Steroids

I have been able to keep my SEVERE polyps under control with two doses of 80 milligram Oxycontin per day. I will be having my SECOND surgury very soon. However, no " Doctor " will ever listen to why this works, or prescribe this Med. for any patient. You will be assumed to be an Abuser. This powerful anti inflammitory ( and headache moderator) works. I am 52 years old, former Racehorse Trainer, and have NEVER!!! abused ANY medication!!! Hope this helps someone. It took me 5 years to find out by accident. Thank God....I get a little sleep, without waking up gasping for breath everytime my mouth closes in sleep.

extreme tenderness of skin on arms. cuts and bruises easily

362 days, id advise not to use them youll lose your muscles unless taking them medically

prior to 1994 it was not a schedule 3 controlled substance, therefore not a felony.

What type of steroid? Corticosteroids are typically used to treat inflammation; certain asthma inhalers, topical creams, pills etc... You hear that your favorite sports here had a shot in his knee or shoulder? Guess what, he's on steroids, just not the kind you think of when you hear that word. Cortico steroids are also used to suppress the immune system in organ transplant recipients, those with autoimmune diseases and a variety of other ailments. Typically corticosteroid steroids have the potential for causing serious detrimental effects to the body.

I'm going to assume that you are asking about anabolic/androgenic steroids. These are what come to mind when the average person uses the word "steroids". They are the male sex hormones testosterone (often called test), dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and a laundry list of there synthetic derivatives. There are also 19-nor steroids that are progestin (female sex hormone) that have incredible anabolic effects, Nandralone (Deca) and Trenbolone being the most famous (or infamous).

The next problem we face is your question. How do you define "strongest"? All effects of steroids depend on a myriad of factors, including but not limited to the individuals genetics, health, type of training and goals, diet, rest, lifestyle, the steroids dose, supporting supplements, duration of use, etc... These all determine a steroids efficacy. I can take the "weakest" steroid and have my training, diet, and lifestyle in perfect order and will most likely have incomparably better results than another who uses the "strongest" but doesn't eat, sleep, or train properly. It's important to remember that steroids are a tool, not a miracle, and they are incredibly powerful. With this in mind let's try to define "strongest". All steroids are dose related, and some of what might give you the fastest and most dramatic results can have serious side effects, up to and including death in a short period of time, as opposed to others that can be run with relative safety for long periods of time resulting in better gains due to the duration of use and minimal sides. We must also determine what our goals are. Do we wish to gain muscle mass, strength, or cut body fat and get that ripped beach body?

Now that we understand that "strongest" depends on many variables, we can talk specific compounds. The safest is testosterone. Of course I'm referring to the natural variety, the stuff made by your cajones my friend. Eating right, traing hard, getting 8 hours of sleep at the same time every night. These play a heavy roll in testosterone production. BPA in canned foods/plastics, stress, and alcohol will lower test production profoundly. On a side note, steroid use slows or stops your natural production, if only temporarily. This is the cause of lost gains and atrophied testes post cycle.

The "best" steroid: Testosterone! Although it can have more side effects than some, and less dramatic gains than others, it is the perfect hormone. No steroid user takes any other steroid without using testosterone. Other steroids act in different ways, and with natural testosterone shut down can leave you with rather embarrassing sides, such as a lack of confidence, erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, inability to ejaculate, etc. so test is injected to replace the lost natural test. Testosterone is fantastic on its own for cutting, bulking, and strength training, as it has a perfect anabolic/androgenic ratio of 100/100. It can be used relatively safely, even in high doses if all proper precautions are taken. All things considered, test is the best.

Strongest: Bulking. This some would argue is anadrol (a-bombs, A-50's). A pound a day is typical for this drug. So are profound, extreme sides. Huge water retention, hypertension, and liver damage occur with this compound. It is the only steroid proven to be linked with certain liver cancers, and liver cysts that can rupture and cause a fatal hemorage. About half of the gains on anadrol are water and are lost on cessation. It should be noted that high doses are used (50-100mg/day). On a mg to mg basis it is widely believed dianabol (d-Bol) is stronger, and much safer to use. This is of course anecdotal.

Strength: Halotestin. Again this is arguable. Another oral, liver stress is a concern. If there is such a thing as roid rage, this would be one that shows it. Weight gain on this drug may be non-existent, strength will go through the roof.

One last mention: Trenbolone. If test has a rating of 100/100, Tren is 1000/1000. It is a 19-nor (progestin) and as sickly doesn't convert to estrogen. This means NO water retention. Weight gain, strength gain, and fat loss are quick and heavy. It's binding affinity to the androgen receptor and theorized anti catabolic properties allow the user to gain major mass on a calorie deficient diet. Sounds great right? It is also the 2nd most dangerous widely available steroid, second only to anadrol. As it has never been a legitimate pharmaceutical steroid, there are zero studies on its long term health implications. One single 100mg injection will cause complete shutdown of natural testosterone production, very difficult to recuperate from, especially if your not educated on what you're using. Incredibly high hypertension, progestin related side effects (similar to estrogen but much harder to combat), possible liver damage (this is theoretical and not proven), insomnia, loss of appetite, and on and on.....

So what's the strongest steroid? There is no one answer. This is a brief summation of years of personal research. I've trained for 13 years. I've researched, my diet is solid, I sleep the same time every night for 8 hours. Even then, I rarely take steroids, and only use what I personally feel is safe. Steroids only truly work if this is your lifestyle. Otherwise you may get big, but not for long. And you may do damage for life. Steroids can be used safely, just like Tylenol. Take one guess which of those two is the # one cause of overdose related hospital visits? It's not the steroids.

I in know way condone the use of steroids, even with my personal use and belief that within reason can be relatively safe. I've take the time to express my personal views only. This is just to give you an idea of how complex and powerful these hormones are. They demand respect. If you are consider using, by asking this question you show you are far from ready. You deserve to know what your putting in your body and what it can do, good or bad. In the end, it's your body.

Good Luck!!!

If you have decreased cortisol from long term opiode use, your adrenal gland has been affected and prednisone will help. You definitely need to do this under a Dr.s care since the combination of withdrawal symptoms and prednisone could cause a seizure if your adrenal gland is already functioning normally. Most Dr.s seem to just want you to suffer through it so you will learn your lesson,so it may not be an option. The only way to avoid severe withdrawal is a gradual tapering down. Most people cannot do this on their own. You need to get smaller and smaller prescriptions to be successful. Even then it is hard to avoid when you feel like crap and the pills are available. Go through it enough times and you will learn. Hopefully. Good luck.

Adrenaline is produced by the adrenal glands, which sit on top of either kidney. The hormone, more commonly called epinephrine in the scientific and medical communities, is also often called the "fight or flight" hormone, since it's released in response to severe stress or threat. Explains Dr. Lauralee Sherwood in her book "Human Physiology," adrenaline increases heart rate, respiration rate, availability of glucose to fuel muscles, and blood flow to the muscles, helping to prepare the body to fight or flee an attack.

Because both testosterone and adrenaline are associated with strength and vigor in some regard--testosterone because it leads to increased musculature and adrenaline because it increases the contractile strength of muscles temporarily--it's common to assume that the hormones work together. In reality, testosterone is a steroid hormone that exerts long-term effects over development and physiological function. Adrenaline, on the other hand, has short-term effects, and does not show cooperation with testosterone.

Shrinkage of sex organs

I' googled it and everyone is saying no. I get ringworm often and I use different cream each time. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Recently I got ringworm again and developed over time from size of a quarter to size of half of my body. Most of the time I just left it alone and it'll go away by itself. This time I use clobetasol propionate twice I think and it worked for me. So maybe try it once and see if it works.

* Absolutely not! Prednisone for humans has to be monitored closely and the side effects with some people can be unpleasant. Take your dog to the vet! It's cheaper in the long wrong. NEVER use human medications on any of your pets. * From another source: Actually whether its 5 mg or 20 mg of prednisone, prednisone is prednisone. In some cases depending on where you are (what country) if your pet was prescribed prednisone there wouldn't be any "special beef flavored" variety, they'd be given the exact same tablet you would be taking if you had gotten a prescription for yourself the same day. Please see a vet, however. Prednisone does more harm than good if not given correctly, and sometimes additional tests are needed to check general health, etc before starting a prednisone regimen. But as for the simple question of "can it be done", certainly it can, it is the same chemical. The point the above answer could have made more clearly is that it should not be given if you do not know what you are doing. Unfortunately, some people do not have access to vets, and I understand that. In that case the internet is a great source of information, although it can also be a source of misinformation. Be careful in any case.

No. Steroids are used to allow the muscle tissue to hold more water and aid in synthesizing proteins and formation of glycogen. This retention of water allows the muscle to also become more oxygenated, all of which gives a strenght increase as well as size increase. Growth as far as (tall or short) are defined by your DNA Dioxyribonuclaic Acid, your genetic code. Using steroids to increase mass beyond what your natural body will allow, will of course give you that wider, bulkier look. This bulky and wide look from steroid use can have an optical illusion effect of looking shorter than you really are. It actually happened to me...After a season of heavy steroid use and weight training 7 days a week for a couple of years, I was very massive and very defined as well, (kinda what you see in a body builder magazine). A friend of mine took a pic of me solo and a female who I did'nt know asked him how tall I was, he replied 5' 11"...She said hmm, he only looks like 5'7". There is one caveat though, taking steroids and getting stronger means lifting heavier weights...this can cause spinal compression and hurt the discs, while it is temporary compression that can be fixed from days off, relaxation and sleep, you could actually measure yourself to be about 1/2" shorter by the end of day. The next day after proper rest without lifting you would gain that 1/2" back as your spine decrompresses itself.

Steroids / steroidal drugs should only be taken on the advice of a doctor or other recognised medical professional. You should also be aware that they are an illegal or controlled substance if obtained without a prescription.

As such the only way you should be in possession of steroids is after having them prescribed to you.

If after reading the information / instruction leaflet that came with your medication, you still have questions then you should either return to your doctor or consult a pharmaceutical chemist who should also be able to give you advice.

As for how steroidal medications are administered they may either be in the form of a tablet / capsule or an injection.

Although there is nothing in steroids which gets you physically addicted to them. But there is a huge mental addiction towards steroid due to the feeling of confidence, the false high you feel, the strength and weight gained and more.

Yes. small quantity of estrogen and testosterone is secreted by the adrenal cortex. This little quantity of estrogen play very important role in males. The little quantity of testosterone in females play very important role in females. They give integrity to that particular sex.

I would say not too not every one will b the same. But i was on predisone. For the 2nd time and was on the 2nd day off and was taking ibp 800 mg 3 every 4 hrs. And it caused me to lose my memory, and flip out bad . And really massed me up. Told my doc after that i was taking the ibp 800mg . Instead, of the valium cause i was taking two many a day for me i felt. So i took ibp instead for a break. And he told me that predisone, and ibp was dangerous together. So did the pharmacists. I would b careful.

you have more chance of winning the lottery than injecting into a blood vessel.. hitting one is a different story.. while you have thousands upon thousands, wherever you inject, we're talking about a needle that's extremely tiny in width and a surface area smaller than 1mm.. in fact, the needle itself whilst being tiny is probably bigger than the blood vessel, so you're just going to break through it - which in most cases is just going to cause acute pain and possibly some extra bleeding (if any). no biggie, you're not going to die..

Data on anabolic steroid use in sports is hard to come by as they are banned in most sports. But there are many different types of steroids so they are used in a broad spectrum of sports. Steroids that help with endurance can be used in sports like distance running and swimming. Steroids assoisciated with strength will be used in sports such as weightlifting and wrestling. Others are used to increase muscle size and mass, these would be used in sports like bodybuilding. So in answer to your question anabolic steroids are commonly used in many sports and are not more highly assosciated with any one sport in particular.

Steroids where origionaly developed in Germany as far back as world war 1. They where originally produced to treat German soldiers who'd suffered from dehydration and weight loss, but a study also found they make humans aggressive and also confident. In the Second World War the German Nazi soldiers where given doses of steroids.

cigarettes are very bad for your health!

you need lungs to do heavy reps,while on cigarettes you just,hmmmmmm,,.......

In some males, prolonged use of Anabolic Androgenic Steroids, male patern balding can occur, acne, high blood pressure, shrinking on the testes, heart attack, hormone imbalance, impotency and mood changes. Now while these negative things CAN happen, the chances of these noy happening whrn AAD are not abused and used correctly/intelligently is there as well.

Yes, it is. And a dangerous one at that if it's taken without proper medical clearance and instruction. DO NOT TAKE IT IF YOU DON'T HAVE PROPER MEDICAL CLEARANCE AND INSTRUCTION. It will do you no good, and in the end, do you harm.

Steroids are prescribed to fight some infections in the body (such as rheumatoid arthritis).

Anabolic means muscle growth, so anabolic steroids are the type of steroids use to build muscle, the type bodybuilders and sportspeople use. Normal steroids are ones that doctors prescribe to help with certain viruses etc, they do not promote muscle growth but are used as cures for certain things.

Yes.Every wrestling league besides stuff like UFC,IFl or other mixed marshall arts and boxing leagues are fake.And so every superstar in WWE,ECW,WCW and TNA
