Cytomel and thyroid symptoms

[diami03]

Hello,

I am recently coming off a cycle of doing Cytomel and of course I am worried about my thyroid. Since I am not currently working, I have no health insurance to go to the doctor to get a complete workup. So I was wondering, what would be some symptoms that there is something wrong with my throid? Not that anything is wrong, just want to be able to recognize any problems.

I'm no expert either, but my GF and I went and got physicals and while we were at it, we had our thyroids checked. Mine was ok, but hers was very, very low. This was not the result of T3 as she hasn't done T3 or used AAS or anything like that. The doc also said she had a mild case of goiter (thyroid was somewhat enlarged) and prescribed T4 for a while. She never felt strange or had any symptoms, but the doc asked her if she was feeling tired or run down more than usual, but she hadn't.

You can also do a search on google.com and get tons of info on the subject. I hope this helped a little...
