X2 and lots of water

My best advice to combat it would be to taper up. If you start on a fairly large dose of test in the first week you don't know how your gonna react. If you start of low and gradually go up in 2/3 weeks then you should avoid it. Although some may still get it but it shouldn't be half as bad due to dose.

How often does this even occur? I rarely hear about it and never experienced it myself. Just curious.

Probably because you have been lucky enough to have used sterile, bacteria free, NON high BA or BB concetrated anabolics up to this point. Test flu, which is complete bullshit, are the aches and pains..fever..and all around shitty feeling you get when your body is trying to fight off an extreme amount of either bacteria or solvent in the oil. Some esters may leave you sore but you really should never be feeling sick or crippled from something. I mean whats the point of taking something if you are too sick to eat properly and train hard?

Thanks for the input. This makes sense. And I agree if you feel ill from doing it then it seems a bit counterproductive. I'd rather not use test or any AAS for that matter than feel like I have the damn flu!

so test flu = dirty gear?

 

[dukkitdalaw]

mega dosing Vit C.

ever since I have started doing so I havent gotten "test flu" or sick, period.

NO......this is just one mans idiotic opinion

"test flu"....or whatever the fook you wanna call it
happens to me the first few weeks.....after an off period
i think it may be due to just simply......hormone change

after a few weeks it stops for me....same dose, same gear

it seems after hormone levels stabilize, its much less apparent

NOW......that being said
there IS the other side to the coin

what some chalk up as "test flu"......really IS dirty or over solvented gear
which can and will cause SOME of the same effects

but

its NOT the same

the difference is.......dirty and/or over solvented
gear will give you "flu-like" symtoms
WITH EVERY SINGLE SHOT, and is usually accompanied by a sore
swollen, hot, maybe even red welty looking site

this is from my extensive experience
and therfore......this is MY idiotic opinion

Reading down and was just about to write something similar so you beat me to it. But yours would have sounded better anyway. Always enjoy reading your posts.

who on earth told you that?!

an influx of exogeneous hormones is enough to trigger an immune response.

x2.. ^^^this

a while ago I ran test decanoate, and I just did 2 cc's once per week.. sometimes every 10 days.. and occasionally i would get aches and pains.. nothing ibuprofen cannot fix.

 

[tjs114]

I go through an "acclimation" period for a few days with both test and tren then everything smooths out. I use only HG test and make my own tren. In my case, at least, it has nothing to do with bacteria or solvents since after a few days I get over all symptoms and feel great.

Heard of sus flu- but not tes flu. Had some swollen nodes and lethargic on sus for a week but enan never gave me issue.

 

[RINO]

When I start up I get this too .Try not doing it all in one shot and spread it out throughout the week....this works very well for me.If that doesn't work try ibuprofen for a few days after your shot.
