drop by? should I be in range from one pint saying that the fuker wont tell me. He's new and we haven't got a good relationship yet but shouldn't be that high otherwise he would of told me to go in but he did say its at stoke level.

[kelkel]

Probably 2-3 pts. If possible give a double red cell donation.

[clarky.]

Good luck nach let us know mate.

[marcus300]

2 pints ok will see how I go

[kelkel]

2 pints ok will see how I go

I didn't mean to drain 2 pints. I meant your hematocrit should drop by 2-3 points. Wanted to be clear.

[kelkel]

Yes I snore like a bear

Consider putting something under the legs at the head of your bed to elevate it about 2 inches. May help a bit.

Lol I thought you was trying to kill me xx

[NACH3]

Went to docs - got some Clendomyiacin -

Is there any reason I shouldnt w/o??

No, just not legs.

[NACH3]

No, just not legs.

Cool! I figured the leg part

Thx Kel

[Igifuno]

Good. Did your doc ask what happened or did you just offer the B12 info?

[Igifuno]

I can't sleep on my back anymore due to snoring... Either side or stomach for me.

[NACH3]

Good. Did your doc ask what happened or did you just offer the B12 info?

Offered b12 and it wasn't my regular dr which was s plus!

[Sfla80]

Did he confirm the infection?

Does that stop it completely?

I also talk shout and kick. Not good when Mrs Marcus is tiny

Appreciate all the positive reinforcement guys and girls. I post pics now and then for several reasons. It helps motivate me (selfish) and hopefully it helps motivate all my friends on this thread as well. Most important point if I can throw it out there, is that age doesn't matter. Progress can be made at any age. Yes, you have to adapt your training as you get older, improvise and get a little smarter as well. But it's not a bad thing which is not always easy with stubborn body builders.

All that said, if you make it a lifestyle, something positive and not a chore, you'll reap great rewards that will pay you back for a lifetime. Just don't rush things like so many young guys do. For me, and I've said this many, many times here, reducing the frequency of training, increasing the intensity (HIT) and increasing rest periods has done wonders for maintaining quality muscle as I've aged.

ps: Anyone know how to post a windows media player video here? I have one I can put up but it won't allow me to?


ps#2: My dog just came in while I was typing this and pooped on her pee pad. Brings you right back to reality....

Nice slippers. Bicep is huge, I need some of that.

Edit: looks like the pup is asking it's daddy if there's any poop on its butt.

[kelkel]

Don't hate the slippers.....

[Hazard]

It helps me..... Sleeping on my back makes it impossible for my fiancé to sleep.

[GirlyGymRat]

Hate the slippers. Don't hate the pooch.....

[GirlyGymRat]

Sleep apnea - I am not surprised the big guys have this. As you put on size, you could gain more tissue mass in mouth/throat which causes the sleep apnea (unless u have deviated septum also). This excess tissue can be removed with laser however as u gain weight, tissue size increases then sleep apnea may return.

[Igifuno]

Don't hate the slippers.....

Are those Uggs?

[Igifuno]

Pretty much, yes, unless I've had a drink or two, that's when Mrs. Igi sleeps in the guest room.

I'm allergic to beer (how awful is that). So if I have one, I get incredibly stuffed up and if I'm lucky enough to fall asleep, I'm pretty loud.

Otherwise sleeping on my stomach with a curled up pillow seems to do the trick for me.

[Igifuno]

Also, Mrs. Igi has been kind enough, on several such occasions, to video me snoring so I can see just how bad it is.

[GirlyGymRat]

NACH - med allergies are dangerous. I have a few that if given land me in hospital for 5-6 days. I have a few that are killer. I should keep a list in phone so that I can remember them!

Marcus. Hmmmm. When's the last time u had a vacation to decompress? Schedule one

[RaginCajun]

Thx guys - hats the ticket...

Haz the only reason I said staff - was b/c I've had mrsa and am a carrier - but also allergic to sulfalamides to which bactrum is usually prescribed(or ciro(?) it starts w/a C is very powerful) & am allergic - Clendomyiacin or vancomyiacin works great!

The rash has reduced very much so over night, still there but much lighter(visibly) - no temp ATM either

Haz - what did you mean by telling them what happened - tell em I pinned lol
Well b12 I'll say

staph (MRSA) is what i initially thought when you were describing it. i have had it a few times, sucks!

[kelkel]

Are those Uggs?

Negative. Walmart works just fine.

[Hazard]

Negative. Walmart works just fine.

I can't wear those..... Nor socks for that matter. My feet get so hot all the time. When I'm at home I'm barefoot.

My dad wears slippers..... His feet are cold all the time :-p
