Problems with staph and infections HELP!!!

[Sixfinger]

I've done cycles from dbol, winni, and var alone too test and dbol, test and winni test and mast, and test and tren. I started getting infections like staph and mersa after my first cycle of test tren and dbol I then cycled off and got back on just test and got another staph infection. I also have oral herpes or cold sores and had breakouts when I was on test an tren both the last two times. Any input on if just sticking to dbol or winni orals would have similar effects or not cause id like to keep cycling but the infections and breakouts aren't worth it.

First and foremost, anabolics, whether oral or injectable suppress your immune system making you more susceptible to illness and infections. StaphA is a bacteria commonly found on the surface of the skin. MRSA is a strain of StaphA that becomes resistant to many beta-lactam types of antibiotic drugs. Anytime your immune system is weakened you are more susceptible to these infections. All of this should have been known to you before you started your journey into anabolics at 19 years of age.

Describe your step by step protocol for injections.

Wow MI, I didnt know that about lowing your immune system. Have your written a sticky on this? Great information. Does this also include people on TRT?

Shave the quad the day before, morning of, shower and clean area with dial soap, swab with rubbing alcohol and inject. Use new clean pins and barrels each time. Do certain types make you more susceptible then others?

Just to be clear, you never touch the needle with anything, correct? It comes out of the sealed package, completely sterile and never comes in contact with anything?

Another possibility is contaminated gear.

Very seldom is it a problem with TRT given that doses are low, within physiological ranges, and many injections handled by HCPs (but not always).

The only time I've seen an issue is among older men where other comorbidities make therapeutic management a little more challenging but the incidence of infections or illnesses is negligible.

Yeah totally clean and sterile. Does hgh do the same thing In weakening your immunity to infections and such?

I feel like I get sick a lot these days.

No, but GH brings its own risks independently.

Ive read something about the immune system being weakened on a cycle. It made me hesitant to start in winter. This is the first winter I can remember that I haven't got the flu or even a cold. I did get cellulitis on my first injection though. Sucked

Ik this is going to sound stupid but what's an iu and how is it taken? Injects or oral? And what is the compound called which Is most commonly used.

Does gh seem to raise blood pressure as much as an anabolic compound would?
