I always feel AWESOME on cycle. Now there is a such a thing as test flu, but that isnt because of a weak immune system.

i've always heard they usually boost your immune system, especially deca. i don't have any back up on that though

Bodybuilders in general are more susceptible to upper respiratory infections. I think It was published in the the New England journal of medicine a few years back. When I'm on I seem to shake infections and viruses much more quickly. There is an increase in the killer-T cells. This is why it is good to treat people with AIDS related symptoms with deca or test. I'm not a Dr., but I'm getting ready to start the PA program

AAS, in general, skew the immune system (icreasing Th2 immunity at the expense of Th1), which basically means that you're more susceptible to viral infections, but less susceptible to common bacterial infections (oversimplified).
