[QUOTE="JoeJ0eyJoeJoe, post: 197230, member: 2818"] This reply may be too lay for this discussion, but the information you published strikes my interest: I have a good friend who has been through a colectomy and a 2-month-long ICU stay at the end of 2019, resulting in whole-body muscle atrophy. He's been struggling with recovery and physical therapy for more than a year with only moderate progress (still in a wheelchair most of the time, struggles even with eating due to poor muscle tone). I suspect his bone density is suffering as well due to the inability to be active and perform any substantial load-bearing exercise. It seems clear and evident to me that this would be a case where anabolic steroids would serve to help get him back on track before it's too late. It seems they would hasten the recovery. And to me it would seem to have a cumulative effect: build up the muscle, then he's able to do more movement/exercise, bone strength would increase as a result, along with cardiovascular endurance, mental clarity and mood. I've discussed this with him, and he discussed it with his doctor, who prescribed T injections for a short period (totally wrong protocol in my lay opinion ... every-other-week injections, minimal TRT dosage vs. something that might simulate muscle growth. I suspect his doctor has near zero experience with these types of meds, and based on what I've read above, it's not a trivial task to comprehend.). Unfortunately, my friend is not assertive, and even less so in his current state of mind, so he doesn't seem to have the drive to push this topic further. And, he doesn't have discretionary income to fund treatment outside of what insurance provides. Very sad to observe this. [/QUOTE]
