AAS and Death

[Swole_2112]

I'm writing this post to get the thoughts of all those that read it.

About a decade ago, a friend of mine (whom I did not know at the time), God rest his soul, began cycling AAS and did so for multiple cycles (duration and dosage of cycles unknown). A little less than a year before I met him, he suffered from a mild to moderate stroke. Even though he did suffer from a blood clotting disorder (and considered it to be the primary cause), he couldn't discount the AAS as contributing to the occurance of the stroke as well. A couple of years after the occurance of the stroke he developed leukemia and died. Very sad, of course. Though I don't know the particulars, I would assume that his doctors attributed his leukemia and subsequent death to his blood clotting disorder. However, I can't help but wonder what kind of part the AAS played in his stroke and development of leukemia, if any. Did they help it along? Would he have lived a long, healthy life, stroke free, if he had never done a cycle? Did the cycles contribute in no way, whatsoever? And, could the cycles have, in some strange way, prolonged his life? These are questions that not I, nor anyone else, will ever have the answers to. Still, one can't help but wonder. Any thoughts?

i wouldnt take AAS if i knew i had a blood clotting disorder

 

[mikefear]

If he was pre-disposed to having a stroke, thickening of the blood could exacerbate the risk. Did AAS directly cause any of this? probably not..especially not the liukemia.

This is why AAS is recommend for HEALTHY adult males.

There are way too many things that could ahve caused his demise.. AAS was probably not one of them.

Apparently fit, healthy people keel over and die distressingly often. Doctors often are unable to do much more than shrug their shoulders and accept that people do, sometimes, "just die".

Sorry for your loss.

same here. Its very probable that the AAS thickened his blood more and caused problems due to him having the disorder. so , AAS aggravated the disorder, and the disorder caused the stroke, IMO most likely.

Leukemia, now thats a complete different story and that was probably just something that happened.

 

[bilter]

strokes are not always the result of a clott. some are cuased by a weakening of (or weak from the start) vein in the brain that lets go. What was the cause of his stroke? I would think if he was diagnosed with a clotting problem it was treatable and aas use tends to reduce blood clotting not contribute to it

 

[Ulter]

If there is a link no one has ever found it. So I'd say no, it didn't have any contribution to his death.

I think you answered your own question my friend.

He had severe health issues completely unrelated to his AS use.

I dont think having leukemia and a blood clotting disorder are synonymous with a long, healthy life.

This is another post that should wake up the newbies to get blood tests and physicals before hitting gear and getting annual and post cycle check-ups. If people have unique health problems in the first place they shouldn't be running gear. Just my 2cc's.
