Avatar n tn I am on 125 mg of synthroid, and I find I really do put on weight still pretty easily. See I am in the bodybuilding/figure world, and compete, so I have to get my weight and bodyfat pretty low. I am a testament that it is possible to do so. However, I do really have to work hard at it. I do have an of season though where my eeight is supposed to go up and i am supposed to put on muscle, but mine skyrockets.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with a thyroid (hypothyroidism) a few months after my last bodybuilding show...after all of my reading, I believe at that time I was in metabolic shutdown and that is why my thyroid failed....I did NOT FIGURE THIS OUT at the time and NEITHER DID MY DR and PRESCRIBED 15MCG OF CYTOMEL TWICE A DAY AND .25MCG OF SYNTHROID...I HAVE NOW BEEN ON BOTH FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS. Then...a few months ago, I noticed a fat gain again...

Avatar m tn What would be the side effects if we take steroids in bodybuilding to increase our body in a few time?
Avatar m tn Do your mean lifting weights as in weight lifting the sport, or lifting weights as in bodybuilding, I cant think of a reason that bodybuilding should stunt your growth, but that you may just a small build, in that case you may find it hard to build your weight up, and weight lifting could stop you growing by the amount of weights that you lift over your head.
Avatar f tn Initally - going on a T3 med - Cytomel in addition to the Synthroid - you will feel great - then crash. This applies to natural thyroid combo meds too. T3 hormone is direct - which means your body accepts it immediately. You expressed you felt aweful prior to starting Cytomel - so that says you were hypothyroid and wanted direct T3. Well, you gave the body - what it needed - but it wants more. This is proven on your FT3 lab - the only thing is this is an old lab so one can only assume.
Avatar n tn T3 (cytomel) is weirdly used in the bodybuilding world..as well as hollywood,to lose weight,the normal being up to 75-100mcgs a day..and they taper down...slowy so thyroid goes back to normal,I have seen many people need meds ,from doing this...
Avatar m tn What makes you think that a T2 diabetic cannot do bodybuilding? Physical exercise is one key to burning off excess glucose and managing your glucose levels.
Avatar f tn So my question to you is can I cut my 75mcg synthroid in half? or just ask my doc for the 50mcg??? he gave me 25mg of cytomel. but I did cut it in half because I was scared to take the full dose. any suggestions from the pros?
499534 tn?1328704178 I had been having very labored breathing all week and on Tues I went to my dr who decided with my thyroid labs to put me back on Synthroid with Cytomel. So I went from 120mgs Armour to 88mcg Synthroid and 5mcg Cytomel in the morning, started new med 2 days ago. Throughout the week my ribs have hurt more and more front and back and I have been coughing and getting more breathless.
Avatar f tn It all changed after my diagnosis. I take my levothyroxine +cytomel at night. If I take it in the morning i feel nervous. At night I don't notice any difference.
Avatar m tn Bodybuilding magazines, and this is basically one, usually in the same issue will have three or four different theories of the same exercise. I used to sell bodybuilding supplements in small quantities when I managed health foods stores, and they always sent several magazines with every order. In each magazine, as I said, the same goal will have three or four "experts" disagreeing about the best way to approach the exercise.
Avatar f tn I know you would recommend it. I just felt so awful and depressed yesterday that I remembered I had Cytomel in my drawer. Last year my previous doctor prescribed 75mcg of levothyroxine and 5 mcg of Cytomel. The combination made my palpitations worse so he put me back on 30 mg of Armour saying that was my ideal dose. After this point we moved to CO. I kept both meds since then just in case a new doctor wanted to see any previous meds.
Avatar f tn Just got new script for Synthroid combined with Cytomel and my Endo wants me to take the Synthroid and half the dose of the Cytomel in the morning and the rest of the Cytomel in the evening. My question is if there is anyone who has a similar script, do you take the evening dose before bed or before dinner? Thanks.
Avatar n tn Has anyone been put on Cytomel while they were off Synthroid in preparation for their RAI. I am supposed to have the thyrogen injection but really do not want to have it. Any commnets would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn 5 twice a day and after 3 weeks, went to 5 cytomel in morning and 2.5 in afternoon of cytomel, big mistake, I got cramps in my thighs, could not sleep, lost muscle. My doctor let me do it. I just tell her what I am doing. Before I started on the cytomel, I was taking 88 synthroid 5 days a week, and 100 synthroid 2 times a week. I was feeling tired.
Avatar f tn I have just been to my gp, for review of my blood test, asked to be put on cytomel, he is not comfortable with that, increased my synthroid, suggest i see an endo, does anyone have any suggestions for dr.
Avatar n tn I quit taking the chiropractors supplements, but not for that long. I have constant ringing in the ears. This is the worst symptom I have had. It all started after taking hydrocortisone for my very low cortisol levels and Cytomel. Now the endo wants me to only take the Cytomel for my Reverse T3. The rining seemed to get worse. I really don't know what to do at this point. I felt like I had so much energy on hydrocortisone and I only took that for 1 week.
Avatar f tn The levels suggest that an increase in synthroid and a decrease in cytomel would be more physiologic. We usually use 5mcg in am and 5mcg at 2-3pm if we use cytomel. So in your case, would consider a change to 75mcg of synthroid and 5mcg 2x/day of cytomel -- this would be more physiologic for the body. If you take oral iron, it must be separated by 3-4 hours from any thyroid med to avoid absorption problems of the thyroid med.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know what the starch in Cytomel is made from? I called Pfizer but no one has called me back yet. I'm sensitive to corn and am trying to find out if it's corn starch.
Avatar f tn Hi there, My boyfriend has a problem where he looses his erection during sex. He is a very health conscious 21 year old uni student. He keeps to an exceptionally healthy diet and has an interest in bodybuilding in which he works out 4-5 days a week for about 60-90 mins. He doesn't have problems sleeping and is not stressed out or have any sort of performance anxiety that know of. He takes supplements to aid him which were protien, AAKG, creatine, glutamine and tribulus.
Avatar m tn I thought of taking whey protien shakes and creatine as a post fundoplication diet as for the first couples fo weak I am only supposed to get liquid intake. Does bodybuilding supplementations or even Bodybuilding dietary plans in anyway affect the fundoplication?
Avatar m tn You need 12-20% Protein but because you are bodybuilding you can up the percetage a little bit. Protein is in all meats, eggs, and there is some protein in nuts, seeds, yogurt, beans, and a few others. Carbohydrates 60-65 % you need complex carbohydrates like whole grains, and fruits and vegetables are excellent. Carbohydrates give you fuel (energy). Fruits and veggies are great but are not calorie dense so be sure to eat more that just a fruit at a time....
