Can AAS cause Hemachromatosis?

[hardgainer9000]

Well it has been 4 months since I took my last cycle of AAS:

Test Cyp 350mg/wk (1-12)
Winstrol 50mg/day (8-12)

Just finished my last week of the LG Sciences Trifecta Stack with awesome gains. I had to see the doctor today because of some abdominal issues going on, bit of food poisoning I can conclude. However, the blood results gave the doctor an indication I have hemachromatosis with my elevated hematocrit levels. Next week once I get over this infection should be able to tell definitively. However in a month or so I was going to start a cycle of Deca and Sustanon. This might explain why my average bp is 140/78 and my cholestrol levels are good, haven't gotten an iron count yet though. You can die with this disorder if not caught early on. Better re-think taking the equipoise and Dbol for a fourth cycle then. I never had this before so to say it is hereditary wouldn't make much sense.

It is one of the most common hereditary diseases in America. Symptoms don't usually show up until later in life. IMHO I don't see how you could have a definite diagnosis until you get an iron count or genetic test. Here is some good info,get well and keep us posted.

Spoke to soon. The doctor gave me a misdiagnosis again, it isn't hemachromatosis it is an excessive amount of hemoglobin in the blood. Major cause is anabolic steroids. There better be more people reading this because I bet it has all happened to you and omega-3 fish oil and other cardiovascular supplements don't suppress this action which is how anabolic steroids treat anemia. Another reason why I have high blood pressure and my cholestrol levels are good, my blood is too viscous and with viscosity comes added pressure to the vessels. WTF dude! I was going to go on Deca and Sustanon and how can I counteract all this shit before I go into cardiac arrest?;)

have you told your doctor that you use AAS? :p

That would probably make miss-diagnosis a bit less frequent.

[hardgainer9000]

Yes to a an urgent care doc who was nothing short of a quack. She said the steroids were out of my system but she doesn't know much more. I better go see an internal med doc. Any of the gurus out there know if i should go on a blood thinner? Can this be fatal?

give blood before and during cycles.........

[hardgainer9000]

That sounds like a great idea bdodge. But I'm worried about losing gains, energy; however if it means outweighing more serious issues than I definitely should consider it. I'm getting another blood test in a week, it might have also been the prohormones I was taking: Methyl 1-d, Masterdrol which I've been off on for a week now. We'll c.
