Hey guys so Ive been sick with "colds" off and on for the majority of this year nothing too bad that i couldnt shake off within a few days. Last thursday however I was feeling really shitty with a uncontrollable cough so I went to the walk in, the doc diagnoses me with bronchitis and gives me an asthma inhaler. Come saturday my condition has worsened a bit so my g/f and mom convince me to go back to the doctor. I get xrays and it shows up i have pneumonia. Get a script for biaxin take it twice puke my brains out. Sunday back to the doctor 6 hr wait later i get a new script.
So here's the question
Im currently 12 weeks into 1200mg t400 and 900mg eq/wk as well as 4iu GH/day. Do you guys think I should drop all the gear or ride it out? The cycle has been awesome so far and I really dont want to get off just yet but the pneumonia is really beating the piss out of me My stats are 6' 260lbs not sure on b/f but under 15% for sure.
If anyone has any related experience or guidance i greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

I would taper off it bro and come off. Glad you went in and got checked out. The exact same thing happened to that IFBB pro Desmon Miller and he had to get put into an induced coma for a few weeks. We all know AAS will lower the immune system, so to get full benefit of the antibiotics I think coming of may help you get over it faster. I have a feeling I may be in the same boat and am going to get checked out tomorow.

I hit it hard with teh sauce and got a horrible flu/cold etc and then was good for another month then a 2 week cold. I have no idea what to do other than take less shit and grow less I guess?? iono bein sick ain't getting it done.
taper down and run a low dose test......if you stop too quickly you will get worse.....id stay on the gh at that dose tho.....send me everything else ...i will test it out to make sure it isnt the gear thats making you sick..... ;) get well soon....being sick on cycle blows

I personally don't' see any diffidence with gear, but what ever they say, i'm sure solid, for ME id just not change.... hell, i was in hospital for a week, and i didnt' say shit on gear use as they'd blame right away and finally they found the real problem

**** i guess the mature thing to do would be to taper off, hopefully the GH keeps me in some kind of shape while i cant eat or train properly.
thanks alot guys.

like tex said dont go off completely.. keep a low dose test.. in november i was on and got the worst strep throat i have ever had.. i got off cuz i didnt know what to do and they had me on penicillin.. next thing i know i actually got so much worse and was adviced by a few people i respect in this regard and they told me to get back on.. so i got back on and stuck with the antibiotics and i got better.. still lost 12lbs so i was pissed but you just gotta work through it.. i just got sick again right before im about to start again so now i gotta postpone it a week or so.. it sucks..

Hey bro. I caught pnuemonia 16 weeks out from a show last year. Was rushed in on ambulance and hospitalized for 2 days. I just stopped taking supplements for a week and was ok to get back in the gym after about 7 days. Just forget about the gear for a bit... if your anything like I was, I didn;t have an appetite or energy anyways... just lay in bed and rest up bro. It took me about a month before I was fully recovered back to 100%. I lost about 10 lbs, which was just water anyways, and continued my deit regularly after the week rest.

take care bro
Just take sometime for some good Bed rest then once you feel better then take your gear again,my frined at the gym had it,it was only 2 week without a shot,but then again he was on long ester won't make a major difference.

That's brutal, I've been laid up with just a regular cold for about a week now and I feel like pure garbage. I don't think I could handle pneumonia.

Bro,
strange enough....I am at Week 17 of T400 @1200mg and 600mg Deca/wk and 5iu GH/day. I have had 4 colds during this time and 1 of them worked into pneumonia. I thought it was just me, but this seems like more than coincidence.
I stayed on the gear through the pneumonia (had to take a week off working out).....I was WAY too exhausted to train while I was sick. Been a great run, but I am usually the guy who never gets sick .

way too weird man...i also am the guy who never gets sick maybe a small cold once a year. I decided to stay on the gear too im on long esters so it doesnt make much difference anyways. Im on the 3rd day of levaquin and feel a hell of alot better than yesterday.
