Do roids screw with your immune systwm?

[crimson coal]

I am starting to get sick in the middle of my cycle and am wondering if roids screw with your immune system at all. Usually I can kick a cold easily but this one is way starting way down in my throat where i can barely cough the shit up. Not likin this abit!

I found that when ever I start to get sick and I am on a cycle I actually kick the cold faster. Normally a cold will last about a week with me but when I was on my last cycle of Test-Tren I started to get a cold and by the third day it was all gone. Weird

Actually AAS has been shown to improve immune response--HGH shows best improvement. If you are using something other than US Pharmaceutical grade, then the impurities may be wreaking havoc with your immune system.

I don't get sick much but the last two times I went on a cycle I got really sick and run down after about two weeks.I was on fina both times so I'm not quite sure if it is any differrent than test as far as immune boosting but it sure doesn't work for me.

I heard that d-bol is the worst on your immune system of any roid

Immune system

When I was on my second cycle ever, I went pretty heavy and stupid on Tes E and Deca and liquid d-bol and it crashed my immune system big time for several months. I have NEVER been so sick. I got everything from the flu to pnemonia. I think that may be a newbie type of deal because Deca is supposed to be good for your immune system I've heard and these days I can blast heavy and do fine.

well I have never had a problem before but I hav3e added dbol to this cycle so maybe thats it.

Products such as test and deca are actually beneficial for general health and immune system when used at small dosages.

It is very high dosages that may shock your system and regress its immunity from viruses and infections. More so if the products used contain some amount of bacterias.

This being said, the body's reaction from an overload of steroids will vary greatly from one individual to another.

I heard Sustanon could cause the flu.

Medically they do say steroids lower your immune system. I found this out the hard way. A little over a month after I left my stay at the hospital I tried a cycle to get back some of my lost strength. I got shingles. I researched hard on the shingles things on the web before I went to doctor to see if it was what it was. And that shit hurts like hell.

Well, they claimed on several sites that roids would lower the immune system, which would cause the shingles to occur. I read this in several places and also asked my doctor. From what I read and was told the answer is yes.

I know the medical profession will try and steer you away from anabolic use, and their arguments make sense to a sane man. Fortunately I am not sane. They usually have fact to back up their advise.

Farbeyond,

Where did you read that hormone therapy lowers the immune system?

If deca or testosterone (in low dosages) would lower immune system why would they be prescribed for aids patients?

Happy new year by the way.

Initially roids lower my immune system. Into my cycles I think they help. Try an expectorant for the mucus that you are having trouble gettin out of your lungs. Robitussin is great.

 

[swedish-meatball]

Testosterone is the first to lower imune system. But deca is a imune system booster...

From my experience AS helps your immune system, though I think the harsher ones (Anadrol, etc.) can lowser your resistance because they're just so hard on the bod.

Going off cycle is when I get sick -- like right now. I went off around the first of December and spent the month with a bad cold, sinus infection, and bronchitis.
