  1. 🎉 Presenting the #EPYC 9355P: AMD's latest attempt to prove that jamming 32 #cores into a chip is the answer to a question no one asked! 🤔 Because who needs more when you can just crank up the GHz and sprinkle some #marketing magic? ✨ Get ready for the thrilling saga of "cores #on steroids" - because bigger numbers are always better, right? 😂

  2. Well. I finished my #BellsPalsy meds about the same time my #knee & #back pain returned.

    A coincidence? Do #steroids stop #joint & #arthritic #pain?

    I know that my Dr said they weakened my #immunesystem, so I guess they might be why I still have #Covid.

    #Dinner tonight? Comfort food for my better half - anything with barley or #PotatoGems.
    So it’s a weird stew of pork sausages, tomatoes, carrots, peas, gems & barley.

    My half of the bowl will definitely include some #WorcestershireSauce

  3. New Treatment For Alopecia: Several compounds that, when swallowed and metabolized, create natural anti-inflammatory compounds that can help trigger the regrowth of hair. #alopecia #itaconate #prodrug #baldness #steroids #minoxidil

  4. Started on my first-ever anabolic steroid cycle, and for once I'm actually impressed: just 20 mg of dianabol over the past few days makes me subtly but noticeably toner and trimmer, and I feel really good too. Basically no side effects either, so far.

  5. Tracking key biomarkers over time can help detect anomalies that might indicate an athlete's use of prohibited substances. I enjoyed this conversation about biomarkers being used to monitor potential abuse of steroids and growth hormone in sport. Exciting to see continued development in longitudinal tracking with the ABP!

  6. "This Guy Got Shredded in 16 Weeks Thanks to These Lifting Tweaks"

    Yeah! What did it are the tweaks.

    It definitely wasn't genetics.

    Or the steroid that this guy was taking behind everyone's back.

    He's an ALPHA!!!! YEAAAARRRGHGGH!

    (You can guess what happened to Men's Health after this debacle of an article.)

  7. Apparently, everyone’s on steroids now

    Bookmarked Why Is Everyone on Steroids Now? | GQ by Condé Nast.

    Fascinating read from GQ on how the use of steroids is, apparently, skyrocketing. Some absolutely wild quotes from users. Here’s “A.B.”:

    At the time, A.B. didn’t like his job and had endured a bad breakup. “The gym was the only thing keeping me going,” he said. Today, he’s no longer using, partly because he found a new job he loves. “If things were worse, I’d probably hop back on to cope, if I felt like I was at rock bottom,” he admitted.

    Performance enhancing drugs being used recreationally, as an anti-depressant. “T.B.” adds to the picture with potential downsides to steroid use:

    As for downsides, he noticed his moods and emotions could shift unpredictably—and during periods when he stopped using, he felt fatigued and gained weight. Also, “your balls will shrink up,” he said, echoing a number of other conversations. “Not crazy, but you’ll notice a change.”

    Yeah, I think I’m gonna pass. And that’s before we get into the potential long-term effects like cardiovascular disease and liver damage.

    The general gist seems to be that people want to get bigger, and faster, and that way feel better about themselves. It’s emblemic of so much of what’s wrong with today’s society. Going out and doing something that’s good for you isn’t enough in and on its own. Instead, all value is apparently derived from comparing yourself against some societal metric. Whether talking about what you can lift, how fast you can run, or how many likes you’re getting.

  9. Steroids are very effective immunomodulating drugs. BUT they do increase the risk of some infections.

    This is a nice review describing what infections steroids make you susceptible. The immunology affected is discussed but harder to pin down, as likely context dependent.

  10. Chap walking #dog this morning said "Jack Russell" in a sort of warning manner.

    I said it was OK, I'd got #breakfast planned and didn't need to #snack, and smiled at him.

    #Medically #prescribed high dose #steroids are fun.

  11. Neurologist warned me the #Prednisone I have to take to break my 16 migraine attack chain was gonna make me feel 'amped'

    So far that's just meant I could grate cheese at 8 pm. So amped.

  12. CW: Illness, abuse, lack of help.

    The road to hell is paved with paperwork Unsure about good intentions.

    “You know that essay you wrote? Yeah, didn’t read it” or “You aren’t eligible.” You couldn’t have told me this?

    How can there be any more forms left to fill in? Questions to answer?Are there any people left to contact? Underfunded #social #services to work through?

    How can I rest? My #adrenals will burn out completely if I continue like this. I need to stop adding #hydrocortisone #steroids to get things done. I didn’t just suddenly wake up. This is VERY bad for me.

    If only #help and #housing was #safe and #accessible. It’s hard enough for the #abled. I need an #advocate. More forms.

    #ChronicIlness is a full time unacknowledged job. #Abuse is the sprinkles.
