bad ankle edema from DNP?

[Dens228]

If it were me I wouldn't care what was causing it. I'd drop to low trt only and run, not walk, run, to the doc for full blood tests, heart and kidney function. I've never heard a good cause of ankles swelling outside of spraining it.

Have you never competed?

I have, about 33 years ago! After my first few shows I switched to powerlifting......lol

At 58 years old my health is my priority.

Just saying, I've gotten swollen ankles after like every show I've done.

Glad to hear the good news.

Were you running crystal or powder DNP? Going from200-300 to 400 with powder is definitely a bigger step than with crystal. I've run both a number of times and 400-450 powder made me hold water pretty bad but 600mg crystal not so much, might just be my body chemistry but that's my 2 cents.

it was powder, so the 400mg was a true 400mg, no sodium salt taking up mgs like with crystal. ive used both types pretty extensively and never noticed a difference in sides or results once the difference in active DNP is calculated but ya it could be that one type causes more edema than the other.

By this and your other posts it's obviously the DNP. By your wording I thought you had started everything together so that's why I figured HGH would be the most obvious but it could have been any or a combination of things. DNP can definitely make people hold water though but it's not usually overly bad for most if they keep an eye on calories and electrolytes. I remember trying 1iu riptropin back in the day and put on 10 pounds of water in a few days. I have used blacktops recently and when I come off I usually drop a few pounds in a few days. If you ever use it again you are probably best sticking to approx 200mg per day. There is definitely a big difference moving from 200mg to 400mg. You mention your bp is usually fairly low off cycle so be careful with 80mg telmisartan and perhaps lower it back to 40mg in the near future or stop it completely if your bp goes low again.

ya its pretty safe to say it was the DNP as well. ive used it many times in the past but never noticed the edema quite that bad so it kinda scared me lol. and ya i dont hold much if any water from GH and ive been on the same dose for quite some time so didnt think that couldve been it, and yes ive heard those stories of the rips back in the day lol, never used em personally tho. and yes, going forward ill stick to the 200-300mg DNP dose i usually use. and ill be monitoring my BP and adjust my telmis dose as needed depending on readings.

It could be due to so many things. You are taking 500mg test and tren (kidneys) for example. Yes DNP can make you hold water but so can HGH. How much HGH are you on and what brand? If it's as bad as you state I would suggest lowering you doses of everything.

so its been about a wk since dropping the DNP and the ankle swelling seems to have completely resolved. my BP is back down to 120/75 even with EC in my system on 40mg telmisartan and 5mg cialis ed. shortness of breath is gone as well. doses of everything else have remained the same as i was confident it was the DNP causing this issue and not anything else. just bumping this thread with one final update in case this ever happens to anyone in the future and theyre also looking for answers.

Aren’t you scared? That sounds scary like all of a sudden your ankles blew up and disappeared. I’d go the hospital.

lol ya definitely, but i had a strong suspicion it was from a high dose of a drug i was taking that is known for severe edema and would dissipate once i dropped it. and it looks like i was right thankfully.

ive been PSMFing on 400mg powder DNP (along with 500 test/tren each, EC, GH, inj l-carn) for the last 11 days and just got back from walking on the incline at the gym and holy shit when i went to put new socks on after showering my ankles have completely disappeared. ive run DNP many times in the past but usually 200-300mg for a few wks and never have noticed this at all. i have been a lil short of breath since starting but chalked that up to the DNP as it always makes me feel winded even just talking lol, plus tren doesnt help in the breathing dept either.

im down 10 lbs since starting but i do look pretty watery which i know the DNP causes but holy shit i havent ever held this much water from this shit before ever and its kinda scaring me. i have one last cap of it tomorrow ill finish off but god damn idk if ill run this shit again seeing as how one of DNP's positives is supposedly no CV stress but if it makes u hold that much water like a heart failure patient then maybe its not lol.

Is your dnp actually powder or crystalline? I mean no disrespect at all but I know powdered is damn near impossible to find, I’d pay ridiculous for some lol I have plenty of crystalline but I’m highly allergic to it, which sucks ass
