Is it just me or have any of you had this happen? I'm on my second cycle now, but on my first cycle, I noticed every now and then my hands would start tingling, like they fell asleep. I did dbol, deca, test ena., is this normal?     | ||

Very normal for me. I asked about it and it's not that big of a deal. I guess it has to do with water retention. Later, Green | ||

Hey I am glad you said something. I am doing a dbol,deca,test, and A50 cycle and my hands are doing the same thing. A hell of a lot of water retention. Gained 15 pounds in the first couple of days. | ||

I'm glad this seems to be a normal reaction, I've never read anything about tingling sensation as a side effect, but at least I'm not the only one. I did have a lot of water retention because I gained over 30 pounds on the cycle. | ||

Some of the milder side effects of roids include limbs feeling like they're asleep, maybe due to thickening of blood, or possibly even water retention, although I've never heard limb numbness linked to this. Water retention is obvious though, as your face, ass, and belly are the first to get it. If you still look lean, you may be agitating a blood clot. Also it's possible where your muscles stay in a constant pump and hardness, you could be sitting or lying where your muscles are staying too tense, and cutting off circulation. Keep in mind too, Aspirin thins arteries, so taking this along with roids can increase your chances of anerism, or a blood vessel exploding in your brain. But hey, it helps thin blood. I'd personally rather drink a beer. BUT, just drink a SHITLOAD of water, piss alot, and if you sleep right and eat right, you shouldn't gain any water, especially if you're on a Deca cycle. This is my favorite roid by the way, and probably the only I will ever do. It gives me adequate results, and it's pretty much the best roid as far as effectiveness vs side effects go, in my opinion. I guess I'm just not hardcore, plus I don't desire to be ungodly huge and strong, I just want to look great and feel great. All roids cause hemolysis, which is the increased # of red blood cells, or thick blood. Just keep an eye on blood pressure once every couple days at your local Wal-Mart BP machine and you should be OK. Don't take scolding hot baths or showers, as this can cause blood to coagulate also. Most people overlook these things, but they are very serious. Some roids like Deca also make it difficult to get a full, deep breath at times, and cardio should be avoided in great volume due to possible heart enlargement. But the worst thing you can do while on gear is to get NO exercise except the actual weight training. Run at least 5-10 mins a day, just don't act like you're training for a marathon. You have plenty of time to get cut after your cycle. As long as you break a good sweat and don't get your heart rate soaring, you did well. The largest I ever go on cycles are 400mg for 8 weeks of Deca. It gives me all the strength and mass I need, lean mass at that. I take a shot on Monday, and a shot on Thursday, each of 200mg. This may not seem like much, but it doesn't take that much, especially for me. Think about all these things before you take your buddy's advice and do 1g test a week stacked with who knows what. Hope this helps. Good luck. | ||

With respect,I disagree. Most AS THIN the blood, IE: Prolong the Protime/Inr.. In other words, one of the most common sides for many AS is a longer blood clotting time(had any nosebleeds?). I take Warfarin/Coumadin a common "blood thinner" and must adjust my dose down when "on". I do agree that The nueropithetic symptoms Mentioned(the two outside fingers on my left hand are still numb from my last cycle)are related to Water retention. | ||

Good to hear that blood doesn't thicken like they say. I was really worried about that. Thanks for the clarification, and now maybe on my next cycle I won't wig out so bad. HEHE. But anyway, just to be sure, is Deca on of the roids that causes blood clotting? By the way, I've never had any nose bleeds. LOL | ||
