cholesterol and steroid question

**bnjf** · 08-11-2011, 11:19 AM

From all the side effects that scare me,its the hdl and ldl profile. This seems to be one side that is for sure. My question is how profound of an impact does a moderate dose have and how long before it returns to normal?anyone that has had bloodwork, id love to hear from you. Im looking to add a second short cycle for the year. I just don't want to be running around with a cholesterol problem. I should get bloodwork but im without insurance right now. And I only do one low dose cycle a year right now. But again id like to ds a second 6-8 weeker.

Same here, my LDL has gone out of whack before, but it always goes right back to normal after stopping the cycle.

personaly my cholesteron level never wend very much over the limts when on the cycle, so would not be sure about it. Once again it could be age depending

It depends on the drugs used.
Non-aromatising orals are generally the worst (anavar , winstrol , etc).
Aromatising injectables are the easiest on your lipids (test, nandrolone , EQ).

Not to hijact the thread but can people take cholesterol meds on cycle. Will it ruin the cycle or will the steroids render the meds useless

Lol I remember seeing a vid of Ronnie Coleman. He had a whole tackle box full of meds from vitamins to cholesterol and blood pressure pills. I guess they work!
