Second Cycle Advice - First One Went Very Wrong

[matthewsb]

Hi Guys,

I am considering, but by no means hell bent on giving anabolics another go. I went in very green on my first cycle, believed everything that I was told by one eccentric and didn't do the reading up I should of done. I am a rather unusual case in that I have JME (Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy), and I discovered that steroids can interfere with the condition. Here's how the first cycle went, and how it went wrong...

I managed to injure my shoulder, and a guy who used to train with me let on I could get back to training in no time with a short course of sus and deca he just so happened to be pedalling at the time. I used it at pitifully small concentrations it turns out, i think it was 250 sus and 150 deca once a week for about a month or two, I forget exactly as this was about three years ago.

True to form, my shoulder healed up pretty quick, and i put on a little strength and mass. Then came time to get off the gear, so I asked for some PCT, but he said I didn't need it for small ammounts. The problems came about three or four weeks after I came off it, when my epilepsy went absoloutely bananas, it was impossible to get anything done and without moaning to much, it was a thoroughly unpleasant six months to a year while I got it under control again.

Previous to this I had been 100% drug controlled on sodium valproate for many years ( I am in my late twenties and have had this since my mid teens), so the chances of this being down to anything else are quite slim. I want to have another go at a successful cycle, but not if it means a repeat of what happened last time. Is there any advice that you guys could offer me, is there any way for a lifter with my complaint to use anabolic assistance?

I am very grateful for your advice guys :-)

I fear you may be right you know, I'm going to keep my eye out for anyone with a similar condition who's used aas sucessfully and see if they have any magical answers, but sadly i think natty might be my only option.
I'm in my late twenties for the record slogen, and my aims were to put on a little lean mass in 3-6 months time when I've got back into peak condition, but I think i may need to adjust my goals for something a little more attainable without aas.
