so i have hyperthyroidism... wtf?

[Lopez]

i've been off peps and clen for a few months now (clen for about 3, peps for about 1 1/2), haven't cycled in a while either (5-6 months??). anyway i went to my shrink and he suggested i get my T-hormones tested and they all came back high except for TSH i believe.

so anyway i'm officially suffering from hyperthyroidism which shocks me seeing as i have a pretty high bodyfat percentage (~18 % ) and have little trouble building muscle... anyone know if cutting back on my diet (carbs mostly) could've done this? or maybe just stress from anxiety?

Did you get your thyroid antibodies checked?

^ This. Could be auto-immune, though usually that leads to hypo not hyper.

Do you eat seaweeds or a lot of salty, iodine-containing foods? Too much iodine can cause that as well.

Also, one thing less known, is that a sluggish liver can lead to improper metabolism of thyroid hormones, causing the hormones or their metabolites to linger in the blood serum for longer. Sometimes cleaning out the liver can bring thyroid hormone levels to normal.

no salty foods and liver should be healthy seeing as i don't drink/use drugs, haven't cycled, and take in nothing but healthy food and multivitamins (in normal doses too).

people have told me it may be backwards, my anxiety/panic attacks may also be causing this to happen, but i've never heard of that...

thanks for the feedback!

going to see my shrink more than likely this wednesday...

my bet is its short-medium term readjustment after peptides and not some big hyperthyroidism, in which grantedly it does technically fall. I had FT3 above the normal range after peps (ghrp,mod 1-29, igf1 lr3)

let the dust settle, I mean as you say you don;t have the typical symptoms so let the pituitary gland get some more time to adjust and Id say itd get there but meh, I just dont think its a thing to get alarmed about
