Boldone headaches??

hompie · Jun 19, 2005

A friend of mine always uses 1000mg of test as a base for his cycle.
He has been doing 400 mg Boldone along with it this time.
Now after four weeks he has headaches every day. Could it be the boldone?
Bloodpressure is ok at 80/135. In other words could a certain steroid give you headaches if you are sensitive for it?
Thanks,
Hompie

i know that red blood cells are higher on EQ causing increase in vascularity so maybe the high blood volume level is causing it.....but i would lean towards the 1000 mgs of test...try lowering it under 750-500mgs...JMO

Ok although when he combines 1000mg test with primo or deca he never gets these problems...

Hmm...i would hop off the EQ and see what happens...you'll find out within a week....we all react differently to the same drugs...

I would strongly suggest your friend go to the doctor and ask for a hemoglobin/hematocrit blood count done. It's a very simple blood test...not very expensive. I'm betting he has polycythemia. Polycythemia is basically a very high red blood cell count. In laymans terms...your blood turns to sludge potentially leading to a thrombus (blood clot) which could get lodged in an artery leading to the brain = stroke!
The least he could do is take a baby aspirin in the mean time and do his best to stay hydrated.

Thats it, you scared my friend

He dropped the Boldone 5 days ago just to make sure.
But anyway 4 weeks of 400 mg Boldone and already these problems, just bad luck? It isn't too much is it?

He dropped it 5 days ago and hasn't had a headache today for the first time.
It's still early today though...........
Btw, should he be worried?
