Let me say that aas used responsibly poses very few health concerns and can enhance the quality of life of many adults.
Unfortantly due to aas being illegal I used tren as my drug of choice in my novice days. Now granted I did abuse this drug to a point but hindsite is 20/20. The problem is that tren lowered my imune sytem to a point that I was operating like an aids patient. To this day my imune system has still not fulled recovered, and this is why I am seeing an internal specialist.
I wish that the public, media, gov. could understand that certain aas has a purpose in life. I did not decied to use aas until later in my 20's. I had been lifting for 4 years and had finally hit a peek in my goals. I was destroying my kidneys with constent use of creatine in an attempt to gain more weight. When I was 19 years old I weighed 130 pound at 5'11, my chest was inverted, my strength was pathetic, and my sex drive was slower then most guys that I knew.
As a male adult I simple did not enjoy they way I looked or felt. Now if I were a women I could have gone to the doctor and simple ask for bigger breasts, but as a male I had few options. It would have been nice to be able to talk to a doctor and be prescribed some primo, low test or anavar to help gain some weight, strength and confidence. This alone could have helped prevent some of my health problems or completly elimante them.
Understand I am blaming noone for troubles, but it baffles me how we are a society driven by image and looks. You can pickup any People mag. these days and read about the latest new radical plastic surgery. From Botox to facelifts everyone is cashing in on the new craze of alternatives to looking better.
But what about us, what about the men and women on these boards that simple want to change their life through the gym and hardwork. I do not drink (only wine) or use recreational drugs or smoke nicotine., and most men and women on these boards are very much the same. Our vice in life is the love of self improvement through hard work and dedication.
As for the STD I discussed the painful urination with my GF. She cryed her eyes out and said if I ever hurt you I could not live with myself. She has only had sex with 2 partners and one was a long time BF. The only problem is he cheated on her. But I am thinking it is a number of factors including the high amounts of protein I took last month and possible dyhrydration.
I wish you all the best, I have learned more on this board in 2 years medically then I ever learned in bio and chem., It has truely been a pleasure.
