[Bleed]

Lithium for 15 years? Did i read that right?

Eric

Maybe he should go to a renal specialists before he draws conculsions. Think I would trust that more.

I agree with your post.

Eric..Would you only trust a nephrologist to tell you that you have edema?....let me show you where your ideas fall short........here is an analogy......do I need to tell you your small or do you gotta do a show to find out?

sorry i forgot to add an imp detail my bad! long term lithium use has been linkedn to serious kidney prob n i was on lithium 4 over 15 yrs...that is another drug that has been proven to b very taxing on the kidneys...sorry i left that out

My dad was taking lithium, and taken off of it because it was causing kidney damage. Lithium can be bad on it's own. But no doubt the steriods are probably a contributer as well.

It would be informative if you could clarify how long you have been on AAS.
How long is 'in the game a long time'. Constantly or cycling? More details on your use could help us a great deal. Thanks man, wanna learn from your experience. Thanks for sharing this with all of us.

I agree with Phil's Analogy..but there is nothing wrong with getting a second opinion by someone more qualified when dealing with medical issues. right?..



as long as the ladies think your arms are huge That's the true test

Well, some of us are going to experience some health problems caused directly from AAS use, that{s just the reality of it. Some of us are a bit more reckless than others, and leave out small but important details out, like blood work, or taking your BP on a regulasr basis, or simply adding natural substances that help control physiological functions. However this is what I find a bit insane about this; if I would be near death with renal failure due to the things I'm doing, you can bet your life there would be a radical change on everything I'm doing, just because I don't want to die, it's called survival. I also was an addict for many years, and it almost killed me, but Imade the proper adjustments to assure survival, and I know you can do the same. You must change whatsoever it is to assure tat you will not put yourself in this situation again, anything else is insanity or suicide. I wish you all the best. God bless you. Minister.

ive been in the game for a long time n my current cycle is 1800mg test/800mg deca + hgh + humalog...

note: i wasnt on humalog wen i was hospitalized n im just a little nervous thats why i posted my experience

What is your age?
current bodyweight?
and how long have you been ON?
Max Squat/Dead/Bench weights?
how much protein a day?
Then next ?'s
Blood pressure
Hematocrit/Hemoglobin
Cholesterol

2600 mgs a week explains a lot-but the ?'s above are a bigger piece of the puzzle.

You make it hard my friend...but I will say I trust others that have dealt with this problem for some time, and would consider them an expert on the subject. And they do look at these claims on here.

I will stop posting Phil

Keeping names out of it would appreciated, by everyone, I'm sure you have enough integrity to obilge to that request.

Eric, stop using my name and I will stop using yours................anyone who makes claims on here is fair game man..........maybe you should stop posting.

GO back and read THE BRICK's post. Let it sink in. Go check out the dialysis center. Realize thats three hours a day three times a week for the rest of your life. Not including the many hospitalizations you may get from dialysis related infections and other co morbidities. Imagine Kissing weights and normal life good bye.

I Dont give a F$%K if people here are ignorant and dont want to blame AAS for kidney problems but it clearly does. The elevated blood pressure ( I laugh at myself when people here on 3g of stuff and claim to have a bp of 120/80), the constant myolobins from muscle breakdown from working out and the state of dehydration over a long period of time will damage your kidneys.

You might have been given a second life if your kidney functions normalized DONT fuck it up again. Once kidneys are gone they ARE gone.

And i mean this with all respect and care brother. health is the most valuable thing a person has got. dont mess with it.

If you need any support quitting and keeping your head up, pm me i will give you my number but please dont inject yourself anymore RIGHT now.

Wow brother!!! You need to lay off the gear!

I have worked with many dialysis patients and been with several of them through the dying process. Dying from kidney failure has to be one of the worst deaths to watch. It takes anywhere from several days up to 10+ days after dialysis is stopped... Watching the toxins build up, ammonia levels rise, confusion and delirium set in, pain, skin breakdown, etc. all occur within that small time frame is quite a sad thing to witness...

I hope you pull your head out of your ass soon bro! I am harsh with that sentence but you have no clue what life on dialysis is like!!!

[s.norman]

265 at 10%...good enough to draw compliment from jeff poulin who works out at my gym..he called me a huge s.o.b. n asked if i was competing...i was very happy to get a compliment from a former IFBB pro...i dont know how to upload a pic if someone can pm me how to put a pik up i will...it will be impressive...

bp only top # is a little high...im 43 n didnt start aas till my late 30s n im 5/11

 

[s.norman]

I can understand how you guys may think being harsh and telling him hes PRE MORTUARY and what not makes you think it'll scare him, but being an addict and knowing many addicts myself, thats really not the best option.

I'm really sorry to hear this man, knowledge is key. Always do research, and then more research, and a little more after that anytime you are going to put something in your body. Just think man...a healthy life, or a big body. I'm here for ya man if you need someone to talk to, addiction is a hell of a battle but you can get over it.

Good luck man, hope everything turns out ok.

Oh and on a side note, saw you said about your esophagus/acid problems and you are taking dexilant. I had a gi scan done recently and I have SEVERE gastro problems and severe reflux. I was also scribed dexilant...too bad when I went in yesterday it woulda cost me 145 dollars to fill it. Sigh...thanks insurance you really helped. Now im outta luck and burping like crazy. Lifes rough.
