First, rheumatology appointment last week just to get checked out and Dr immediately says I have RA. Still waiting on bloodwork and doing research as this dr prescribed methotrexate. Those that aren't familiar with these drugs they are immunosuppressive and are essentially a cell killing (cytotoxic) anti cancer drug, not unlike chemo therapy. Different dose obviously but who would ever just submit to that as a first line treatment.

So I am having a hard time finding the effects of aas compounds on the immune system and the inflammatory process. Studies are few and far between. But if certain aas compounds are immunosuppressive (likely dose dependent) my theory would be to use those compounds if it turns out I am In The beginning Stages of RA and monitor bloodwork. Still uncertain of labs abilities to test for specific inflammatory cells.

If anyone has any personal research or know of a study I would appreciate a response. Thanks guys.

For a background I am currently on prescribed trt:
80mg test c every 4th day
HCG 450iu every 4th day
Exemestane 12.5mg 4th day

195 lbs, 6'1" 13% body fat
Shoulder, knee, back pain.
Low inflammation (low Esr and C-reactive protein tests)
