Test Flu

[T TOTAL]

How do you guys cope with test flu symptons, ie general feeling of pain around the injection site the day after and the following few days, general feeling of, how can i put it, yukiness along with headaches ( which i NEVER normally get )??....

Do you perservere and push through it, hopeing you adapt and it goes away or do you change test??

Wonder what the actual cause is too?

That has never happened to me. I do get the the soreness around the shot area, but that is nornal.

If i am off for a long period of time i get Test Flu when i go back on. i think it is a hormonal imbalance causing it but please don't quote me on this. Usually the symptoms for me last anywhere from 24-72 hours with symptons just like the flu(upset stomach, feeling yucky, the whole nine yards).

I usually just wait it out and my body adjusts to the hormone levels i am taking.

Its defo not hormonal inbalance, just a change of test ether... Not got an upset stomach, just feel crappy in general. That being said it didnt stop me having a belter of a leg session this morning, despite a throbbing headache....love training legs though.
In anticipation of pain i had to actually change site so that the butt pain wouldnt hamper my squats

Wow, that does not sound like test flu then. I only get it when i am going on after a period of being off. Annd if the doseages didn't go up that would really explain it either. Sorry, i am at a loss.

On a positive note, hope you feel better!

IP?

My first two cycles were IP. I grew on them, but the whole time I was in pain. This included fever, headache, no appetite. I believe it is from the high BA content, your immune system percieves it as a foreign substance(flu virus) and you feel like you have the flu. I just stayed on advil, and limped my way around everyday for 2 months. I've figured out since then to find ethyl oleate based products, saves a lot of pain.

Hoping you did not stock up too big on this product, I would try replacing the product ASAP. I got bit in the ass by ordering a 20 pack of the IP prop. It is garbage, and after one .5 ml shot, I decided to flush the shit.

Sounds a little odd. I get a bit of a temp for 1-2 days tops.This diminishes with each week. Until the 4-5 week where I no longer experience this.
The injection site is almost always a little swollen as well .Lasting anywhere between 1-3 days.
I use ibuprofen when I go to bed for the first two days after a shot . Just to reduce the fever a little so I can sleep.The site soreness is something I just suck up.
I'm personally not a fan of common pain killers so I do my best not to use these.If I do I keep the doses at a minimum.

Anyone know of a alternative that will reduce a fever?

I don't think test flu is from the test. It's likely one of two other things.

Most likely it's the quantity of or type of alcohol (or perhaps bb) in the stuff you're taking. Do the injection sites swell and feel sore? Sustanons, and other blends with prop and/or high concentrations of test need solvents to keep the gear disolved in the oil.

Other possibility is some other contaminent in the gear.

I got the "flu" once after my first shot of T400 some years ago. That stuff was full of alcohol, and probably made somewhere dirty.

I knew other people that had the same thing happen. So, we then boiled the vials we had, with a pin sticking out of the top for ~20 minutes. Never had an issue with it again.. However, we still got results, implying that the test was still present but something else wasn't. I think the difference was that we reduced the alcohol content.

Thank you for that, although I never get sick or "flu like symptoms" from test it is good to know about the boiling idea.

this is usually the reason

hey, i was reading this thread with interest because i have some gear that gives gains, but makes me feel flu-ish on a consistent basis. i have been thinking that it may be alcohol content. so, i would like to try your boiling idea. when you say a pin, what do you mean? a hypodermic needle, or an actual pin?

so, just stick a pin in the rubber stopper and boil and no more flu? sounds good.

Put a hypodermic needle (no syringe, obviously) in the top to let the expanding gases/vapors in the bottle escape. The larger the gage, the better. You could even inject "fresh" air into it with a second pin (+ syringe) every couple of minutes to clear out the alcohol vapor.

I usually put a few drinking glasses in the pan (with some water in them) to surround the vial and keep it from falling over. Just have the water level up the top of the oil level in the vial. You might have to use something to hold it down and keep it from floating.

Be aware that high temperatures slowly break down testosterone. So, put it in already boiling water for 20 minutes, then put it in the fridge to cool it down to room temp ASAP. Don't worry though; you'll never know the difference, as the effect is extremely slight for a short duration like this.

Let me know how it works out.

Basically the test flu is an inflammatory response to alcohol and or endotoxins.

To reduce pain and ensure sterility it is best to bake it in the oven.
when it's complete vent the vial with a pin and remove.
Bake at 160 for one hour.
It's the industry standard for depyrogenation of oils and glassware.

**broken link removed**

The hormone will not break down....

People have been baking IP's stuff for years to kill the pain.

Any gear obtained on the black market should be baked in my opinion to ensure its sterile.

Thanks for the info. How does the rubber stopper respond to this?

It gets a little soft but once it cool it's fine....if you try to vent the vial while it's in the oven the needle hub will melt...so just vent it when you remove it and then take out the pin...

Happens for me usually between 2-3 weeks after first shot. It lasts about 2-3 days and you get sore, sick, and sometimes a fever. Just rest while it occurs so it goes away fast.

The cause IMO is the body is natural defending itself from a foreign substance. If it didn't then your immune system might be questionable.

Interesting responses. So basically boiling or baking doesnt effect the testosterone??
What about the ether as the ether i have ( heptalyte ) is supposed to bind to more receptors, ie make the test more effective?

What about sticking it in a microwave with a needle through the stopper, would that be effective in diminishing the cause of the flu symptons??
If so, how long in it?

test flu

I always did test cyp back in the day and never ever got test flu just felt great and got big. More recently I tried some BD andropen and I got test flu for 1-2 days after every single shot. It sucked....just like being sick....but i thought that my body would adjust and get used to it or thru it but I could not. I had to stop and throw the rest out after 5 weeks. I do test enan all day long with no problems. I think it is the acetate ester that did it to me because cyp or enan no issues.

It's the alcohol man - not the ester (or it's comtaminated). There was apparently more in your andropens.

ever put metal in the microwave, it will spark and wreck your microwave and could catch fire, I always thought" Why not just bake it in the microwave, won't that kill any bacteria?" also, but not sure how to vent it or if the microwaves will change or break it off the ESTER. Anyone know?
