Did any of you take steroids at age 20 or younger? did it effect your future?

Here it goes...

I was 19 or 20. Started my 1st cycle. Ate like a horse, got big, felt like King of the World. Took enough to shut me down. Started to feel sluggish towards the end and quit my cycle early. A few months later I started to notice a dark spot on my shoulder. Didn't think much of it. The next month I am wrapping up with a gorgeous girl after a couple hours of incredible sex. As I got up to walk to the bathroom, she says "OH MY GOD!" - I said... "Yep, I get that a lot", being all cocky. She said "No, look at your back!" - so I go to the mirror and my entire back is covered in dark spots, ALL OVER IT. Very embarrassing. I go see a doc and he tells me it's hyper pigmentation. At the time I told him what I took (I would never do that today), and he confirmed it was from the juice. Tried every topical, pill, injection you could think of. Nothing worked. It spread to my shoulders and stopped at my delts.

Fast forward about 5 or 6 years. Erections started to get weak. Didn't think much of it. Another year goes by... WTF??! No wood. Nothing. Started to research on my own because I didn't want to go see the doc. Tried everything OTC. Nothing helped.

When I turned 27, I decided enough is enough, I have GOT to get laid. So I went to the doc. After results, the doc says "Austinite, you do not produce any natural testosterone." Number are too low to count. Well? What does that mean? Fix me, Doc! Ok, you will need to administer Testosterone Injections. Ok.. no problem, how many injections? two? Three? Doc says, No. For the rest of your life.

I said no thanks! And I left. Back to my research...

I fell into deep depression. Friends are all going out and partying. Everyone has a hot chick on their side. I'm sitting at home, depressed out of my brains. 2 years later (I will not go into detail, but suicidal thoughts were very frequent). Got on anti-depressants and was addicted for a short while until I snapped out of it. Finally at age 31, I had enough and went into a longevity clinic for TRT.

So today, at age 36, I produce no natural testosterone, I am a TRT patient for life, I still have to use cialis to get an erection and lastly, no matter how much I grow, get big and get a rockin' body, I can never take my shirt off in public. That REALLY sucks Especially when I'm at the beach, seeing random guys showing off and I know... I look better.

Are these all common for everyone? No. But I heard about the dangers before I did that cycle. You know what the last thing I said before I injected? "THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN TO ME!"

I did everything right. The only thing that changed was I stopped the cycle 2 weeks early.

thanks for the kind words.

I have never heard of hyperpigmentation. I didn't know Testosterone could do that to you?

I'm only twenty (turn twenty one in February next year) and I'll be starting my first cycle in just under two weeks. I'll let you know how it does.

Hey my brotha...this makes me sad. I knew there was a story but this is the first time I heard the whole thing. I'm glad you found peace and a home on this board. I'm sure you have heard it before man but you should own those spots. Like a mother with stretch marks, man you earned em and fuk everyone else!
