Ok got my blood work done I’ve only been on a test enanthate 500 a week for about 14 weeks my test levels were 1450 and my lipids were high i was straight up with my doc and she wants to put me on cholesterol meds cholesterol does run high in my family anyone with experience will on test with cholesterol meds??

I refuse to take any statins. Period. Look at both ldl and Hdl. If your HDL is high. That’s good. Oatmeal every day and red yeast rice. Are 2 natural ways to combat cholesterol. Statins strip the protective coating from nerves and can cause major issues. But I try to limit my meds. Statins is just one I really abhorrer

Well fuck altorvastatin is the script ldl is 221 hdl is 57

A common side effect is muscle weakness and fatigue. There a whole long list of others as well. COQ10, red rice yeast, and Omega 3 and 6 (fish oil, krill oil, flax seed…). That will get the hdl up and should help the ldl a little.

I’ve heard real bad things about statins. I would just clean up the diet and do cardio, see if that helps first.

As a dietary supplement I would recommend Glutathione supplement you will need to get a top quality product but it just worked for me when I came off after a year straight I was able to get my hdl and ldl numbers back to normal quickly and I really believe that this was the reason because I had never had levels back in range so quickly.
You don’t want to combat every side effect with another compound but on cycle you will have these spikes but if you cycle off you will be able to get back into range quickly without the heavy medication unless its a pre existing situation where it runs in your family and then you should definitely ask your doctor for a better way.
Possibly something like the pellets or nibeido(testosterone undeconate)
Thes other options might help with the cholesterol levels

Ya that’s the problem its hereditary my mom has always had bad cholesterol but I’m gonna contact my doc tomorrow to see if I have other options I work out with a guy that takes one of the statin medications and said hes never had any problems i did cut my dose in half to 250 and started cardio every day pravastatin 40 mg is his script

 

[Bigmurph6]

Damn sense it runs in your family best and only person who can help you is a doctor.
I would get multiple opinions from doctors though I don’t trust them very much nowadays

 

[maxxy10]

No shit right bought like attorneys but I was straight up with her on my use the only reason she did labs cause I’m trying to get my bp down and shes tried 5 meds gave up sent me to a cardiologist who’s got me on 2 meds now and its already coming down since Friday I told him about the test use he acted like he could give a fuck less about that so I guess that’s not the problem but I am gonna call the doc tomorrow to check for something out of the statin family

Some people have high BP and bad cholesterol like forever. And live really long lives. The docs know these things…well good 1s do

 

[maxxy10]

Man its fucked up I’m a construction laborer and average 10 miles on a job site and lift a minimum of 5 days a week obviously in the winter months it gets slow so work slows down and so my cardio but my big lifts go up but I’m try to get this figured out been lifting for like 17 years just finally went enhanced last year few my gym buddies finally talked me into just simple test run at 39 years old felt like superman so now I’m trying to find some compounds that I can use having these issues tried t bol for 7 weeks just been staying on test still seeing gains

 

[Sig516]

I feel ya, I’m not sayin dont pay attention to it by any means. I work similarly with alot of old heads and yeah statins must suck cause I can recall some saying they’d die before the took em anymore. Go for the diet route for a while

 

[maxxy10]

Will do
