Have you ever experienced a sudden onset of low grade fever, achy joints, fatigue, headache or even intermittent congestion at the beginning of a cycle or when switching to a new compound? Some know it as "Test Flu" although that is not an actual diagnosis in the AMA handbook. Most commonly, one would experience these symptoms (maybe not all or in a particular order) when using a short ester testosterone, like propionate. It can occur with with longer esters but not as likely as with something like sustanon or prop. The short esters are more alarming to your body as they have more of an immediate impact and are more immediately detected because of it. In just a few words, the science behind it is relatively simple. You have introduced an acid (ester) that has tipped the balance that your body works to maintain and now your immune system is trying to attack and/or expel the foreign invasion. The good news is that it only lasts a few days to a week or so. That same adaptation that we fight against to make us grow by adding stimuli is our friend here and will soon enough adapt to the influx of additional hormones. In the meanwhile, get some rest, be sure you are taking a multivitamin (which you should always), get some additional Vitamin C and some Zinc and stay hydrated. You'll be back and stronger than ever in no time.
