hey guys, heres a thread i saw today. i wanted to copy and paste it here, as a reminder of just what can happen if you dont get your blood work done. now this was a unique case, but you never know if you fall into the category of unique as well, unless you get labs done a couple times a yr. i know a lot of you are newer AAS users but its never to early to take care of yourself
I put off getting labs done for way too long....about 2 months ago I had to stop prepping for a contest because my body just wasn't responding. I went to get labs done and after the results was rushed to the ER. I was diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis and stopped prep. Fast forward 2 months and I'm throwing up every day and cramping. I went to the ER again and my numbers were off the charts, creatinine 15 and BUN was 190 with potassium very low. After a biopsy i find out I have the disease abbrveiated FSGS.....the same thing flex wheeler, Alonzo mourning and Sean Elliot all had/have. There is no cure and currently they don't really know what causes it. Over 80% of my kidneys are scarred. The doctors surgically inserted a catheter(sp) in my neck/clavicle to start dialysis. I will need a transplant in the next year, although inmay already have a living donor. Moral of the story....I've had this for years. Had I done blood work a year or two earlier I may have been able to slow down the disease, but now i have to Jump head first into treatment. So do you blood work every 6 months and look fornthese warning signs:
high blood pressure
swollen ankle/ankles
sour mouth taste
cramps
hiccups
edema
indigestion
bubbles in urine
