hello general, i'm a resident jackass from your excellent hardcore section here at getbig. if it applies to you, you should visit it more often. there are many smart people eager to help and more insight and research are always valuable. 
forum-pimping aside, i need your help. i want to see if i can come up with an idea of what causes palumboism beyond "massive drug use". 
to do so, i need to develop an exact symptomology, because i think it's something categorically different from what ronnie, jay, etc. develop. i have a few hypotheses as to causes, but these are some symptoms i think i see:
a) lipodystrophy, or abnormal fat distribution. apparently there's reduced limbic fat but greater trunk and visceral fat. this means arms and legs would still be very cut but your torso and abdomen in particular would always appear watery and bloated. is this a good observation?
b) muscle atrophy and wasting. is it particular muscle groups that seem to get hit worse? note that synthol use may mask some of the wasting in muscle groups where it can be used...
c) bloated head. this isn't so different from what ronnie et al have and is probably linked just to gh and not anything else.
d) other symptoms? anything particularly strange and interesting that all of them have in common?
big help everyone. thank you.
a) pure broscience, brown adipose tissue and white adipose tissue is all there is.
b) seriously? segmentad muscle atrophy?
c) gh will grow and "bloat" not only your muscles, but your skeletal ssytem as a whole
d) the cockatail of drugs they consume is enough to ensure some "odd" changes
