I am posting this hoping other members may find this information useful.
I have been on test e at 500mg ew and hgh at 3iu, 5/2 for about six months now. I started eq about 10 weeks ago at 600mg ew.
I had posted earlier about how I was feeling tired all the time. Marcus replied to my post and was telling me his similar experience and that he had a high rbc and had to have some blood taken out.
My main symptom was being tired all the time and wanting to sleep, but I was also feeling lethargic, vision was a little hazy, very high bp, hot all the time/would sweat like crazy, winded most of the time, dizzy and loss of motivation. Kinda reminded me of being on my tren cycle. J
After seeing how high my bp was, which peaked at 172/106 one time, I decided to quit the cycle and go see my doctor. I did tell my doctor about my cycle. He sent me out for blood work and everything came back fine except for my rbc. I had too much blood in my system. My doc sent me to the hospital to have a pint of blood removed. I have to have more blood work done now to see if my rbc is ok now, if it is still high, I will need to have some more blood removed.
Obviously being on the test that long and adding the eq really increased my rbc. I was happy to see that everything else was fine though. I never had a blood test while on a cycle before. I am going to start donating blood 3 times a year to try and avoid this from happening again. I found out that you can donate while on a cycle with no problems.
After they took the blood, I didn’t feel immediate relief like I heard some people do, but the girl at the hospital said that it could take a few hours to a day or so.
I would have never have thought about my rbc causing this if it wasn’t for this forum. I appreciate Marcus’s input on this issue and the very supportive forum members on this board.
