HGH and thyroid (I have no thyroid)

[Remmy]

I had a thyroidectomy in 2008 due to cancer and have been on Synthroid 175mcg every day since. Ive added 25mcg of T3 a day and have been feeling better (never felt the same after having it removed)
Ive never taken GH but will be starting soon. Ive read about the thyroid suppression and how guys should supplement with T4
Since I do not have a thyroid and already take T4, is this something I should be concerned with?
Should I up my T4 dose or just wait and see if my T4/T3 levels drop while taking GH?

If u have no thyroid and on Syntroid why would levels drop from hgh???
T3 should go up from hgh converting more t4 to t3...
And besides hgh and u not feeling right since removing thyroid, I would guess u may not be converting t3. Some people need combo t4 and t3 for replacement....

I can not advise u on what to do, if u had health risk with cancer anywhere that is between u and a Dr or u doing lots of research and making own decisions!!

But hgh suppresses thyroid by TRH and TSH, so t4 isn't suffient in some folks by hgh use. HGH will not lower your t4 or t3 if u taking synthroid as replacement....

If gh just converts more of your free t4 into t3 than that's a good thing in my case. Just wanted to make sure I understood the gh/t4 relation.
My original endo refused to supplement t3 with synthroid so I went years not feeling right. After adding t3 myself I feel way better even though my thyroid panel was always in the "normal" range.
Thanks for the response.

Have u tried Armored Granules thyroid??
I guess not think it's t4 and t3 that they use in US??
Be careful. I never had that question u asked to think about. I believe I guessed correctly on it

Armour thyroid.. yes I asked my endocrinologist about it once and he said is not good because the doses aren't consistent every time. Wanted me on name brand synthroid, not even generic t4.
Ive read so many stories of people only prescribe t4 and not feeling good then switching to armour and feeling much better because of the t3 that's added. All I know is that I feel severe hypothyroid on t4 alone, but with t3 added I almost feel back to normal.
Sounds like GH will help even more.

My wife has this same issue. Wants to do ARmour, docs don’t want her to, been taking t4, feels run down. I told her to take t3 and she says her levels are within range... she’s been through a lot of shit with docs and meds so I don’t give her a hard time or push her. She is the one who wants to do the Armour. So hopefully if she does do it it will work better for her.

Ok. I thought I was the only one thinking this... seems like it just wouldn’t be worth it.
