All,
I ran Rad140 (40mg) ED and GW1516 (20mg) ED for 12 weeks.
I completed that cycle on May 22nd. Then I immediately started liquid Nolva for 30 days at 20mg ED
In mid July I had the above blood work completed (so approximately 8 weeks after I finished the cycle). I also requested Testosterone, but they screwed up that sample and so I had to go back in and give them more blood to redo that test yesterday.

Should I be concerned about the 5 tests that came back abnormal?
On the cycle I lost 70 lbs. I'm now 5'11" and weight 153lbs. I'm about 15% body fat. I upped by bench from 100lbs to 155lbs while on the cycle, and I've been able to maintain that after the cycle. I feel great, except I have 3 concerns: 1. When I sleep at night, my arms/fingers tend to tingle and burn alot and wake me up at night. 2. I'm peeing ALOT more than I use to. I've never had to get up in the middle of the night and pee, now I'm getting up three or 4 times in the middle of the night. I've always been a heavy water drinker, and I'm not drinking water anymore now than I was. 3. I'm EXTREMELY fatigued. My muscles feel weak from the moment I wake up till I go to bed. I just have 0 energy. I usually take a caffine pill daily about 20-30 min before my workout, so I can complete my workout. I am able to complete my workouts and workout hard.

Some other things I just thought about:
I've been on a 1600 calorie diet throughout the cycle, 40% protein, 40% carbs, 20% fat. and I haven't cheated at all since I started that diet in February. It's all logged in myfitnesspal. I weigh everything. whole foods... lean meats, fruit, and veggies only.
my blood pressure yesterday: 93/65 and pulse rate: 70
Other things I've noticed is that my hair and nails are growing much slower than normal.
Last, I've noticed that I get dizzy headed when I stand up fast. That lasts for about 5-10 sec, and then I'm fine. I never get dizzy otherwise.


Does anyone have any thoughts? Are these abnormal values expected after AAS... will they stabilize? Is there anything I should take/do to correct them? Or should I just go see a Doc?
Thanks for your help!

Awesome. I hope he does too. I'd prefer to have some feedback from folks on here before going to a dr (if that's what I end up having to do). And prefer to stay away from the Dr's if at all possible =)

Theres someone else here that will even diagram you a chart according to your blood test. I cant remember who that is.
 
Im high in iron all the time. I think high protein too

Is the high iron causing you to be very lethargic as well? Do you do anything to lower it?


So Ive read that my high BUN levels are likely due to my high protein diet. So I'm ok with that one.
Still unclear on the causes for the rest of them... and just need to get rid of this lethargy.
 
Imo i think its worth digger deeper into this.. High bun means stress on kidneys. You're admittingly peeing excessively. Low iron capacity means your rbc's are being destroyed early.
Im not an expert in kidneys. But did go through cancer treatment so i understand a bit about blood tests

Hope someone more qualified responds.
 
My doctor thinks it***8217;s from high protein. But I don***8217;t know my iron was always high. Don***8217;t know if I***8217;m having side effect but a lot of the time I***8217;m lethargic as is

Thanks for your help!

are you taking any meds? what about recreational drugs? those can affect your issues as well.
