125mcg T3

[June15]

I have always been in perfect shape until 7 months ago.
I gained 15 pounds overnight and had tremendous pain.
My doctor diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia. He prescibed a new treatment of 125 mcg T3 every morning on an empty stomache. My pain went away, but I have not lost wieght. In fact I have lost all sign of muscle. My muscles are soft and weak. I have gained adipose tissue all over!
I run 3 miles a day and lift, but no change.

Is it possible that the T3 in such a high dose in keeping the fat on my body?

what is your diet like? T3 is not muscle specific, but its not fat specific either. if your diet is shit then you could easily lose more muscle than fat. at that high of a dose though its hard to believe you are still fat. your muscle glycogen stores are probably really depleted adding to the sense of decreased muscle mass.

My diet is sound. High protein, low fat, low carbs.
5-6 small meals. I used to compete in Fitness so I understand eating and lifting.

Is it possible that my body is packing on the pounds due to the increased thyroid?

Is it possible that due to my decreased muscle tissue, I am not burning near as much as I used to?
