worried, brusing very easily

[Emondo]

I'm 5 weeks into a test e cycle 500mg/week. I've just noticed i'm brusing very easily, at the slightest pinch or grab of the skin and also getting marked if something rubs against me hard. Anyone know why this is and if its related to the cycle?

I would go to the doc. You want to make sure that you Sometimes you can get very high levels of rbc's and this can contribute to excessive bruising. ASS can cause a condition called polycythemia. Not saying that that is what you have but it is a possible condition. Have you ever had anemia?

no i've never had amemia, whats that ^^ about??

Most likely you are becoming or have become anemic....

go to your doc, and get tested. I would suspect that you have over +++ 250mcl Red Blood Count.

You also need to get your White blood/ protien/ and Billirubin counts....

F"": it...just go to the Doc and have him run a Chem7 on you....

I know Test doesn't effect the liver all that much, but if you did a lot of drinking/drugs back in the day, you can have a very weak liver, and the steroids can make it worse. If your liver is weak, so are your blood vessels, and when that happens, they are much easier to pop. The slightest hit or touch can pop one and you will bruise up.

what about uric acid...?

[SniperDoc]

I wouldn't worry to much about the bruising coming from hyperuricemia..

Over training your body with weights can cause your Uric Acid to be elevated, but normally you would fill it more in your kidneys....

Normal values fall between 3.0 and 7.0 mg/dL.

If you suspect this, than the drug of choice would be Guaifenesin (trade name Robatussin)....this will help lower levels.

Corticosteriods such as Depo-Medrol/ Solu-Medrol 125mG/IM would help this also......
