Well, I am very surprised at those labs after you being on for over 18 months, to me I never thought I would see such a thing. I thought you would be.
If its all done accurately though and those tests were run while you were on the drugs, then not so bad. The tests were run toward the end while you were still on or did you wait a month or more before you did it? Even if you waited 1 month and your hemoglobin was that low I would have expected it to still be high so that means it probably wasnt much higher earlier on. All my labs have been doctor prescribed and done through LabCorp.
And yes, my January 2010 Labs done just prior to my viral injection concur with your expectations.
To me these test results you have are highly uncommon and I urge others to not lower their defense and do a cycle like that withtout running complete blood work at least once every 3 months. Im just worried that others will see this and think well, if he could do it then so can I! I agree. Everyone is different in their response and tolerance to both foods and chemicals. You can take a group and describe what you see in summarized generalities. But you cannot apply those generalities to any one individual within that group.
Looks like youve been so much more careful than the average guy about getting tested. Hahaha!!! I'm a techie nerd. So that's to be expected.
I do have one question for you. WHen you were diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, were you taking AAS or had you ever used AAS? I think I have conveyed the fact that I too was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy prior to my heart attack and I blamed it on a virus. I went back on AAS after about 10 months of being clean. I was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy in early February of 2010 immediately after my viral attack. It hit me very fast and hard. I lost 18lbs in 3 days and could hardly move. My body felt like it weighed 500lbs. Pretty much here's how it went.
The infection came on in less than half a day. January 26th or 27th, I don't remember off the top of my head the exact day. But I went to work, started feeling tired and heavy, then sick and dizzy. I excused myself, drove home and crashed into my carport post. Got out of the car and didn't even look at the damage. By that afternoon I couldn't walk 5 feet without dropping to the floor or leaning both hands on the wall.
Within hours my organs started shutting down. By the third day I was almost comatose. But by the end of that same day, I started feeling better. By the 5th day I felt like I was recovering from a bad case of the flu. My ecco showed the mitrial valve, left ventrical and center wall were all normal. And steroids were somewhat ruled out since typically the center wall swells. But the upper outer right wall of the right ventrical was very swollen. I was told unless I was a very heavy drinker, I had just survived a viral attack.
I went home and rested a few days until I felt better. February 11th I tried going back into the gym and doing a very light workout using very light weight and high reps. But that night got sick, throwing up and such. So I realized I had to wait. So about two months later I went back into the gym and started in very slowly.
On or about 4/20/2010 I contacted Mountaindog, didn't tell him very much, just that I'd been sick, and went right back into my contest prep leading to last year's North American. It's scary that I would have made those choices without flinching. But that's the real story along with the choices I made.
I want you to know that this is the first time I've ever actually told the whole story to anyone. I've only told bits and pieces to explain my absence. I just recently told Mountaindog I would write it all down for him in an email but I didn't. I hope this post will not offend him. As I have nothing but respect for him. But I wanted to die fighting, ...not waiting.
PS, just read your post again and I see you were off for about 1 month before you took the test. Why not test yourself at the very end of the cycle when your AAS levels in the blood are their highest. If your doses arent the highest at the end, try to test yourself when your in the midst of taking the most. I would value those levels more than the levels you see after 1 month of rest. You should have had tests done though during the cycle? Can you post those for us? Id like to see where those were at.The January labs look almost the same except the cholesterol was upside down, Pregnenolone was non-existent, Total Testosterone was >800, and Hemoglobin was 17.7 & Hemotocrit was 51.5. I had been on just over 2g of AAS/wk for about 7 weeks. Before that I was at around 700mg/wk of AAS for about 10 months.
