My apologies for starting a new handle. I've been to this site many times and years ago, but it's been so long I forgot my previous name.
Six years ago, I was diagnosed with Lupus. For those unaware, Lupus is an immune deficiency disease that affects your joints, muscles, breathing, memory and in severe cases like mine, seizures.
I first noticed skin rashes, then I had bronchitis that wouldn't go away. I considered it an annoyance at first until my memory started to fade. I was at a toy store and couldn't remember why I was there. I called my wife who reminded me of our daughters upcoming birthday.
None of my Dr's took the time to view the whole picture and instead, treated my symptoms. By the time someone placed a name to my condition, I already preparing myself for death. I was too weak to get out of bed most days and when I did I was followed by extreme pain. I was only 35. To avoid upsetting my family, I increased my life insurance and made my own funeral arrangements.
While at another Dr. visit, I read in a magazine that cancer patients were using anabolic steroids to improve their quality of life. At that time, I had my primary physician and four specialists. Not a single one was willing to address my request. I tried to explain to them that I didn't want to compete in sports. I didn't care about my appearance. Still, any attempt to discuss it as an option was dismissed.
One day, while at the park with my family I watched my wife and daughter at the playground while I sat laboring for air on a park bench. I wasn't ready to let go.
I started researching steroids on my own and came across this site. Unfortunately, I lost money twice by thieves I met here, but the information I received was invaluable.
A long time member took me under his wing and recommended 250 mg's of testosterone enanthate per week to start. My second week, I increased to 500 mg's per week. By the middle of the third week, I was already beginning to notice differences. I actually wanted to get out of bed. I could walk across a room without losing my breath. I could pick my daughter above my head again. Her smile motivated me.
By the end of my 12th week, I was a new man. I was taking nightly walks with my family. I am now 39 and there are no signs that I ever had Lupus.
After my improvement, I went to each of my Dr's for my checkups. Each was astounded by my condition. I told each that I was self-medicating anabolic steroids and they all went into their speeches about how harmful they are. Before I left them all for the last time, I reminded them of my condition while they treated me. I gave them each a firm handshake and left knowing they were no longer needed.
That was three years ago. My life has completely changed. I have a new perspective. I don't take life for granted and I never let little things upset me. Life truly is too short and a blessing.
Thanks to this site and to all who offered sound advice. I can't thank you by name, but please know that I am a better husband, father and man because of you.
God bless.
