Just looking out

[crazyfmike]

Some of you know I had to abort my Blast due to low GFR and high RBC's.

I am coming right along improving everyday.

Most of you guys and gals too are fine, but blood work may not only improve your use and results of AAS, it may add many years to life if not save it.

Take it from a guy looked fine on the outside while the some mild damage was going on inside.

Be smart, pull Labs

Best post this year. I just wrote a 2-part article on this exact topic. It's ignored by way to many people.

At least quarterly, everyone should be checking the 3 cardiovascular health markers.

They are:

1.) Blood pressure.
2.) Lipids.
3.) Hematocrit (the percentage volume of RBC's in the blood)


Our cardiovascular health is the most important and neglected aspect of our health, as a steroid user. Steroids, especially oral AAS, can cause extreme damage to one's cardiovascular system, leading to consequences such as pre-mature heart attack and stroke. This happens to a LOT more people than most think. The number of retired BB'rs who have suffered or died from pre-mature heart attack or stroke are legion.

Most BB'rs will not suffer these consequences while still pursuing BB'ing, unless one is still using into their later 40's or 50's. The entire time a young BB'r is abusing AAS (All steroid using BB'rs abuse AAS, although we can take measures to greatly increase our odds of good health and long life, but few do), damage is being done. Usually, it is not until after the BB'rs is into his 40's or 50's, that he will experience the consequences of his actions. What might've not happened until our 70's or 80's (if ever) can happoen in our 40's or 50's PURELY because of AAS, particularly oral AAS.

What is considered dangerous RBC and hematocrit? Anything above top of range?

What is considered dangerous RBC and hematocrit? Anything above top of range?

Hematocrit basically is RBC, as hematocrit is simply the volume % of RBC's in the blood. The larger percentage of RBC's in the blood supply, the higher the hematocrit level.

When hematocrit gets too high, it thickens the blood and the heart has a more difficult time poumping blood throughout the body. It also increases the possibility of forming blood clots.

And blood clots are very bad! I've known guys to die from them that were not very old. Older folks need to be even more aware of the dangers.

 

[ChrisWho?]

High hemo scares the shit out of me. Good post Crazyfmike!

 

[brother bundy]

glad your doing better my brother

 

[jumpinjeff]

keep improving mike! and yes, people, pull bloods! i get bloods every 6 to 8 weeks whether i'm cruising or blasting. i'm only 30, but i've been keeping close track of this kind of thing for a while now and will continue to do so.

it really is the only way to do this shit people. far, far too many people never bother getting bloods pulled, never even learn what aas really do to them other than thinking about bloat, gyno, and acne. those are the least of your worries in reality, be fucking smart about this, its your body and you only get one.

 

[Spongy]

with the ability to get basic blood work for under 55 dollars this should be a no-brainer for all of us!

 

[ironpower]

good advice im going to take this more serious

 

[MeatHead96]

Good shit, bloodwork is very important. Health first.

 

[3D Separation]

it's great to hear you're doing good mike and posts like this are greatly appreciated by people like me, i like to know everything i can about everything haha

 

[crazyfmike]

Thanks my folks checking in.

We keep this a "we" thing and we'll all benefit

 

[hard2gain]

Great to see you're being smart CFMike! Health is always #1.

May I ask what steps you are taking to get levels back to normal? Just for future reference.
