the way it is

I've been searching for a while and well wanted to know if this happened to someone.

Just so you know here is my background. I started training in 2006 back then I was weighing 125lbs and my height was about 5,7. In 2010 february I was weighing 172 pounds and still measuring 5,7. I decided that it was time for me to use steroids .
My bodyfat was around 10-11% from what I could see altough it was not precisely measured.

As for diet I guess putting nearly 50 pounds (about 2/3 muscle) is a proof that I knew what I was doing.

the cycle I chose was 400mg test e (shot twice weekly 200mgs each)

About a week in cycle I started to see a red mark on my left shoulder, but my glutes and my right shoulder were fine. I decided to call my doctor and he advise me to come and see him in 5 days if the mark is still there (he knows I was using test e).

So 5 days later I end up at the hospital but not as appointed.
The final diagnosis was somekind of over reaction of my body vs the elevated test level.

I lost 20 pounds during the recovery and now I'm 5 months later I've just started to hit the gym a week ago and just wanted to tell my story.

So what exactly were your side effects? And how much test did you take in all? Did you do any PCT? How much weight did you gain on cycle?

Sounds like the docs thought it was etiocholanolone flu, which is a metabolite of testosterone that can cause an immune reaction when it elevates too fast. However, I'm thinking your gear was just contaminated, because "test flu" normally only lasts a few days and is easy to press on through. Either way, it doesn't cause you to lose 20lbs.
