The gear or the flu?

[beans14]

So last night around 2:30am I woke up with the worst chills (house was room temperature) and the most painful what seems like hunger pains. These so called "hunger pains" happened one other day, last Friday and are so bad that it makes me feel like puking and keeps me from sleeping. Can't test cause this or could it maybe be the flu?

[beans14]

Another thing, when I have these stomach pains and go to eat something it's not the same. I feel like I need to force myself to eat because I'm worried about puking

[beans14]

Please help. Can test make you feel this way or should I just wait it out and eat what I can

I feel sick and nausea if I get hungry. Happens almost every morning if I don't eat within an hour. Have a big complex carb meal before bed.

[beans14]

Both times this has happened I had a huge pasta dish before bed

[Lunk1]

What else (everything) are you injecting or injesting??

[beans14]

Besides the aromasin at 12.5 eod lunk that's all the gear. Yesterday I had an 8 egg white veggie omelette with 2 slices of whole wheat toast with pb for breakfast. Before the gym I made myself a blended shake with 1/3cup oats, frozen berries w/2cups milk. Iso shake after gym and a turkey sandwich. Lunch had a large chicken stirfry and a burger after that. Next snack was 2 turkey sandwiches. Supper was a large bowl of pasta and meat sauce.

[Lunk1]

You said "thats all the GEAR" what else are you taking???

[beans14]

500mg test C/week e3.5 days. Yesterday was injection day

[beans14]

Last Friday when this happened it was 2 days after injection, again around 3am

[Lunk1]

I mean..are you taking any other meds? scripts or otherwise??

[beans14]

No, just a multi, coenzyme q10, omega 3 and milk thistle

[Lunk1]

I don't think what your describing is related to test. Ride it out and see what happens or if the symptoms get any worse.

[beans14]

Ok, hope symptoms go away. Thanks

Doesn't really sound like "test-flu" as people like to call it. Test-flu isn't the flu, rather you get flu-like symptoms (chills, aches, low grade fever sometimes). Hung pangs (not pains) aren't usually a symptom.

There are a lot of viruses circulating right now so you may have picked something up unless the symptoms come and go only with your injections, then it's more likely gear-induced.

Pasta as part of your nutrition plan!?! Not the best choice.

Shouldn't you be handcuffed to a bed at the HR right now???

Tomorrow night. Took kiddies to Adventure Land today. Lines were ridiculous. Food isn't fit for a dog. Thank god for decent food tonight.

Off to start my sinning tomorrow!

That's exactly what it feels like, muscle. I'll look in to "test-flu" a little more. And I'll take note of the pasta. It's a whole wheat pasta if that makes things any better. But last time it lasted only one day. I'll see how tomorrow is

Ok, keep us posted. Usually test-flu symptoms feel like mild case of influenza. Shouldn't last long though. Your body should adapt. If not, it could be tainted gear.

Pasta is pasta. Lol. Leads to too much fat. I love pasta, but hasn't been in my nutrition for over 2 years now.

[beans14]

Will do muscle, thanks for the help. I looked into test-flu and that seems to be what in experiencing. Just started with this new vile last week (6th week). Yesterday was 7th. I'm already feeling a bit better this evening but most of my day was spent in bed not eating much.

[beans14]

All back to normal today, no stomach pains, no chills, no aches. I wonder if I should put the remainder of this vial off to the side and crack another. I have enough to have one spare vial after the cycle is ran.

[Lunk1]

Nah...pin it again and see for sure if it's related. I'm a glutten for punishment that way lol. If it happens again then chalk it up to the gear and switch

[beans14]

Hahaha. Next pin is tomorrow, I can give it another shot. Yesterday sucked though and I barely ate anything. I'll know by Sunday.

[Lunk1]

I'm not saying it's the samrt thing to do Beans lol. I just would always be curious if it was just a virus or the gear. The reality is that it could be a simple reaction to ANY gear that your body has to get accustomed too, so even a new vial may cause the same reaction.

[beans14]

I understand what your saying, this has happened only twice so far both from the same vile. I've been using this vile since week 4 and it fist happened two days after last Wednesdays shot. Then Saturdays shot went fine and the next shot just the other day the same thing occurred. Do you think i could have contaminated it somehow? The symptoms both only lasted a day. I probably only have another couple shots out of this vile before I crack the next one anyway.

[beans14]

Btw Lunk, as per our conversation a week or two ago when I was concerned if it was working or not, I took a weight at the gym just two days. It was on a pendulum style scale an I was up nearly 15lbs from starting weight. Came home monday from 2 weeks out in the bush at work and shirts no longer fit across my back and chest. It's clearly doing its job. I feel leaner as well.

[Lunk1]

No...If you had contaminated the vial in some way I would expect a site infection vs a flu like reaction. Like Ink said earlier, your body may still be adjusting to gear, so may not matter what vial you use. If you crack the new one and symptoms don't show, then it won't prove that they would have shown again in the old vial.

If you have the extra gear, I suppose the safest bet is to use a new vial. Lack of symptoms still won't prove that you may not have just had some bug as well.

I'd blame the old lady for her little injection disruption the other day lol

[beans14]

Lol, I should blame for that! Haha.

[Lunk1]

Glad to hear it's working well...enjoy it.
