I'm resurrecting this thread because I have a childhood friend that thinks he knows fuckall, won't listen to anybody, and wouldn't call him the sharpest knife in the box. Dude has been running gear for at least 15+ years. Last couple he claims to only be running half a cc of test per week because he can't control his blood pressure anymore. Anyway, he's only 40yo and had a stroke the other night.
He quit taking his blood pressure meds at some point and he's never donated blood in his life, even though he KNOWS he needs too. I was schooling him several months ago that he needs to quit being cheap and get himself checked out and give blood n shit. He literally told me he was keeping his blood pressure in check with breathing techniques and taking like 40-50mg of cialis per day!? You can't tell the dude any different! Anyway he seems ok from the stroke, luckily, but the hospital says his kidneys are trashed. BTW this one of those guys that used to run tren year round for years.
Anyway I'm saying this for any knuckle heads here that let this kinda shit ride. The info on how to be safer can be found everywhere these days. Don't be a cheapskate, spending all your income on your toys and not ever going to the doc cause you don't have insurance. Give your fucking blood timely and keep your BP in check at the very least....
If you in a casket, you're not exactly keeping up with the Jones' anymore are yuh?
