Test. Flu

[Cuz]

Ok boys a little update on this… Monday December 19th I went to bed at 8pm, woke up at 11pm coughing uncontrollably, I finally managed to get back to sleep after a couple hours but woke up in the morning with a cough and an extremely sore throat. I honestly thought it was from acid reflux (I had a small bowl of pasta with red sauce and a shake right before bed that night), even though I am on medication for it and haven’t had an issues. But, I have had this extremely sore throat from that day and it hasn’t gone away so I would say it wasn’t caused by reflux.

This is probably the worst sore throat I have ever had. My voice is terrible, I do still have a cough and I can’t push too hard in the gym because I’ll just start coughing. My temperature is normal sometimes, but mostly seems to be 99.5-100.5. I do have some nasty colorful snot that started coming out these past couple days, and I just feel awful- completely run down and weak.

I did a telehealth appointment Tuesday (which is a joke) but I was prescribed some antibiotics for possible strep throat. It’s been 5 days and they don’t seem to be helping.

I find it so hard to believe aas can cause a sore throat… I would buy it causing fatigue and a general unwell feeling but a sore throat as well??? And its not like I went from nothing to a full blown cycle, I’ve been injecting testosterone (same brand) for years. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve ran this exact cycle without an issue. This is just blowing my mind. I dropped the dbol over a week ago and I’m about to just drop everything all together if this is what is really causing this.

Maybe I’m just getting old at 33 and my body can’t do it anymore. It really sucks but my thought was to just skip injections for the next week or two, wait until I feel better, and then very slowly try to ramp back up to my current dose. And if that doesn’t work, maybe it’s time I hang it up..

You either have a viral or bacterial respiratory infection I don’t think Testosterone is the culprit here. Starting the cycle may have weakened your immune system for a short time but not likely. Take some time off, rest and heal up. Try it again in 4-6 weeks

I’m really hoping that is the case…. I know there’s a lot of nasty stuff going around but damn it’s been about 3 weeks of feeling like garbage… would have thought if it was viral it would have passed by now, and if it was bacterial it would be much better 5 days in on antibiotics.

You probably had a weakened immune system from catching a virus (that initially made you ill) and then a week or so later you got sick again with this RSV shit that I can attest to is fvuking nasty. I still have a cough weeks after it.

Best thing you can do is get rest, food and water.
