Im just curious sense hypothyroidism is a side effect of hgh, if I already have a hypothyroid problem and take t3 @ 25mg per day as prescribed by doc should I stay away from hgh. Ive been taking 2 ius per day 6 on 1 off for 3 months and have had a few problems. Will this cause me greater problems later.

What kind of problems are you having? what meds is your dr prescribing for your hypothyroidism? I currently take synthroid 1.00 mg-started with .25 then .5 then .75 now I'm up to 1.00.

I am currently on synthroid @ .25 day. My thyroid panels during blood work have been my only problem. I just cant figure out if the hgh is to blame or if it is something else. One of the side effects of hgh is hypothyroidism and since Ive already got that I didnt know if the hgh would aggrivate or not.
