CRAPASS LABS.

Got back my thyroid labs and I was right I really need T3 its tanked out to the bottom of the range which explains some unfinished workouts lately, poooooooor recovery time, and the lack of scale response to cleaned up diet and a.m. cardio.

Anyways, I got a small increase over the phone and have an appt. on 1/23 for another one hopefully two.

OBVIOUSLY I have been hitting PRs and feeling strong and swolle so part of the effect of seeing the labs is psychological. weird. SO I’m just posting this for the record. Levels should be improving soon.[/quote]

Are you familiar w/ Brownstein’s work on iodine? http://www.amazon.com/Iodine-Need-Cant-Live-Without/dp/0966088239 I’ve been on Iodoral one per day for 1.5 yr and doing fine. When it’s warm (summer) I don’t even need T3.

Um, I was tested as iodine deficient when I started with my doc but we supplemented and I am not anymore.

Just for you!

Glad to hear you’re getting your “T” on! You were still killing those workouts even though you were a low. Can’t wait to see what you rep-out once the levels are back up.[/quote]

FO SHO! Cannot wait to feel better… I mean don’t get me wrong I don’t feel horrible I am just surely not 100% right now. Soon all better!
I LOVE HOLTORF MEDICAL.

Do you think peeps who train hard, naturally need MORE T3? Been thinking about that.

[/quote]

I dunno… I sure was’t training hard when I first got to Holtor 04/17/2010… an my T3 was just UNDER range at that time. I will talk to my new doc there about it though for sure.

Sorry about the T3 sitch :frowning: But I’m glad you’ve got everything figured out and you know what to do!! That in itself is a win-win-win.

944

Oh! Cross posted!

Your bench day ain’t that bad, missy. So I think you should feel proud.

How…how on earth do you stay on the moving stepmill for 45 minutes?! You must be in pretty awesome cardio condition, man. That thing really makes me feel out of shape, loL

As far as the mind part… well I knew I needed T3 but SEEING the lab report made me INSTANTLY feel like ten billionedy times worse than I felt the second before I read it. Thats all I mean by that. THYROID is NOT in the fucking head.

Oh fat penguins are the best kind!
Wierd sidenote: I was learning to draw birds (um, my grandma likes birds) and I happened on this wonderful artist who specialized in bird drawings. She says the key is to make the birds as FAT AS POSSIBLE because “everyone likes a fat birdy”
