[brunette]

i've asked this in another thread, but what is so bad about messing up you thyroid, if that was the worst that could happen, when t3 is mega cheap, easily sustainable for permanent use?

i don't know either. its the same thing with killing a man's own testosterone production capabaility. many are so bothered with bringing their own production up after a cycle, but why? its obviously low otherwise there would have been no reason to inject testosterone in the first time? now whats the benefit of having low test levels again? i would take t4/t3 if i had lower than normal thryoid levels immediately and would never stop. its another story with HGH which is very expensive but thyroid hormones and testosterone are dirt cheap. maybe people are scared by "for the rest of your life"? but i have to eat, drink and train for the rest of my life also, and that does not scare me at all. so why bother?

Taking thyroid medication is not so simple as to take 1 pill a day. Dosage requirements will change frequently depending on the degree that natural production is supressed, and you will have to get bloodtests monthly or bi-monthly to check your status. I know my mother has to take thyroid medication and she has had 3 dosage changes in the past 6 months just to keep her in the normal range. Due to the short attenuation of cytomel in the human body, taking it 2 times a day on an empty stomach is required...which can be a pain in the ass.

Also, thyroid medication causes hyperglycemia. Its really better to avoid messing with the thyroid if at all possible.

Poantrex, is your mother heavy? I know a couple of folks that exceed the limits of the scale and they too have to get tested every month. My niece is one that is like that. She has been on syntroid since 98 and had her doseage increased 8 times now. Because she is overweight. Eventually she will get on diabetes medicine. Try to tell her and she will just said ,Shut up. End of story.

Well I've used T3 3 or 4 times now, between 25-75mcg/day. Never exceeded that dosage for long, and never for more than 4 weeks total. Never noticed any rebound or fat gain afterwards or any muscle loss while on. However, I could never really tell much in the benefit area either. I'll just stick with gear for now, maybe if I get to 220lbs I'll need some T3 along with mega-gear to grow, but not yet.

Nope, she's not heavy.

Diabetes wouldn't surprise me, because thyroxine and cytomel jack blood sugar WAY up.

My fasting glucose is 20-25 ng/dl higher when on that stuff.

I took cytomel for the first time today and I have to say , it felt good not to have to go to sleep right after work or getting tired just walking around the mall. BTW I am about 20% bodyfat. Hopefully after a 6week cycle I should be alot leaner and not be in need of full dosages of T3.

As far as the blood sugar levels go , I think glucorrel-r should be a good complement to rising blood sugar levels along with an increased protein (1.5g per lean muscle mass) and increased fats via nuts in the diet should give muscle gains.

Poantrex , after doing my research here and elsewhere , you seem anti t3. Are you the 1 person who votes "my thyroid is fucked for life"?

No. My thyroid is in normal range, but not back to baseline where it was before treatment. And no, I didn't vote that.

never a problem.
