    Getting jacked on cortisone!

    Not really but I ripped this out of wiki: "The effects of cortisone as a performance enhancing drug (PED) are not well listed. This is for a number of reasons. Being a banned drug without permission its use tends not to be publicised and effects not reported. For the same reasons research on its effects isn’t usually published in medical journals which is the way most doctors and scientists usually tell others about their findings." ....... So how bout it? Anybody ripping it up with cortisone? One of the side effects is muscle fatigue, yet they are still worried it could possibly have some sort of enhancement effect? Jeepers Creepers! The media knows jack about anything!
    JUST SHARING!

    I've speculated that cortisone (cortisol and derivatives) could perhaps be used as a temporary PED; much the same as using morphine before a contest when you got an injury.
    It's a stress hormone and would (in theory) help you through an event by sacrificing immune function, reducing inflammation, providing energy by increased catabolism and so on. Thus, in theory, it might help u short term, but fuck you up long term. (Reducing strength, muscle, etc)

    If there's any merit to this I don't know.
    I've tried prednisolone before some workouts when I had a shoulder injury,
    but I used a low dose and had no intent on lifting heavy.
    So don't know.

    Reporters are specialists when it comes to PEDs you know,
    (Just like with anything)
    If they say asthma inhalers is doping then surely it must be so.

    Whatever it does, it does not build any muscle.

    Quite the opposite in fact.

    It can also blunt the inflammatory process the body uses for healing in an acute setting, but the desired effect works for chronic for pain relief and to "get over the hump". It can bump your blood glucose if you have an issue there at all. I do not see a benefit to using it for anything other than asthma, chronic tendinitis, radicular pain, etc.

    I used to get cortisone injections for arthritis in my knuckles. I never got that much but it gave me no gain or pump thats for sure. When they are looking at a persons medical history that hard trying to say they are using performance enhancers its just plain stupid. If they are giong that far maybe they need to outlaw the use of food for athletes. The other thing that made me post this, once in a while I hear people say they have been on roids before because they got cortisone injections. I had one guy I can think of tell me "I had to cease cortisone injections for my legs because the steroids were making me angry".
    I gave no reply smiled real big nodded. Cortisone had him roid raging apparently! People are wonderful.
