Red Face

[TX TERROR]

Re: RE: Re: Red Face

One of the reasons I always recommend regular blood donations for those that cycle. It's extremely important to keep your RBC and hematocrit from getting too high. The last thing you want is for your blood to start thickening which does happen over time with AAS use. That is what exponentially increases your risk of heart attack and stroke. It can even go up quite a bit just in one cycle, especially with compounds like EQ. For those that are on TRT and cruise, it also will rise with test levels that keep you at the high upper normal range or higher.

I religiously go every 8 weeks to give a pint of blood, and it does wonders for blood work. Besides that you are saving lives. It's a win win for everyone. I always feel like a million bucks after donating, and usually the next day have some of the best workouts.

Now would rbc eventually drop back down or since it's in the blood and that's already thicked, once it's up its up.

Just curious. I don't understand much about RBC and the negatives. Never gave it the time. Also what other methods exist in addition to giving blood?

I flush in the face from time to time. Completely random

Today so far is not as bad as yesterday... however it's still early. Yesterday I woke up with red face and it continued throughout the day. I did dose Aromasin last night so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. I will start paying attention to see if there is any relation to my Aromasin dosing protocol as I'm wondering if it's related to estrogen.

Rick do you just check no to all the boxes about needles and stuff?

Yes, you have to obviously lie during those questions. The questions are asked because of them being cautious with anyone that has used needles without a doctors care, obviously with a risk of infection to the blood. They do not care about the AAS itself, as it causes no threat to the recipient. You are talking about less than 10% of whatever concentration was in your bloodstream considering your body holds 10 pints and you are only giving one. Once it is given to a recipient, it is further diluted by their own blood. The only thing they test for and what they are concerned with is infectious diseases.

Once you come off of a blast, RBC and hematocrit can drop to some degree, but it will still normally be elevated to a higher level than when you started. This becomes a problem when you run cycle after cycle and those values get higher and higher. Another thing that further complicates it, is what you do between cycles or blasts. If you PCT and come off, it's the best thing for your blood as you will make a better impact on lowering those values. If you cruise, your cruising dose can determine if those values come down or go up. Most guys cruise to where their test values are in the upper normal range or even higher. This is a problem because basically your RBC and hematocrit just keep rising and rising. Guys that never come off and cruise at high doses are playing with fire. I know a guy personally that died two years ago for not blasting and cruising responsibly. He would cruise with like 500mg test, and did this for over 20 years. He had a massive heart attack and died at 46. He was a very big and very shredded dude, but in the end look what it got him. If he would have cruised at like 200mg with enough time between blasts and gave blood regularly it would have completwly changed his fate.

He would have to get a doctors order for a phlebotomy to basically dump a pint of blood if he had abnormal blood values.

"Used needles without a doctor's care". So I do TRT rxed by the doc. Would that count as under a doctor's care? Or would it be smart to just put no on all of it? Obviously there would be more in there. But technically it's under a doc lol

That is under a doctors care as part of your trt script. So you would still answer no to using needles without being under a docs care

Real talk. My future wife just moved from outside of Dallas, Bedford to be exact. Last time I was there was in July and I thought I had melted.

I always have red face. It's no big deal, but you can always tell when I'm embarrassed lol. Just make sure the issue isn't BP related and you're good .

I feel you bro. Same exact thing with me. It's not a big deal then.

I recently did blood work and my Estradiol was high @ 58.7. I increased my Aromasin to 12.5mg ed and after about 3-4 days the redness and flushing has gone down considerably.

 

[cbbram00]

Cruising on TRT dosage now (200mg) no red face anymore...

Well at least you know the culprit now. You seem to be more estrogen sensitive than most, so you may need to maintain a higher dose in the future
