I beg to differ with you on this. My wife has lost 75% of her kidney function because of diabetes. This didn't happen over night. When you lose kidney function, this affects every other body function. You may feel like shit, but the message isn't like a sign that your kidneys are screwed. It is much more complicated than that. However, I will say that you are right about one thing and that is being constantly tired. My wife sleeps more than half the day away most days. Of course, like many long term diabetics she also suffers from congestive heart failure. It is hard to pinpoint one problem over another because all of these functions, heart and kidneys are interrelated. By the way, my wife has never taken one steroid or done any other illicit drug. Shit happens to folks. It is not always about steroid or drug abuse.

Are you implying that a certain Australian getbigger that drives a van and lives in a warehouse might consider to keep his schedule free once the date of the funeral is announced?

Probably en route, as we speak. Facebooking the mourners for availability, and heftiness, too.

I assume she has type 2 diabetes, which the vast majority of people with ESRD and on dialysis do. ESRD from type 2 diabetes doesn't just "happen",  it's a slow progressive disease that can be altogether avoided with proper diet amd exercise.

Like luke Many these people are responsible for their condition due to sheer neglect over their health and gluttony. Dialysis is a huge problem is this country due to the rising rates Of obesity and DM 2, and Medicare picks up he whole tab.

RIP.. way too young, but at least he had a blast    died doing what he love.  im 100% sure its the diuretic abuse, you could tell he did abuse them, when someone has cadaver leanness face most of the time, almost always dry and veiny like a cock on every pictures... diuretic should be before a show only, not every week in order to look better...

This is a sad day, a real example of the sickness rampant in the BBing culture.

I can just see some 12 yr old kid looking a flex of pics of dudes like Luke, getting inspired and sucked into the world of BBing, thinking all it takes is hard work, dedication and maybe some creatine and protein powder. I remeber when I was young and I finally learned the truth about BBing hiding behind he wizard's curtain.

Sad Day.  Condolences to the family.


This is yet another wake up call to all you users.  Steroids aren't healthy.  Don't be a fool and believe you're not at risk.

This has nothing to do with the death of Luke Wood, but just because a guy is nice doesn't mean he isnt a narcotics addicts, like narcotics make you an asshole lol, someof the nicest guys I know are some of the worst addicts to anything you can imagine, in fact them being very nice often has something to do with their addiction, they are constantly nervous and worried so they ask you how are you, sorry this sorry that, very polite and accommodating, but horriible horrible addicts

Posted on another forum for Luke.


Rest In Peace Luke

I know Luke has a lot of friends and fans of his who have followed him here on bolex for years so I know this is the place he would want me to write this up. This was his home and even though he didn't post here very often over the past 12 months it was only because he missed bodybuilding so much and it was hard for him to come back on here because he missed the ‘old days’.

I received a call from Luke's beautiful fiancé Nora at around 1230am this morning telling me that Luke had undergone emergency surgery to treat internal bleeding from his recent transplant, it was supposed to be fairly minor surgery but that he hadn't made it through it and his heart had stopped. Luke had passed away. Obviously Lorena and i were both devastated but our main concern was for Nora and Luke's family so we rushed straight to Westmead hospital.

When we arrived we went straight into see Nora and Luke's family and tried to make sense of what had happened. It was very sudden and unexpected but I have to say Nora, Luke's mum and Luke's brother Adam were all very strong and courageous people, they were truly in shock like we all were but handled it with a bravery that i didn't know existed.

I'm not too good in these situations so the best i could offer was to walk Nora in when we were finally allowed in to see Luke, hold her hand as she said goodbye to him and help her walk out of the building when the time came to finally leave. One of the hardest and most gut wrenching moments of my life.
Afterwards we went back to Nora's family’s home and just basically sat there for i don't know how long and just let it begin to sink in. Haven’t really slept at all since then to be honest I can only imagine what Luke’s family is feeling right now.

I have known Luke for a long time and what he has done for me as a mate and a mentor in bodybuilding will never be forgotten. He would not want any of us to dwell on the negatives but to remember him for all his positives. All the good times with his mates training, eating, laughing and living his dream of being a Pro Bodybuilder freaking people out wherever he want. He truly was an Aussie Mass monster and did us all proud.

His family appreciate all the support and I am going to see Nora tonight again and she has asked to see this thread so if anyone has some photos of Luke they would like to dig up and post please do so as she would love to see them. Rest In Peace brother and I’m sorry I’ve been so busy lately setting up the shop that we never had the dinner I promised the past few weeks, I'll do what i can to look after Nora to try and make it back up to you brother.




Nora has seen this thread and is overwhelmed by all the support and has said how happy Luke would be to know he touched so many peoples lives in the BB communtiy in Australia. She is a very strong person but as you can imagine this is so hard for her and Luke's family but they are dealing with it as best they can. Hopefully there will be details of Luke's funeral tomorrow so we can all come together and celebrate the life of Luke and say our final goodbyes.
Nora has said all are welcome to attend because that is how Luke would have wanted it, surrounded by all his mates.

RIP to a great guy.  Though I haven't spoke to him in a year, he was a friend.  We met up at numerous shows.  My wife & I were with him for the New York Pro, I think it was 2006, when IMO he was at his stage best.  Went out to dinner afterward, he was so happy.  Always a nice person to everyone.  Hate to hear this.  I wish his family the best.

This is incorrect.  By the time you can "see" or "feel" something wrong with your kidneys, they have lost 90% of their function. BTW, the only nociceptors for the kidney are in the lining around the kidney.  Meaning, you can't and wont feel any problem unless your kidney is inflammed, gets larger, and presses against the lining.


Get blood tests.  Even small amounts of protein and creatinine can mean you are having possible serious kidney issues, that you most definitely can NOT feel.

Explain.

you can certainly attempt to be a bodybuilder without drugs and you could even build a nice, lean, muscular physique doing so but one could never possibly look like a BODYBUILDER in the modern sense of the term without drug use. nay, abuse.

[gh15]

How can you account for the improved kidney function after ceasing anabolic steroid use?

how do you count for the improve kidny function after you walk in the desert for 5 days with your yearly highschool class trip?
