Muscle gain while on Prendisone???

[Serenity Head]

You are not in a very good situation. Increasing you protein intake would make no sense considering that it can't be used to syn. new muscle. Workout, but keep them short and sweet. Get in, get out. Then after treatment try a mild....and I mean mild stack to try and gain so size. A big stack won't help you cause you will loose it all after its over. You need to watch what you eat. Not much of a choice bro, you will have a lot of work after all this is over.

Oh fuck me... this does not sound good.

How long is your treatment cycle? I have spent long durations on prednisone (upto 80mg daily) and I can tell you that I felt pretty good, no aches or pains, but I did put on a lot of water weight and had an increase in apetite. I also got sick a lot since it hampers the immune system. Gains for me were far and few between while on that high of a dose which I was at for many months. At half that, and for a shorter duration effects should be less dramatic.

I would not advise working out while taking prendisone. Just take it untill you can get off and come back full strength. Prendisone will increase your chances of getting a cold or flu. Working out would only make your immune system have to work that much harder.

Good luck!

just take some var with it, or maybe some growth

This sucks what happens if say you were on anabolics and were taking prendisone at the same time? What would happen? Would it stop the wasting of muscle mass at all?

 

[nice6pac]

yes thats in part what anavar is for tehy give testosterone to cushign syndrome patients

Well..... it has been 3 days. My symptoms of colitis are pretty much gone (that's awesome). I have noticed a huge increase in energy although my doctor says it is false so to try not to let it fool me into thinking that I have endless energy. I havn't noticed any mood swings yet. I did seem a little restless last night trying to get to sleep though.

There is also an increase in appetite.. nothing tremendous though. I seem to be starting to show some water retention around the face and my mucles seem kind of flaccid.. you'de think the water retention would make them tighter.. oh well.

I'm going to go to the gym for very quick workouts mabye concentrate on Very high weight low rep to see if I can try to keep my strenght up.

I'm only on 45mgs a day for 6 weeks and actually as of tomorrow my doctor said he's going to start a dosage reduction. So I'll slowly be tapering off... hopefully I won't see many more symptoms.

I may ask my doctor about prescribing me anavar as losing muscle mass in detrimental to my mental health

Yeah, Prednisone will cause an increase in energy levels; sometimes almost manic in nature, and can cause insomnia and sleep disturbances.
Good luck w/ the colitis, the taper is important, follow the doc's protocol.

I dont think at that dose, especially if starting to taper off you will have anything to worry about, dont count on your doc prescribing var. I would just keep working out, make sure to wash hands alot and avoid rubbing face to reduce chance of getting sick.
