Friend got mono 5 weeks into test cyp cycle...what to do??

[bboveri]

Hey guys, friend got a nasty case of mono in the middle of his test cyp cycle. He wanted to run it 15 weeks at 500mg week. Should he drop his dose of test to 250mg/week while he's sick so he doesn't waste the test he has, or continue at 500mg? From my understanding, mono can be a pretty bad infection to get rid of and it can take weeks to fully recover.

the smart thing to do is just go off of the test and get some antibotics and get rid of the mono...Why waste money, just get healthy take a couple weeks off of the test, and when healthy again go back on...Its not that big of a deal...Do the right thing, and give the body a break

He isn't going to be able to do much except wait for this to pass by. I'd have him drop the test back down to 250mg/wk since he doesn't want to deal with a total crash during this bout of Mononucleosis. He'll have this anywhere from 6 weeks to 12 weeks in duration. If he was like me, he'll want to get a script for some pain meds because the sore throat is pretty intense for weeks. Antibiotics will not do anything since Mono is a viral infection. He needs to stay hydrated, continue to eat small meals when he can, and just rest and sleep until this passes. Since Mono can be fairly hard on the liver, i'd recommend some liver protectants....even if they do not help at all, they will not necessarily hurt anything either.

Here's a opening for TP/Dante's Beef Protein Isolate to come in handy for this situation.....he can use the BPI in a broth to stay hydrated, while getting protein in as well. He's not gonna want to eat much, since the sore throat will be killer, so the BPI/broth will help a lot.

So here's what i'd recommend:

1. Rest and sleep as much as possible.
2. Refrain from all physical activity (do a search on Mono + Spleen).
3. Stay hydrated
4. Have the MD write a Rx for pain Meds (I used Vicodin) for the sore throat pain and fever.
5. Eat small frequent meals.
6. See if BPI/broths can be of benefit (wish i had this option when I had Mono)
7. throw in some liver protectants
8. Avoid crashing by stuill using a small amount of test. AAS crash + Mono would suck.

I've probably missed some things, but i'm sure if anybody else reads this, then they can chime in

Your friend is going to be in a world of pain for a good 2-3 months

From what I remember of mono it can cause liver problems, like swelling. I would get off the juice totally.

Thanks for the opinions, guys. I told him and if he is not feeling better after a week he will most likely get off of it.
