Muscle Weakness/Pain/Rip Effect - Prednisone Like

I’m new here. I’ve taken stuff for a while on and off. It seems like anytime I take anything now, like a day or days after I’ll get this bad side effect like my muscles are going to rip off the bone. Or get a tear. It’s not what I would call cramping. But something bad. The best I can compare it to is like if I took too much Prednisone in the past. Prednisone is a strong anti inflammatory steroid legally prescribed for various health issues. It can cause severe cramping and muscle weakness.

So obviously things like var, dbo, eq, etc… Aren’t that. And never gave me those sides in the past. I’m not taking Prednisone. But now when I take any of those I get an effect similar to that. And I can’t train. Get really weak and have to stop taking it. I tried going off for a month. Still there. Another. Still there again… I’m just like BEGGING and hoping someone has heard of this before. And can suggest something or what takes care of it so I can do it and get back to being on again.

Also I tested different batches. Same thing. Test still is fine. Thinking about trying hgh as it shouldn’t be in the same class of things and not cause the same effect. Although it’s extremely expensive and I can’t do much.

Also if anyone can recommend anything else I can try or use alternatively. I had no luck finding SARMs. I use naps site.

It would be a life saver if anyone could help me on what to do to reverse the problem. I’ve tried taurine. And more things all along the cramping route. But maybe not everything. I just want to know what it is and how to combat this.

Also to note, when I stop those compounds, the muscle weakness stops and goes back to normal. I’m early 30’s and have only done small to medium doses for a few years on and off. I’m in love with this and don’t want to go back to full natty anytime soon. I’d at least like to be able to take some light or small doses to keep getting progress in the gym and looking how I’m accustomed to now.

Maybe just stop taking stuff that makes you feel like shit?

Test by itself likely doesn’t cause this side effect, and is a lot safer than just about anything else you’re taking.

I thought this was a place of knowledge and help on the subject. Guess I’ll have to look elsewhere…

You really didn’t provide adequate information. What specifically for example were you taking the last time you had this problem? What compounds, in what dosages and for how long? How long after starting did you see symptoms? Am I reading correctly that this was mostly with orals? Did you get any labs taken during this high side effect period?

None of the compounds you list convert to e2, if you’re taking them alone then maybe that’s part of your issue? You didn’t really mention how you use them or whatever.

Many of the items you listed also affect your liver, CBC, lipids, kidneys, have you had any of these tested? What were the results? Do you have any labwork at all on just test alone?

Your solution is really simple, just stop taking the stuff that makes you feel like shit. If you want to understand why it’s happening, get the labs run and see what’s off. Run the experiment, test your hypothesis, report your results

I should have caught this earlier. This is why AAS use gets a bad name. It sounds innocent enough on its’ face, but in reality most people with this mentality won’t respect their off cycle time safely and end up dead in their late 30’s/early 40’s.

On a different note: how the fuck can you find AAS but not SARMs?

To this Andrew dude. You sound elitist and like a negative idiot. See your way out. You’ve also provided zero help. Neither has anyone else. But they weren’t inherently negative. Instead they asked questions to possibly be more helpful. Andrew I guarantee I’m stronger than you by a lot. And you don’t look impressive. Just stay out. You’re nothing I would like or respect. And it makes it more bad when you offer no advice. Plenty of gear makes people feel like “shit”. In fact fouad abiad said it all made him feel worst his whole career, unless he was in the gym. Essentially everything made him feel like shit. And every drug ever, comes with side effects.

And I did mention names of things. Perhaps everyone is open and doesn’t know the abbreviations. I thought this was a place of knowledge. Apparently there’s so much ridiculousness here, I’m better off going to my local gym bro and getting advice. Or should pay and go to an expert. No wonder this forum is so dead. One simple question. Gets minimum replies. And basic English didn’t get through. Swoops offered some great advice. I guess I need a bigger audience or more knowledge with someone this has happened before and how to fix it.

Bro… I asked you relevant questions which you ignored. You didn’t provide adequate information. How are we to help you if you won’t help yourself? As far as the rest of your “stay out” and “go away” mantra… this is an open forum. You get what you get. If YOU don’t like it how about you follow your own advice. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

How do I sound elitist?

Classy

Just out of curiosity, why did you take prednisone and at what dosage.
I had taken massive doses of Medrol for an autoimmune disease and don’t understand feeling any muscle pain.

I might have experienced the pain you were feeling, but never knew why. It went away as quickly as it arrived.

You are new here, its the approach that’s going to get you lit up. Search function should always come before your initial posts, that’s what gets people ticked. In regards to your question, do all these drugs give you issues now or just some. Yes, batches can make a difference. I’ve had sides on some and not on others with the same AAS from the same supplier. Even pharma has variations at least in my personal opinion. For example, I have pharma oxandrolone now, that if I take 50mg I get very painful pumps so I knocked it to 25mg per day. To further help you:

  1. What are you taking now and what doses?
  2. SARMS: We can’t give sources, and theres not a ton of info on here about them. Just try to google they are everywhere and easy to get. Seriously, google sarms or research chemicals
  3. The big one: Arguing with forum members will be a waste of your time. Some guys just like to poke, the rest of us just grab the popcorn in these situations. Others will scan right over your post if you come across that you will not have open ears when they take the time to respond

Please satisfy my curiosity.

What are your 1rm’s and will you post a physique pic.

Why do you come on here and start attacking people? You have the problem man, how about some humbleness.

I would have provided help, but you seem to only get what you deserve.
