from the little bit of info it sounds like your having some sort of problem with your circulation. Having cold hands and nose is a major bad sign, that means it is likely do to a central problem not peripherial. Not to scare you or anything I doubt your in a lifethreatining state but I would strongly advise getting to a doctor asap. Do you know how the eca stack works? The cafine and ephedrine are stimulants, they increase your metabolic rate by stimulatind the release of epinephrine and norepinephrine. The aspirin is a blood thinnner and increases the rate of flow of blood through out the body, dispersing chemicals and what not quicker. This stack can aggrivate an existant medical condition, angina, high blood pressure etc but is unlikely to cause a new one. Either way I suggest medical advise as soon as possible. rocko [This message has been edited by rocko (edited April 09, 2000).] IP: Logged |

E2, I'm taking metacuts by Metaform (eca). Taking in about 150g carbs(no starches) 190g of protein,(chicken, fish, turkey, occassional red meat, tuna) 50-75g of fat. Not taking any AS. About 2500 calories. I wouldn't say that I'm dieting, I just stay lean year round. I,ve had back surgery and shoulder surgery both within four months of each other. I notice that when I gain weight my back tends to give me some problems. I'm 6'2" 210lbs. When I start to get up around 215lbs, it's usually not good weight, so it seems to aggravate my back. I,ve been eating oatmeal for the past month for breakfast and lunch, but recently stopped because when I would wake up in the morning I would wegh in at 210lbs. Then about a half hour later I would be at 215lbs. Then after I workout and get my cardio in later in the day, just befor bedtime I'm back at 210lbs. These weight fluctuations can't be good for my back?? Is this maybe what the problem is with the coldness in my hands, feet, and nose??? PLEASE HELP!! THANKS, --HARDWORK-100MPH IP: Logged |

you need to go to the doctor there are just way too many possible causes the most likely though being an adverse reaction to the stimulants, an allergic reaction to the herbs in the stimulants and possibley that you might have reynauds disease- which means that certain things- like stimulants- cause you blood vessels to contract and reduce blood flow to your extremeties. however that being said, there are a lot of other possibilities- restricted blood flow can be a serious problem- you really should go to the doctor- ------------------ IP: Logged |

MAC, Do you think that my diet is all right? I did notice that when I am taking in starchy carbs that the coldness and blood flow does seem to get a little better, maybe the metacuts isn't absorbed quite as easily when I eat foods such as rice and oatmeal?? I have also noticed that when I wake up in the morning I'm ok, but after I take my first four metacuts, the problem does get worse. Ive also been drinking alot of pineapple juice, does the nat. sugar in the juice have an effect with no blood flow?? It seems that sugar may restrict my blood flow, A couple days ago I ate some cinnamon and sugar covered almonds after supper, the next day I had no veins when working out. The thermostat was set at 65 degrees in my gym today and it takes me 10min to start sweating when running on the treadmill. Even when I am sweating my hands and nose are cold as shit. It's almost like a cold sweat. Right now its 12:00am, my thermostat is set at 70degrees I have no coldness anywhere and my veins are actually sticking out everywher just sitting here typing. When I was taking hydroxy cuts about a month ago, the problem wasn't as bad. But it was definately still happening. Maybe the meta-cuts by Metaform has something in it that I am not accustomed to like you said. I mean shit!! aren't the eca stacks supposed to increase my blood flow and body temp??? I am currently taking 4 meta-cuts when I wake up then another four before lunch then another two about an hour later before I workout. With the hydroxy cut I was taking 4 when I wake up 4 before lunch 4 before workout. Thats about all I can thinof, like thats not enough ha! ha! Oh yeah, I'm not taking any AS right now. Maybe it's just a combo of my diet and the eca??? I don't know!!! Mac, if you need any more info lwet me know. THANKS MAN!! --HARDWORK-100MPH IP: Logged |

first if you are going to stack you should use REAL ECA- this is how you find out if you are allergic- if the effects persist then it is not allergy related. if you are not eating starchy carbs it COULD affect your blood sugar levels, in addition stimulants increase you insulin sensitity- so if you eat high glycemic index carbs you may get an insulin spike which, because of your increased insulin sensitivity may result in low blood sugar. BACK PAIN- second- make sure that you work you entire trunk abs and spinal erectors and all the obliques, intercostals etc. ------------------ IP: Logged |

REAL EPHEDRINE HCL 25MG- DYMETADRINE IS ONE BRAND THOUGH YOU CAN PROBABLY FIND IT A THE GAS STATION OR ORDER IT OVER THE NET NO PROBLEM- I PREFER PURE EPHEDRINE HCL BUT IT IS HARDER TO GET BECUASE PEOPLE MAKE METH OUT OF IT. REAL CAFFIENE- BUY THE 200MG TABLETS OVER THE NET- SOME PLACES SELL 1000 FOR 40$ ASPIRIN 200-300MG - LOCAL FOOD STORE ------------------ IP: Logged |

each of the above ingredients 2 or 3 times a day depending on your tolerance. dymetadrine can be found mailorder- it may be available at GNC it is made by AST you usually can get ephedrine at gas stations though- there are sometimes reffered to as mini thins. caffeine you should buy mail order becuase it is cheaper but GNC should carry some or even you local grocery or drug store- drug store will probably be cheaper ------------------ IP: Logged |
