It’s good 2 b alive

[almostgone]

I was gonna just add this to my death thread back from 2020

Anyways - shit’s been so up down & around it’s just _____

So I got on a tren/mast + cycle like 6 weeks ago.

I have a shit ton of work, been running 14 hour shifts in something I’d consider hell on wheels - this has been just for the last week, but before was no better - I'm working out in 115 degree temps

I have been getting a slight pressure where I usually I don’t in/on my head - it’s been on/off for about a month

The previous night to this I let go my hell on wheels experience to wake up to a weird pushing from within my skull at 4am - fall back asleep, wake up at 6:30 or so - it’s worse

Off to ER I go - to find out it’s due to brain swelling. They pumped me full of meds & I passed out in the corner. Luckily my caring wife was like, wtf - he went off line for an hour after texting “they’re pumping me full of meds”. So she finds me passed out in the corner of ER somewhere.

Feeling aight today tho

I swear, I can’t make this shit up



A day apart

Sounds like you're pushing definitely too hard in this heat, man. Try to scalie things back a tad, and stay relaxed as much as you can. I don't want to read that you had to go back for more repair work on your skull plumbing.

What kind of follow-up instructions/restrictions did the ER send home with you?

If I may ask, why did you move to the states? Easier access to aas & better gyms; or, something else? No, ain’t being a smart ass, sincere question.

Who? Me?

My parents moved to the US when I was 9-10

What kind of follow-up instructions/restrictions did the ER send home with you?

To follow up with a neurologist - which of course I can not do due to have an active CDL

It’s easy to say “take it easy” - but, this has been my work for over a decade.

I’m not sure what I’m gonna do at this point tho

I absolutely understand that you've been pushing yourself. I've been doing the same since 2006/2007, when I was diagnosed with all of the heart problems.

At my current job, I work between 12 and 12.5 hour shifts and my commute time is right at 3 hours. I was just wondering if there was anyone trustworthy that you could bring on even if it was on a part time schedule.....just so you get a little break from the constant grind.

Usually I work 4 days in a row, but then I get a couple of days off unless I have to pick up coverage for someone else being out. If it weren't for the random days off, I probably wouldn't be here to make this post. Really got my fingers crossed that you can find a way to scale back some, man.

Yes. My point is sometimes the American dream of success can become a nightmare, but understand. I brought up the aas/gyms because I remember how taxing it was to cycle in the summer with tren. And this is one hell of a Summer in respect to heat.

I wish you the very best Samson.

I def feel that atm

I’m trying to find a way out - I’m trying to stay out of the heat, but some days it’s just unavoidable

I pulled back my roids & now I feel intact. But, I was just getting ready to expand - but, now it just doesn’t seem like a great idea
