    allergies and aas

    I have only had a mild allergic skin reaction to mold in my life thus far. If I use a 2 or 3 day old towel that I had previously used it would cause acne to flare up soon after. I'm 38 and 5 weeks into my cycle. I installed my AC 2 weeks ago. It had been in my barn for quite some time collecting mold. I've never had a problem before so I just installed it. Sh*t storm followed that action. Eyes watering, skin burning, itchy, can't breathe through nose, snot face all day, slightly disoriented and just plain miserable. I took some Loratidine and that seems to calm things down a lot. I dunno if it's just coincidence but this allergy sh*t kicked in after I had started my cycle. Can aas enhance an existing allergy that was so mild before that it was not even noticeable to full blown allergic reaction? Any thoughts? or just coincidence?

    I suspect coincidence, but it is possible that your body is slightly sensitive to the oil used in the test, caused a slight reaction, and acted as a catalyst so that your immune system couldn't handle anything else on top of the oil in the test.

    just thinking out loud....

    Funny thing, prior to my steroid use I had very severe allergies during the summer months. I'm talking unbearable didnt even want to go outside allergies. Seems to me like ever since I've started cycling they have completely disappeared! I've learned to live with this my entire life and for the last few years, nothing! I know this is completely different from your experience OP but thought I'd share....weird.

    I neglected to see that angle. I suppose since my body already produces test and I haven't had problems I gotta remember if different sides happen that are not the normal test sides then it's from the oils used. Good take on it, I may want to stay away from Ugl stuff then.....hmmm. As long as I can keep in under control I'll just have to experiment and log results.

    For you guys. Allergies really do suck terrible, wow. If on cycle it's better for you, I would not want to come off. I realize time off is a must for a lifelong pursuit of wellbeing and health. Just saying..
