    PIP and Test Flu

    I was recently chatting with an old friend in the medical community about the reasons behind pip and the so called "Test Flu". He stated, " Both are mostly related to a foreign substance being introduced to the body, and that repeated pins can cause T-cell levels to rise triggering the immune system to run into over drive, which is mainly why some people feel like sh!t when they begin a cycle." Guess it all depends on the persons immune system, sterility, and quality of gear.

    Anyone care to critique or add to the post..

    Touch wood I've never experienced it personally but have spoken to others that have experienced these flu like symptoms upon starting a cycle.

    Makes complete sense to me.
    I'm a recovered IV drug user, and I've noticed that I rarely ever get sick. Most of the people I know who used IV drugs ( introducing a foreign substance into the body ) rarely get sick. I've always wondered why that was.
    Makes sense now.

    Yes the 6 months I was on TRT the test flu was killing me and when I stopped I still woke up with flu symptoms for 5 months after and continued to experience cold chills, I knew it had weakened my immune system.

    From what I Read its the dramatic sudden changes in the hormonal balance that throws everything out of wack including the immune system/body tempreature etc.

    True that.

    Have you ever interacted with menopausal women?

    The endocrine system and associated hormones regulate appetite, sleep, wakefulness, memory, mood, digestion, sex drive, immunity and more. Basic anatomy and physiology. So yes, changing hormones with gear will effect these processes.
