Really sore muscles, T3/Test/var

[kagenical]

I'm embarking on my (hopefully) final cutting endeavor ever. But this one's throwing me for a loop.

I'm currently on:
36mcg T3
250/500mg test-e
50mg Var
1 dose ECA in the mornings (200/24 HCL)

I've been dosing at 500mg test recently, but as it takes 2-3 weeks to really hit you, I'm still only "at" my initial dose of 250mg (I ramp test, otherwise I get fierce acne). I waited 3 weeks from my first test shot to take T3, starting at 12mcg, to make sure it was there and active, and started Var the first day as T3. I will be using 1/2 dose EOD of formestane to curb E2 a bit, lasting weeks 3-9.

But every goddamned muscle in my body ACHES like crazy. My back and Traps especially. My arms. My quads. My neck. My facial muscles.

It feels like I have a constant headache. I'm wondering, is this from the T3? Never tried the stuff before, and one of the side effects is "aching calves" so I'd assume it's possible. My BP checks out fine at 85/120 while on, and 70/110 while off. Blood lipids are A okay too.

What gives? Any solutions?

tl;dr, does T3 make your muscles ache. What can you do about it.

the t3 is making you flat so your muscles are taking more damage when you workout

The simple answer is no t3 will not make your muscles hurt. Somethibg else is wrong with you. Either you have lactic acid build up with is causing you pain, which could be from physical activity...but t3 will not make you hurt. You need to look at what you are putting into your body and make sure everything is pure and really is what you think it is. Make sure of what you are doing bc its your health and life you are toying with.

Hmm, well I know the T3 and test are legitimate as they're Rx and pricy as hell - My diet is very clean right now, 1800kcal on rest days of mainly pure protein and healthy fats similar to a keto diet. 2500 on workout days with up to 50g carbs split pre/post workout.

I've used the var (and the brand of test) before - both were g2g and produced great effects without any major sides.

Perhaps it is just the level of exercise... Coupled with low calories, and high activity. Either way, the effects aren't as bad today as they were yesterday or the day before - so we'll see how I feel in a week. hyper/hypo thyroid conditions ARE characterized sometimes with muscle pain... And going for 36mcg a day is certainly similar to hyperthyroid.

Anyone else have any input?
