synthroid

Avatar n tn I compete in figure bodybuilding and reqularly take creatine, glutamine, whey protein powder, and BCAAs. What effect will synthroid meds have on these supplements and should I continue using them?
Avatar n tn I wouldn't advise adding cytomel without knowing what your actual thyroid levels are -- that's Free T4, Free T3 and TSH. T3 med (cytomel) is about 4 times more potent than the T4 med (synthroid) and it can really throw you for a loop if you don't need it. It can cause very rapid heart rate, palps, etc. Whenever cytomel is added, the T4 med should be dropped accordingly. Did you receive the cytomel from your doctor or as a script? What did your doctor say about adding it?
Avatar n tn Hello, I have been reading varoius posts for sum time now. I was just recently diagnosed with hypothyroid. I'm 28 years old and very active in bodybuilding. My TSH level was at 8.24 I'm not sure if that is really high or not. All I know is I was feeling horrible tired all the TIME, Very cold, puffy eyes, VERY BAD ANXIETY is this normal? as well as loss of hair, yellowish skin, brittle ugly nails. The doctor put me on synthroid .5mg, it has been 5 days.
Avatar n tn on your thyroid hormone and not achieving the optimal level for you for a long time - other important glands can become tired and start to back fire too. Then you have multiple problems which takes the healing even longer to get back to feeling well again. Bennie - There are many here with medical backgrounds - by I do not. If you take a look at my journal on my profile titled I thought I was dying - you'll see the reason why I am a part of this board.
Avatar m tn t occur anymore. If I do abstained from ejaculation for over 14 days then it slightly improves for me a little.... But that's with the support of heavy weight training. Most of the time my testicles hurt a little and itch and not in a a more painful way. Obviously I'm not a professional or anything But I really want to get this fixed. Not sure how long I can last like this.... Any help or similar experiences is more than welcome.

Avatar f tn HELP!! I had my thyroid removed in January 2007 due to a multigoiter and since I have had it removed I have been gaining weight despite dieting and exercising. I have never been this weight in my life. I usually weigh 160. I am 5'8" and am solidly built. I did a bodybuilding show in 1999 and now I currently weigh 200. I don't know what to do. My doctor isn't helping at all-seems he doesn't know what to tell me. If anyone can help I would be indebted to you for life!!
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 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...so I know an unhealthy decision, but I started taking meltdown (fat burner) twice a day and started two a day workouts to try to shed the fat...to no avail, I just got fatter....I have NO ENERGY, NO SEX DRIVE, NO MOTIVATION...very unlike me...I am DESPERATE for answers!
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 What would be the side effects if we take steroids in bodybuilding to increase our body in a few time?
Avatar n tn I had to be off my Synthroid for five weeks before I took the RAI pill. Most doctors say six weeks, but I was ready at five weeks and sick enough the doctor did not want to wait another week. Two weeks is not enough. It takes six weeks to get Synthroid completely out of your system. The RAI may work after a month with no Synthroid, but two weeks is certainly not "standard procedure". I would make further inquiries.
Avatar n tn Entered the hypo phase 3 months ago. I have been on 50mcg Synthroid for 2 months now. My TSH is now normal. My question is becuase I do not have the Hashimotos thyroiditis should I still be taking synthroid? Is it bad to be on the Synthroid if I do not need it? What is the typical length of time someone with subacute thyroiditis should be on Synthroid? Will the being on Synthroid possibly prevent me from every making my own thyroid hormone again? Thank you for your time.
Avatar f tn I am recently diagnoised with hypo-been taking 100 synthroid for almost a month. I work out 5 days a week I was wondering if anyone has taken cytomel along with synthroid? If so has it helped in weight loss? I work out so very hard and go to the gym twice a day, The doctor says until my metabolism and thyroid get on track my weight won't change. I have been doing some research on cytomel and am thinking of asking my Dr. if I can try it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
2203249 tn?1338990446 Another factor that can give a "false positive" for high alt and ast scores is heavy weightlifting/bodybuilding. Skeletal muscles, when broke down, will also release these enzymes (alt and ast) into the bloodstream. My alt and ast scores haven't been normal even when und at 4 weeks. In fact they were there highest (alt-106 and ast-84) on my week 12 draw...which was still UND. 2 days before the draw I had an extremely heavy and long leg training day.
Avatar n tn 5-2cm in their greatest length and i have no idea when they appeared as being in these areas it was difficult to notice them. I have them for 4 months but probably started around 6 months ago. I had another one behind my neck, smaller, last summer, i believe the same shade, but it's now gone. In the last month smaller spots(0.5cm) have appeared in the abs area, 2 defined, and another 3 that might be the same thing.
Avatar m tn I started bodybuilding almost 1 year ago with improving my nutrition which included protein and vitamins supplementation. My last time working out was shoulders; at the end of the that workout I had a bit of a pain on my neck which was familiar to me because I had similar pain in the same workout before many times but it healed on its own. However, the pain that time was extremely worse when I tried to sleep that day. I woke up having stiff neck and couldn't move my head from side to side.
