Steroids

I will be taking steroids in my upcoming Frozen Embryo Transfer. I've previously had one unsuccessful IVF, and a second that resulted in a pregnancy, but ended in miscarriage at 8 weeks.

Steroids are not just a magical solution that just randomly adds lean muscle mass to the body. There is a lot of science behind how all steroids work and what you can do to get the biggest benefits with the fewest side effects.

To start, anabolic steroids are synthetic versions of the male sex hormone testosterone. Testosterone, along with the synthetic steroids, has anabolic and androgenic characteristics. The anabolic effects are those that involve the growth of lean muscle mass and the androgenic effects are those having to do with male gender characteristics.

When you take a drug, whether it's for a headache or another medical treatment or it's steroids, it has two types of effects on your body. The therapeutic effects are those that solve the problem at hand (i.e. the headache or other medical issue). The other type of effect is called the non-therapeutic effect but can also be referred to as side effects.

Your cells are ready to accept drugs and help the body use them because they have what are called cell receptors. Cell receptors are like outlets that turn on or turn off an action in the body. When you take a drug, it fills the relevant drug receptor and tells the cells which activity to "turn on" or "turn off". So, drugs don't make the changes in the body directly, they tell the cells what to do to change biological functions.

Steroids work by filling the cell receptors that tell the cells to make new proteins. While it's normal for the body to create new proteins, the steroids just tell the cells to create the proteins at a faster rate.

That was the short story. Here's want happens through the process of attaching to the receptor cells. When steroids enter the body they go through several steps before the exit the body. Anabolic steroids are generally either oral or intravenous. Oral steroids need to go through the digestive system until it enters the liver the first time (called the First Pass) from where it's absorbed into the blood stream. Intravenous drugs are absorbed directly into the blood stream and therefore have a quicker absorption rate than oral steroids. Once the steroids are in the blood stream they are distributed throughout the body via the blood stream. While in the body, the steroids metabolize in the body, generally in the liver and they are toxic to the liver -- this is why people who take steroids need to carefully monitor their liver and have regular blood work done to make sure they are not doing serious damage to the liver. While the kidneys are generally responsible for excretion of drugs from the body, steroids are different and are excreted through the liver, breasts, skin and lungs and this is where many of the negative side effects of steroids come into play.

Anabolic steroids do have a threshold of effectiveness and the greater the dose the higher the chance of negative side effects. The reason this is the case is because the body only has so many cell receptor sites and when they are all filled there is nothing for the extra hormones to do except be excreted from the body. Males generally produce enough testosterone to fill the majority of the cell receptors, so they don't need all that much to fill the rest of them.

I know that Chris Andersen was caught for steroids.

No. "Sulfa" usually refers to sulfathiazole, which is a kind of antibiotic. Prednisone is a member of a class of medications called corticosteroids.

People tend to believe that the health of the father plays little part in harm to a fertilized egg. That is not true. If the father is a drug abuser (steroids count) or and alcoholic it can affect the fertilized egg just as genetics can cause a problem. It is important you tell your obstetrician about your concerns.

Non-medical use of anabolic steroids is illegal and is also harmful to your health. It can cause serious heart problems. It is not the purpose of WikiAnswers website to tell you how to break the law, nor how to harm your body.

No prednisone is metabolized as cortisol a chemical that helps the body deal with stress. It is totally different from anabolic steroids which build muscles. If anything prednisone would retard your performance not enhance it.

The anabolic pathways in the human body is what is responsible for constructing molecules from other units. They essentially assist with the building up of organs and tissues.

You should always check with your doctor for your individual case, but mine allows me to. I have both asthma and insomnia. He is aware that I am on both, and said it is fine.

Urine tests are accurate for the detection of anabolic steroids use. The urine samples are sent to laboratories for testing. Home steroid tests bought over the counter are also considered effective.

If you are taking suboxone, you already have one drug problem! Let's not even think about starting up another one by taking illegal steroids. Go to your NA meetings and stay clean. You do not need any more problems in your life right now.

Steroids aid in the development of muscle growth; for people who have been debilitated by disease and have lost much of their body mass, this is a useful and often-needed therapy to help them gain it back.

Other steroid compounds are useful in treating allergic reactions and inflammation or swelling.

Symptoms of steroid overdose can include: burning or itching skin, convulsions, deafness, depression, dry skin, high blood pressure, muscle weakness, nervousness, psychosis, sleepiness, stopping of menstrual cycle, swelling in lower legs, ankles, or feet; weakness, worsening of health conditions such as ulcers, diabetes.

some doctors prescribe anabolic steroids to people because some people don't have enough growth hormons

No prednisone is a Steroidal anti inflamatory.

Only a qualified medical professional can give you an accurate answer ! Never rely on public forums for this kind of advice - there is no way of knowing if the person answering the question is qualified to do so !

athletes that aren't very good.

Prednisone belongs to a class of drugs termed glucocorticoids and is mostly used to suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation. Presnisone does not contain any additional medications and does not have codeine.

Yes you can. Low dose aspirin (82mg) is a sub-therapeutic dose concerning pain and is only effective as a "blood thinner"to prevent blood clots. It is too low of a dose to be of danger to use with oral prednisone.

It has to. I'm on them now for about the 7th time and my body hurts every single time. I'd like to add that I have had local steroid injections (back epidurals) with no problems. Oral prednisone, however, always leaves me feeling like I've had a very rough workout that hampers just about everything in my life, at the time. Naturally, my doctors don't give a crap: Dr. Walter Chmelewski of Triangle Arthritis and Rheumatology, in particular.
