I suffer from Graves disease and had to have a thyroid ablation 5 years ago. I am now on thyroid hormone for the rest of my life. Armour thyroid specifically. My question is; can aas use alter the amount of thyroid hormone I need to take???

i agree, i've had several discussions with doctors and most of the time they don't know very much about steroid use , but they are invaluable as they can prescribe blood tests and interpret them for you

what is your cycle? i'll do some research on graves disease and see if i can find any contraindications with what you are taking

Yeah....They do.

Thats why some advocate using T3 when cycling, even bulking. It gets T3 back to where it should be.

Some are linking throid function and T3 supplementation to an increase in protein synthesis and metabolism.

Add T3 whilst bulking IMHO.

300 of test e/wk and 600 of eq/wk. I appreciate that!

Remember I am talking about exogenous thyroid supplmentation. I no longer have a thyroid gland.
