Question about lifting while on PREDNISONE?

[JG1]

Ask him to check your test levels. If your on both Cytoxin and Prednisone (like I was), more then likely your test level is low. I think mine was in the very low end of normal(300 i think, btw I'm 25 years old). He put me on 200mg test every two weeks untill I told him I could feel the test dropping by the middle of the second week, some more testing and he eventulay put me on 150mg/week of Cyp.

Hey Stiffler, been a while. Last time you posted that you had blood in your urine.

I think the best thing to do is follow the doctor's advise, if he allows you to train, then go ahead and train...you can definetely get stonger...and your muscles will get harder.

Good luck bro. Sorry to hear about your illness.

I remember that too. Dont have much to add here bro. Just glad you're doing better and getting in the gym again.

Stiffler! How's it going bro? I was wondering where you'd been hiding. I am terribly sorry to hear about the lupus bro. I missed you around here and am glad you're back at least. If there is anything I can do bro, please e-mail me even if it's just to talk or make fun of me or something.
I'm sorry I don't have more info to offer you right now but I sreiously think that you will bouncve back from this in no time. I also recommend talking to your doc about alternatives. Be sure to tell him that you're depressed and your libido is low - that will help convince him to put you on test more than likely. Push for the GH as well. Tell him you are very concerned about the muscle wasting. Good luck to you brother and I hope to hear from you soon.

Stiffler i believe deca used to be prescribed to combat the catabolic effects of cortisone(pred is a synthetic cort) i would ask my doc about that and if he says yes i dont see why you cant just add a little tes with it hee hee

also i have a little experience with people with lupus and have had people tell me that low dose deca makes a big difference when on the pred.

i have a strange theory that exogenic tes can cause significant decrease in lupus symptoms. pm me if you want to talk more about it.
