Seriously? With the side effects of anabolic steroids? Sorry to ask this jwest52, but are you into body building or sports?

www.mayoclinic.com/print/performance-enhancing-drugs/HQ01105/METHOD=print

[and I do know that any of the meds we take for any reason have side effects - we have to weigh the pros and cons. I can see no pro in taking anabolic steroids!]



modified to tell you the site I posted above won't work - but you can goodle anabolic steroids and find lots of sites that have the side effects of taking it.

I think that if anabolic steroids worked for ITP, it might be prescribed more often.

I mean I can ball park you an answer and tell you what it would prob do given the right conditions i.e. danazol a weak anabolic is 67% effective according to this website in treating ITP. If you were to perhaps have a stronger anabolic steroid (legally) of course i'm not encouraging anyone to due illegal steroids but a stronger anabolic steroid would dampen the immune system even more so than danazol delivering results in increased platelet counts..Im looking for hard research though in a medical journal..
