I fried my thyroid gland about three years ago. I am not sure what did it but I know it was not T3 or T4.

I must take synthroid every day, for the rest of my life, and it sucks. Before I was diagnosed with a thyroid disorder I suffered from cold feet, depression, lack of mental alertness etc. The depression alone was pure fucking hell. I know others who have fried their thyroid glands with T3 and I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy.

Yes, T3 will help you lose weight. If you are the 10-20% of people though who end up permanently using T3 then it is definitely not worth it.

The thyroid gland regulates so much in the body that IMO it is not worth using it as a drug to lose 5-10lbs that can come off with exercise and diet in a matter of weeks.

Is this because you didnt use it right or do some people just react differently?

I don't fuck around with the thyroid, or at least I try not to.

Just as I said it was not from T3. I think it was from some clen. I will never know. All I do know is that I am on meds forever.

It is also true that everyone reacts differently. Unlike the testes and other glands, the thyroid is very sensitive and even small dosages of T3 (or even mercury) can totally fry the gland and you'll end up being on synthroid for the rest of your life.

Also, read need2's post above. He has been here and is experienced too and he doesn't fuck with his thyroid. That is good advice.

Hmmm.....I did a bunch of research on T3 and didn't find any probs with bros using it in moderation. Makes me wonder cuz I am on my third day of T3 ever right now.
