Need Advise

[rick123]

Need advice!
I am a 63 year old male diagnosed with PMR Polymyalgia Rheumatica which is a condition of muscles and joints. I am taking the steroid Prednisone in 20 MG dozes daily as prescribed by my doctor for the last sixteen months and may be required to take this up to three years before obtaining results. This product contains many harsh side effects such as thinning of the skin, bone depletion and bruising etc, etc and etc. I understand from my pharmacist that a mild anabolic steroid product out there that could be used to help treat my condition without the very undesirable side effects of Prednisone and will not require a exercise program as I have issues with my knees that will eventually require knee replacement surgery. I have very limited knowledge on this so any information on this issue would be much appreciated.

My advise would be to ask your chemist to elaborate. I dontthink anyone here would be game enough to recommend that you take anything in particular. I could make a guess at the substance he is talking about but what is the point ask him to elaborate, come back and ask a few question then. Hope that helps.

Ask your Doctor about Deca Durablin.

I agree. I have knee issues and my Doctor came damn close to prescribing me Deca.

Maybe do some research on Deca, print out the important stuff and give it to him to look at.
Heres something from our "Profiles" board that may help.

Deca Durabolin
Deca-Durabolin

Deca-Durabolin
Chemical Name: Nandrolone Decanoate
Drug Class: Injectable Anabolic Steroid



Nandrolone Decanoate, aka “Deca” is the brand name for the Organon produced product, first made available in the early 80’s. “Deca” is therefore just a brand name, although currently, the black market slang is to call any Nandrolone product with the Decanoate ester “Deca.” It’s a progestin, made by removing the carbon atom at the 19th position of the steran nucleus.

As a result, although it’s a progestin, Nandrolone doesn’t produce many purely estrogenic side effects, so it has been a favorite in many cutting and bulking cycles over the last couple of decades. Deca has a very low rate of aromatization (metabolic conversion to estrogen via the aromatase enzyme), equal to 20% the rate of Testosterone.

One of the really interesting properties about Deca is its ability to improve collagen synthesis (1) and bone mineral content (2), which is a huge help to athletes with connective tissue problems or other joint issues. Also, possibly due to its being a progestin, it may have beneficial effects on the immune mediated anti-inflammatory process, thereby soothing joints.

Deca is one of the few steroids which has been used successfully in AIDS patients to stimulate weight gain (3)(4)(5), and this effect has been experienced in many athletes and bodybuilders as well. Deca is both a very nice steroid for cutting and bulking cycles, although the shorter estered version of it, Nandrolone Phenylpropionate, is a more popular version to use for cutting cycles.

This brings up the fact that Deca has a very long active life, and therefore, injections are typically spaced apart by a week, regardless of total dose. Also owing to this fact, Deca is typically used for a period of no less than ten weeks, and usually for 12 weeks.

Both supply as well as demand for Deca is high, and this makes it a relatively inexpensive product when buying from an underground lab, but not when purchasing from a human grade supplier or pharmacy. Up to $10 per amp is common, while $75-100 is the average price for a ten milliliter bottle, dosed at 200-300 mgs/ml.
