Medical Doctors: Steroids delay Diverticulitis symptoms

PrintI know I am going to get killed for posting this. I can just hear the comments now...Anyway..haha
NO, I am not saying Brock has, is, or has ever taken steroids at all! I am simply providing the information being released by some of the major media outlets
Here is a link. It has the entire story and info.
Turns out that symptoms often associated with Brock Lesnar's condition are often masked or delayed with the use of steroids.
Here is a lark quote from the link...
Do you guys think steroids will slowly get added to this story?
Easy killer! First and foremost, I am not saying that Brock Lesnar took steroids, not in any shape or fashion. Brock Lesnar is very sick! It has been blogged to death all over the internet. Writers have cited WebMD, random doctors, and tons of websites about his condition. People have dragged this story from one extreme to another and back again. Here is the deal, he is sick! He may recover and fight, he may not! We do not know as of right now, but what we do know is that the use of steroids has been medically proven to delay or mask symptoms of his disease. This may have nothing to do with anything, but…
Again, not saying he is/was/or has juiced…
When I was browsing the internet earlier I came across a post on the Sportsbybrooks website located here . It must be noted that this is a very popular website seen by many sports fans that do not watch MMA or the UFC. They know of Brock Lesnar, but they don’t understand him or the sport (many not all). Sports by Brooks is a great site and I am not hating on them one bit.
On their site they stated this:
“I’m by no means accusing Brock Lesnar of doing steroids, but a quick check on the diagnosis of diverticulitis reveals that steroid use can sometimes play a significant role in masking early symptoms.
In 2003, the New Zealand Medical Journal reported , “One of the lesser known but most life-threatening gastrointestinal side effects of steroids is the perforation of colonic diverticula.”
Meanwhile, in 2005, Holly Salzman, M.D., and Dustin Lillie, M.D. of the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine reported in their article Diverticular Disease: Diagnosis and Treatment: “Steroids also may mask symptoms (of Diverticulitis) and delay appropriate therapy.”
I also want to mention that the docs also say MAY...Meaning that there is a chance, but it also may not...Or, that is the way I read it...You?
The other thing that needs to be repeated is the respect and class of Shane Carwin! I know it was posted in an earlier fan post, but it was very impressive and needs more attention!

Did you read it?
It’s saying that if Lesnar was juicing, the symptoms could have been masked or delayed.

Exactly
that’s what I (and Brock, originally) are saying. That physique isn’t the result of roids… he just ate his pasta and did his squats like a good boy

Medical doctors
aren’t TALKING about Anabolic Steroids. Ugh, seriously people? Read the medical articles. They’re talking about Corticosteroids. Used for medical treatment. Totally and utterly unrelated to performance enhancing anabolic steroids. Ugh. Just…Ugh. If Brock’s been taking corticosteroids, good for him. It sure as hell isn’t enhancing his performance. Anabolic Steroids have nothing to do with Diverticulitis, though.

Anti inflammation steroids
are about as opposite from AAS’s as you can get. I had to take them because I had a bad case of strep, and I felt like they sapped all the strength from my body.

When the story of Diverticulitis broke, I looked online for stories connecting roids and it. All of them talked about medical treatments involving steroids, NONE linked PEDs and the disease.
Non-issue, but not surprising to see.
Brock pulls out of 106,some folks suggest it is because he failed a drug test.
Brock is collapsed, it is suggested it is kidney failure because of steriod abuse.
It is said it is diverticulitis, some folks look to connect it to steriods.
See a pattern?
"He had a hole in his intestine," White said. "The (stuff) was leaking into his stomach. That’s what was causing him so much pain. That and he had abscesses.

You say you’re not claiming Lesnar took steroids, but you sure as hell are implying a whole lot. Boo.

i would assume lesnar has taken steroids in the past, but this article feels like a cheap shot.
I'm old school hating Lesnar, I've been hating Lesnar since '08
ROFL, that is awesome!

i am not a fan of brock lesnar. to be frank, i hate him. however i have a soul and i am not wishing death upon him, or slandering his name. but to you who completely dismiss the possibility that he has taken steroids: are you blind? once again, i have no proof and i am not sure of anything, just using observation and knowledge. i dont understand how anyone could not think that he possibly has. the lesnar you see in the photo above is much more toned, cut, and muscular than the 265 lb lesnar we see in the octagon.
Can you please point out those who “completely dismiss the possibility that he has taken steroids”? Because I don’t see any.
I don’t get it. What’s the association between Brock Lesnar and steroids? I just don’t see

happy?
Yes, all of those guys were kidding around. Seriously.

No one is arguing about whether Brock has used steroids in the past.
What we are arguing about is that this article insinuates Lesnar used anabolic steroids and that they are tied to his current health problems based on the authors own ignorance of the difference between corticosteroids (common medically prescribed anti-inflammatory medication) and anabolic-androgenic steroids (PEDs).
