[CatDaddy]

Anyone experience what looks like bruises when you have a pump?

I’ve been getting bruises/purple spots all over my chest and arms lately

Usually bruising is a sign of blood pooling under the skin. I have only ever experienced bruising with a deep purple color when I've torn a muscle....never small spots. Are you having any pain in those areas?

Literally zero pain, just purple spots/bruising everywhere when blood flows to my chest and arms from a pump

Wow ! 40 years never heard of this . I hope it’s a good thing . Ya know I think we train so hard when we add cycle and all else dialed in our muscles grow faster then ligament, skin etc . Beware too of blood count getting dangerous high which happen to me . Regular labs blood donation remedy that . Just make sure your blood pressure in parameters or they won’t draw . Other than that bravo for kicking ass !! I’ve never heard of that . Does it hurt ??? No permanent marks . I know when I began lifting even pre aas I grew so fast I still got stretch marks on my arms . I’m actually considering tattoos at age 53 to cover them lol I do have a theme since my martial arts and military exceed all experience in life I want tats of all the warrior clan coat of arms / mon that represents the systems I’ve mastered. And tat if each weapon - katana , barong , karambut , even 45 lol this fascinating anyone else experience this discolored appears from blasting away? Any negative notions ??

I got diagnosed with secondary polycythemia then with JAK 2 gene mutation!!! My TRT Dr. has to write an order.
It's written as needed to lower hemoglobin as low as 13%.
I have to use order at only 1 of 2 different blood banks in my area.
I always used same one. And I only can go at bank itself no blood drives!! They do not keep my blood except for research.

Sometimes I have had to go every 3 weeks for years. And sometimes 3x in 4 weeks to knock down.
Once it gets over 17 it keeps building yo almost 20 hemo and I can't bring it down unless i go every 2 weeks.
Once I get it to where it measures day 14 and do a draw that day, from that point it's more manageable.
I am due to go now, it's been prolly 2 months. Last August and September I went 3x in 5 weeks. I got it from 19 hemo to on 3rd draw it was 14.5 then drained...

Since then I have gone around 8 weeks first time in prolly 5 years didn't need to 1x a month at the least.

And this is very important so don't mind posting it here to share with u who has same problem.
I don't use EQ anymore haven't in years

Short answer.
No questions use my order and required to check iron and binding of iron 1-2x year or every 6 draws!!
