Went to a an endo on Tuesday and second opinion on Friday.
My brief history was after 6 years of bodybuilding and clean eating, I had the following symptoms: bodyfat gain of 15 percent (had been at 8-10 for about 6 years), acne on face (NEVER had acne before even when taking anavar), hair loss, and fogginess, TREMENDOUS loss of motivation in the gym. Was diagnosed with VERY LOW HOROMONES three years ago after a competition, was put on cytomel, 30 mcgs daily and .025 synthroid daily...Never had period in 6 years. Now have had three periods in the last three months, but irregular and light, and have blue feet and low body temperature. After much research, I thought I was suffering from metabolism shutdown from over training and clean eating (VERY LOW CARB) for too long. Endo determined that I was over medicated from thyroid meds and have polycystic ovarian syndrome...He placed me on METAFORMIN and AMOUR THYROID and medication for my acne that he also said is a mile diuretic.
My questions are the following:
1. I have already been eating so low carb, how is it that a TYPE II diabetic medicine is going to help me?
2. Will my body become adapted to the diuretic in the acne medication.
3. I was lifting for 1 hour a day after work and doing cardio in the am 7 days a week, after reading about the overtraining, I took a week off and now have resumed weight lifting for 3 days on, then one day off and cut all the cardio, for fear my body was holding onto fat for the cardio. Is this an appropriate plan?
4. I have not had a cheat meal in three months since I noticed the bodyfat gain, none of my clothes fit and I am MISERALBLE!
Anyone who knows me, knows my tremendous dedication to fitness and clean eating, this situation is HEARTBREAKING to me and I feel HORRIBLE about myself.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you!
