I have used deca for the past 4 years and I have actually gotten healthier, stopped being hospitalized, I no longer have chronic colds year-round and am able to maintain weight and muscle mass. I am curious as to why there have not been studies for CF patients and steriod use to weight the benefits and negatives of it's uses. There are other conditions out there for which Steriods are used, but why not in our case?

i'm not Dr. Taylor, but I know steriods can have bad side effects. As far as I know, there have been studies, and they've found the bad to outweigh the good in most cases.
Well, I am a user (7 years and counting) and have not had any adverse effects. You have to do your reasearch though, know what you are using and how to properly use it as well. You also have to Cycle on and off them and give your body a rest inbetween. They are only illegal in the US, nowhere else.
poster...by chance is you name Jose?Actually, I am sort of on your side with this one. I thought that I would give 'roids a try a while back for the the reasons you have stated, I decided not to because I didn't want to further my risks of not being able to father children. What has your lung functions remained like through your usage?Luke, 145lbs benching 215

doesnt that mean you are more energetic? oO
Luke, no the name isn't Jose but thanks for the support. I haven't had any reproductive issues as a result of the roid usage, and if it's that big of a concern to you, have you considered having a semen aspiration done now and freezing it? There aren't a lot of scurrent reproductive studies on roids though, so I have considered doing what I just mentioned to you. I have even brought the roid subject up with my doctors, but non of them are willing to support me in it, even though I am healthier now that before I ever got on it, and they say there's now way I should be as healthy as I am and muscular too. But I guess it's just a big liability with them as doctors. 6ft,185lbs, benching 310
OH, forgot about the lung functions. They are usually slightly better when I am using. The go from the normal at 80/85% to 90% and I have less infections and time on antibiotics while I am using. I feel it also helps maintain the standard lung function of about 80-85% for me. They have been at 75% but that was before I started using, so I feel they are very beneficial.

Brandi, When I made this post I did not think so many people would ask about steriods. But first let me say that no one should ever think about steroids until they have stopped growing. But with the one steroids I was talking about has been proven to boost the immune system as well as build lean muscle mass. This and many other steroids have been tested on AIDS/HIV patients for the immune system and various other things I am wondering why not CF patients

Thank you for your posting!This is a sensitive topic of concern for so many inidividuals. It appears your quality of life has improved in the last 4 years. Have you concurrently been exercising regularly as well? If so, it would be interesting to know whether the regular exercise has been the major contrinbuting factor to your improved life or the steroid use. Personally, I don't believe that the benefits of anabolic steroid use outweigh the detrimental effects. If you are using steroid outside of medicinal purposes, you are inevitable breaking the law. I have personally known many individuals who have used anabolic steroids and they are all regretful. In my opinion, it is not worth the risks. Best,
Dr. Taylor, thank you for your response. To answer your questions I have regularly exercised throughout my life playing soccer and going to the gym and I was usually sick one week out of every month. But since I have started taking the steroid Deca I have found that I now only get sick maybe once or twice a year which is a great improvement. My lung functions even go up when I am using them from 70% to the upper 80%. My regular doc knows that I use and can not explain why I improve so he just tells me "I dont want to know but keep it up". I do not take them all the time just fo 12 week cycles and then allow time for my body to recover since it does have a tendency to elevate my liver enzymes. Once I come off I get a full check up and wait for another 2-3 months before I start again. While I know that they are illegal I find that it improves the quality of my life, and the data backs it up. My family is even supporting me with this. To you knowledge has there ever been any studies done on CF and certain anabolic steroids?? The only studies that I have found have been on AIDS patients to help boost their immune system but nothing for CF, I am jsut trying to find why nothing has been done with CF patients.Thank you for your Time!!
I too have used Deca-Durabolin. I have used it 3 times. It is an anabolic not a cortisteroid like pregnisone, that stuff is poision.I used sustunon 250 once with the deca and boy did i thrive. I didn't have any side effects using. Not one thing. The only thing was that while i used them my liver chemistry was elevated, which i expected.Buy you used for 7years? we need to talk...I would use more frequently, but i am so afraid of estrogen side effects and over use. How does your body react? Have you gone without it for a period, if so what happened?Also, when i used it, i never became ill with a cold or nothing. But when i used it i worked out and ate food like a fiend.I have also bugged my docs to research or help me look into steroids but they are so freaked over the taboo of steroids. I honestly think they don't know anything about the stuff. The place to go to learn how to use is the weightlifting industry, www.steroid.com. They are so familiar with the "sauce" they know the ins and outs, what to avoid, and all the precautions.cadetkate830493@yahoo.com (my wife's email).....email me we have to talk!32/male/with CF
