connective tissue disease

[HITTER]

Doc, I have been diagnosed with connective tissue disease.......My muscles and joints are not holding up as well as I would have hoped for.....I am a 37 year old man who wrestled in college (hwt) and I have always been fairly athletic.....no heart trouble, lungs are good....Bp is average...I am on Coumadin and celebrex...no other meds for my disease.......

Do I risk anything more than the average guy if I do a light cycle? Test E and maybe some tren? Nothing over the top.....like 500mg or less a week of the test and easy on the tren?

I understand if you don't answer.......if you can't for whatever reason, could you point me in a good direction so I can find out for myself?


Thanks either way, Dave

I'd say to be sure go and see a GP. Doctors have your health as their number one priority, remember that. Test is usually the way to go for a first cycle and 500mg EW is plenty. Actually, with your condtion, I'd say 200mg EW would be more than enough. Perhaps even 150mg. You don't want a rapid gain in weight/strength with weakened connective tissue. Nonetheless, make sure you have some nolvadex on hand in case you start developing gyno.

Ask your doctor about deca-durabolin. Deca is supposed to be the best steroid on your joints, and I've heard of many guys getting rid of chronic joint injuries (shoulders, knees, ankles, etc.) while on a cycle of deca. BUT deca can fuck up your erectile function (deca actually inhibits spermatogenesis), so IF you decide to take deca you MUST take it together with test AND you need to take more test than deca. For example, 200mg EW test, 100mg EW deca. BUT I wouldn't recommend deca on your first cycle.

But, I'd say go talk to your doctor and he'll tell you what would be best. Don't just rely on forums and unqualified friends.

Do you risk more? I'd say yes, since this will make you gain a LOT of weight really quickly, so I think you should probably take a lower dose since you don't want to rupture a tendon carrying all that extra weight and lifting more in the gym too. Again, go TALK TO A DOCTOR. They're here to help...

thanks for that.......The last cycle I did was just before I got sick. It was test E and tren. I had alot of success with that one except for the damned disease popping up (blood clots from flying back to the states from Tijuana got it diagnosed)....I have had a few muscle tears that I attribute to the disease......so I will definately be sensitive to added stress and strain.....I was thinking of lifting in a really therapeutic way.......using only moderate weight, increasing reps and not poundages.....and cardio with more cardio when I got done with the cardio!

Thank you again for taking the time to post......I will definately be smart about what I do with this, not trying to punch my ticket sooner than I have to....lol
