    Exclamation Question for Vet's For Mothers health. Please Help.

    I would first like to thank the members of the board who got me out the gate right. I'm on here every other day though i don't post allot, but i try when i see I can help. I want to give you my mothers stats and have some vets steer me in the right direction PLEASE. weather its to the diet section or if a drug she can use WONT conflict with a preexisting condition, like Clen or t3.

    My mom put me on antidepressants since i was 15. (im currently 26) they ruined my life. Period. Even when on heavy meds at the age of 21 i was able to maintain an 8 pack through using my internal pain as motivation at the gym. Well, Ive been off all antidepressants now for a little over a year. the last substance being ambian which was a nightmare. As soon as i stopped taking them i Lost 48 lbs while changing nothing. I dont advise this unless you have a SOLID suport group set up. I did, and i needed it and i was able to kick them. I started using test e at 500 a week Only as an antideppresent with fantastic results. Ive run two 8 week cycles of this and i feel like i felt when i was 17. Energy. Libido. (expecially after pct. wow, im a machine haha)

    Well. im down some pant sizes From a 42 to a 36 (from 260lbs to 195lb currently) and my mom is telling me... "that cant be healthy... anything that makes you loose weight and gain that much muscle has to be soo unhealthy for your body" and that the mentality i have to deal with. Just that statement alone shows the level of brainwashing here because she has to take pills to mask the sides of her other pills. and thats all she takes them for! to mask sides! And ive told her many times that Test isnt making me loose weight and gain muscle as much as she thinks as ive JUST been cleared by my DOC to work out again because of a back injury and have been doing VERY VERY little aside from a job which is some what labor intensive and ive ran two cycles of test only. I explained that I feel ... good. that i feel like going to work. Im excited about these goals im reaching and that i attribute that to having a clear head. off of the meds. the test only boosts my mental performance. and i dont diet, not really. I just have a 400 cal deficit that ive used the past 4 or so months that helped me shed these last 15 lbs. Its all about diet and eating right.

    I promised her i would do all in my power to get her to loose some weight, in a healthy weight. cause she is VERY VERY unhealthy and is Obsessed with DR oz and other TV doctors. And alot of it is fine, but when we talk about health matters of any sort she always brings up DR oz. at this point im ranting but i think its important you see that im dealing with some one who had me Druged for nearly a decade and has a history of NOT standing up for her self or be able to see that a lab Coat DOESNT make some one an authority on health. And because of MY own due Diligence and the use of this board and seeing the mistakes of others and the experiences of others have i found a system that works for me with ZERO negative side effects. I take test for my depression. Its side effects are looking better and retaining muscle mass. Thats it!

    My mothers stats.
    High blood pressure-M.
    Fibromyalgia
    Chronic fatigue syndrome
    Thyroid too slow-M.
    Chronic Kidney Failure...stage 2
    Pre-diabetes controlled by diet.
    Anemia-Ferrous Sulfate
    Reflux...Prilosec

    Great cholesterol test results.
    254 pounds. 5 feet 3 inches Shes 58 yrs old.

    Please give me your best recommendations. Because of high blood pressure and slow thyroid, Would Clen or T3 be a viable option? or would these have negative effects? These state Doctors at clinics don't Care about her at all but i told her i knew a group of people who absolutely did and want to thank you guys in advance for all the great info.

    If she has hypothyroidism, pretty much any doc will write her a script for T4 (synthroid). In her condition, that's pretty much all I'd recommend. What meds is she on?

    Bonaparte. Ive followed and learned allot from your posts over the months.
    For Anemia shes taking Ferrous Sulfate
    For Thyroid shes taking Armour 60mg.

    Would Clen be at all a viable option for her? Im thinking it might be bad for her blood pressure and off set her other problems negatively.
    My guess would be a 400 cal deficit and work on an elliptical. My parents are obsessed with this treadmill they NEVER use and at their weight, the higher impact keeps them off. I cant get them on an elliptical which would do SOO much at zero impact. Its so frustrating.
    If i could come up with some Gimmicky Diet name that comes with sugar pills and the Cal Deficit i just talked about and an elliptical, maybe they would listen.

    But i digress. Thanks again for the feedback and please let me know what you think.
    I was just cleared to work out again and have been hitting it steady. Feeling Great.

    Definitely a NO on the clen.
    But could certainly supplement that repla***ent dose of Armour Thyroid with some T3.

    Repla***ent dose?
    Sry, im just being thorough. But do you mean a Supplement, T3 and T4? (i was thinking t4 is the Armour)
    Thank you.

    Armour Thyroid is a natural blend of T3 and T4.
    I'm just suggesting that she add some more T3 in there to get some results.
