Jtunderdog back again with interesting info

Whats up guys. Okay it has been a while so here is why. I discovered the anxiety I always suffered was due to an underactive thyroid. I use to have problems with gaining weight easily also even when on gear. I finally ballooned to 240 @ 6' and not great lean mass numbers. I had a metabolic panel ran an my test levels were naturally low and my thyroid was less than 1/3rd of what it was suppose to be. I am now on low dose synthroid and my bp which was also like 140ish over high 80s has dropped to 105ish over high 60s. Its good to be back and if you haven't had a metabolic ran get one if you can't lose weight and suffer from anxiety. Later. Whats up Presser. Thanks Jaywooly

Welcome back jt. That is interesting. I too have always had problems gaining weight. I'm on HRT for low test levels, but I still don't gain a whole lot though I do have strength increases. I've been thinking about getting thyroid checked as two of my sisters have had thyroid trouble.

That is interesting info. Nice share. Welcome back broham.

welcome back bro!

wow, glad to hear u r doing better man

did you go to a specialist or general care physician, what test do you ask for?

welcome back to the board and welcome back to good health bro.

welcome back bro

I actually went to my family doc and told him the problems I was having. I told him how long I had been having problems even on strict diets and huge amounts of cardio. As far as which tests... I had only a thyroid panel the first time. The second time I had what is called a general metabolic panel. Just a word of warning... Insurance usually won't pay for a metabolic panel without explicit need in writing from a physician. It is really amazing how much better I feel as a whole. The anxiety stuff has been a problem since about 95. Thanks guys. Its nice to see a lot of you guys who were here and have been here.

I got some androderm patches 7.5mg. I put 15mg on for two days at a time. Also got some synthroid. With good diet and exercise I've made great progress. Dr manages thjs program.
