Do I have what is considered 'Test Flu'?

[Trainforyourself123]

Hi everyone, I'm on my first Test Enanthate Cycle - started on monday.
So far I have pinned 200mg on Monday, and 150mg yesterday (Thursday)

2 days after my first pin i felt a bit off, warm, sweaty feet, and very anxious, also slight pounding head sometimes a bit lightheaded, but nothing too bad, only comes up 24/48 hours after - Just makes slightly ill, and the same happened today, a day after my last pin. Could this be my body getting used to the hormone changes, what is commonly reffered to as 'test flu'?

Lab is Orbis Labs - quite reputable, injections always go in fine, not much pip or pain at all.

Thanks guys.

It's possible. But if the symptoms don't go away in a few days, might want to get checked out to make sure it's not something else. There are a few other things that can bring about those symptoms, like hypoglycemia (diabetes/pre-diabetes).

Yup!! Good call

OP, the 'test flu' feels exactly like a regular flu, same symptoms and could last a week or more.

It doesnt last that long, maybe 2 hours, i feel hot then cold and sweaty, head pounds slightly, then it goes away, no other health issues such as diabetes known of.

Think its just my body reacting to the foreign substance

Sounds like an anxiety/panic attack to me

^^^^nailed it...was gonna say same thing. I think your heads playing with you being its your first cycle. Just sit back ..relax and enjoy

I think you're right to be honest mate, ive suffered anxiety and panic attacks my whole life. I think now im on the juice i have something to blame it on, i took 2 diazepams earlier and now feel fine.

I'm still unsure how someone can mix feeling sick/test flu with anxiety? Anxiety and the flu are nothing alike...

It sounds like you may have anxiety bro, you know your body best though.

Ok we figured it out!! Ya thats def what it is especially due to the fact youve suffered from this for a long time. Testosterone might actually help you with this issue. Are you running an AI with this cycle?

 

[Trainforyourself123]

Well I have arimidex/nolva on hand.

I was planning on running Arimidex Every 2 days from week 2, seen as the test will have kicked in by then, but some people are telling me to only use an AI if i get gyno

Blood tests are the only way to truly know buddy, but those dosages you are taking are very low.

I'd be surprised if you need an AI on 350mg Test a week - but for peace of mind you might want to take 0.25mg Adex E3D.

I'd definitely recommend a mid-cycle blood test if you decide to go without, just to see where you are.
