Should I take a break while sick with Rona?

I have tested for Rona at home, waiting cvs test results. My big question is, should I stop all injections for now or should I stay the course to not upset my body balance any further?

Just a little info:
700mg test c weekly (2x350)
Hcg 500iux3 weekly (1500)

Thanks guys
Saw an article that stated 1. people with greater muscle and 2. that exercise recover easier/faster. Also, it recommended to 3. increase daily intake of protein. Sorry, I can't find the link.

It's practically a bodybuilding lifestyle.

As far as injections - there's this from a Covid article, about testosterone.

"Low testosterone is also associated with infection-related hospitalisation and all-cause mortality in male in ICU patients, so testosterone treatment may also have benefits beyond improving.."

Very interesting data and connection of formacology and covid. Somewhere I found a different picture. And here is some very interesting information that makes you think.

I completely agree about protein and Low testosterone. After all, Low testosterone as a whole has many negative consequences for the body, including immunity and recovery, and, ultimately, the quality of life.

This is an N=1 report so really not very informative. IMO, he probably just spontaneously recovered and didn't really benefit from anti-androgen therapy. You can't tell from N=1.

The 174-lbs 'bodybuilder' was taking 40mg/day oxandrolone for 30 days prior to going to a (walk-in?) outpatient clinic. Not surprisingly, his natural testosterone was suppressed at 132.9 ng/dl.

The clinic physician gained signed informed consent for the following experimental treatment:

1 x 600 mg proxalutamide (anti-androgen) followed by 200 mg daily for 7 days,.

The patient went home and returned the next day substantially improved but then again most people are better within 4-5 days anyways.

There is some misleading info in the case communication that makes me less confident in the authors. For example, the authors imply that TRT may be dangerous when it comes to Covid-19:

"A cohort of 32 men with median age of 52 undergoing testosterone replacement therapy diagnosed with COVID-19 showed a very high hospitalisation (62.5%) and fatality rate (9.4%)."

However, if you actually read the study they cite, you learn that:

62.5% TRT patients were hospitalized
63.4% of non-TRT patients were hospitalized

9.3% (not 9.4%) TRT patients died from Covid-19
12.7% of non-TRT patients died from Covid-19

So fewer TRT patients were hospitalized with a lower mortality rate.

All of this is statistically insignificant, so really the differences are meaningless. It's just the fact that the guys rationalizing their experimental proxalutamide treatment literally fudged the numbers and gave the impression that TRT was dangerous when the cited study did not support it.

The authors of the cited study reported "our study failed to demonstrate a statistically significant difference in COVID-19 outcomes among 139 men treated with TRT and those not on TRT."

And. Dr. Greg Fahy has been promoting the positive benefits of his trimm study, which uses exogenous GH, as another line of defense against covid.


So, exogenous gh and test seem to be the way to go. For sure in older people like myself at least.
 
Well I stopped the anavar for 10 days. I was finishing week 5. Feeling better now and will resume 3 more weeks of the anavar.I kept the test and primo going and will continue untill the end March. Anyone think I could push the anavar longer than three weeks after the 10 day break ?

Didn't quite get the question?
