I used the quote feature in both manners when responding, hence your comment is stupid. Par for course here."
You are stubborn as I am. I'll allow that your manner of using the quote feature keeps the conversation clear for those who aren't adept at reading ahead. So, as a compromise, I am trying this method of response to you
Again, his HG is from steriod abuse. He does not have cachexia. However, being deficient in testosterone will lead to muscle wasting. Now I don't know what drugs he is specifically on but this is again exacerbated by the meds. It's a bad idea, makes sense you would be on the opposing side, to suggest he is fine because his CD4 is at an accetable arbitrary level. I won't debate anymore of this with you. He will experience wasting, namely of lean tissue. Now if you are talking cachexia from rapidly metabolic cells then we can have a different discussion.
You win. None of the folks I know or knew before they died of AIDS related illnesses used steroids prior to being infected with HIV as best as I know.
You imply you have inside information with regards to Tbombz. Perhaps you are his doctor? I hope not since if you are, you bordering on violating HIPAA Laws.
I'll admit my personal experience with steroid use is limited. Although I'm currently on HRT and I have taken D-Bol in the past, I only took what my doctors prescribed me. I have not taken mega doses as some folks have done. I may have had hypogonadism since my teenage years as a result of mumps orchitis at 14. I've only been on HRT since for five years. 70 year old men often suffer low test levels just because we are, well, old.
I know" (he is not working).
This reply also suggests you have personal information regarding Tbombz.
I can't paraphrase? you want me to dig up old post"s?
Yes I do want you to dig up old posts. I'm confident I never told him unsafe sex was a good idea. You are implying otherwise.
look at what you are arguing for in this thread. He is making another bad decision due to OCD and you are arguing against a doctor abou't cachexia, which I stated, specifically he did not have (at least in a clinical sense), he will fit the criteria for it however.
Look back at you. Good friends of mine died because of unsafe sexual practices which ended in their becoming infected with HIV and eventually having AIDS, albeit it was awhile ago. As for Taylor's G4P activities, I actually chided him because he was doing this under the guise of being a massage therapist. Legitimate massage therapists would lose their license if they provided happy endings like he was doing.
Not trying to impress you, I was simply establishing my expertise so I don't have to continue to debate medicine with you. You however, want to continue to debate it.
This is good because I am not impressed, mainly for the reasons I mentioned above. Also you've not really indicated what you have a doctorate in. Unless your specialty has to do with viruses, specifically the treatment of HIV and AIDS and you have medical expertise with HRT and steroid usage, you could just be another quack doctor.
i have seen war on TV, therefore I know. Listen, when people go home from work that's when life starts.
Most people spend about a third of their lives at work. Think about that before you suggest life starts after you get home from work. I am not saying many people don't put on a different face at work, but if they have a mental illness, it eventually shows.
Ouch. zing. grown man won't bring his sore bum to me.
My bum is fine. Thanks for your medical concern. If I have a problem with it sometime hence, I already have a doctor I trust. Hope there are no hard feelings....
