EQ as we know builds rbc and hematocrit like no other. Ive run 1200mg test 400 deca, slin, gh ect NEVER ever had a problem. Gave EQ a try 6 weeks ago. Granted jumping in at 800... ehhh...
We all know 6 weeks is the magic mark for EQ. Well at week 6, i start to get a crazy toothache in my low left molar. I think great just what i need. Then it gets worse. Like into my jaw. Then after a couple days im getting this crazy searing pain in my left jaw that comes and goes and i swear... it was so bad that during a spike if you handed me a gun id have shot myself to get rid of the pain. 1-10 the pain was a 25. My bp was suddenly not 120/68 it was 160/100 like that. So, i take 1 1/3 pint of blood out of myself and it makes zero difference. Not good. Two and a half days of these unreal pain spikes. Lose the blood wake up xmas day only my tooth hurts not my jaw. Ok little better. Good all day no spikes. 1am xmas night comes back all night. Start doing some research and... left severe mandible pain can be a serious cardiac issue. Sweet. Palpitations out the ass during these spikes too (Im 45 btw been doing this 24 years off and on). Starting to get pins and needles in my left thumb and pointer finger. Anxiety? Maybe. I tell the wife we gotta go get this looked at now. Spent 4 hours in the ER they do the bloods multiple times, its not a cardiac issue. Ok, sweet. THAT is what i wanted to know. I think also identical issues are TMJ the jaw nerve issue thing that has no cure. My mother had it. Miserable life. Or.... just maybe it really was a deep tooth infection. This all came on just asc the EQ went boom and veins came out of no where so there's no telling me EQ didn't have something to do with this. They give me abx just to rule out the tooth. Fine.
I get home 20 minutes and suddenly ZERO pain in my jaw or tooth. What the actual fuck. Then it hits me... they pumped a giant bag of saline in me while i was there. So i hit google. A giant IV saline infusion will "drastically" reduce hematocrit. So i got basically a bag of blood thinner. Bingo... it was the EQ.
Still no pain. Another kit will be here in 2 days and I'll lose another pint of blood and all should be good.
AND... its not cardiac. However... i also find my creatinine was 1.5 and my gfr was 48. So I'll be calling it a day other than 200/300 mg of test from here on out. Been hanmering 4-6g astragalus a day for the last month as well.
I knew i shouldn't have fucked with EQ for 20+ years. Listen to your gut fellas.
