polycythemia.............

Is it a permanent thing, or would it cease once you stopped using testosterone...?

Or... I don't know, donate blood?

It's the technical name for a temporary condition, that can have a permanent cause. In the case of AAS, yes - your hemoglobin should return to normal once the exogenous hormones cease telling your red bone marrow to go apeshit.

If you're not donating, you should be. You'll know before they draw the blood, as they test hemoglobin as part of the screening process.

Yep donate to lower it.

Are you on TRT or cycling?

I think that lifespan of a RBC is around 120 days and it does lower itself after coming off AAS, so can still be elevated post cycle.

Elevated RBC = Vascularity, fulless, good pumps ad possibly depending on how high increased BP and obviously it is meaning your blood is thicker = increased cardiac pressure.

Yeah I have all those symptoms. However I thought vascularity and fullness is pretty common when u cycle test.

Elevated RBC will add to the effect of vascularity and fulless along with an increase in appetite which seems to be dependant on the individual... in addition to the effects androgens/estrogens can have on muscle fullness and glycogen.

AAS work through multiple mechanisms besides just purely increasing the rate of protein synthesis in the body via the androgen receptor.
