Swale-Thyroid problem

Swale, Could doing a cycle cause Graves disease? I'm 48, 6'6", 255lbs, 18-20%bf, training for 5 years, I did my first cycle of 500mg test enthanate and 300mgs of Equipose for 12 weeks. Didn't gain any weight. Saw my doctor about some sensitivity (for about 8 weeks) in my neck lymph glands. He imaged me etc. and said I have the beginnings of Graves disease. Do you think a cycle could have caused this? Is it OK to cycle again once I get things under control? I also have ulcerative colitis. Thanks

I do konw this if you levels change fast it can make your thyroid go nuts until you level off. When I was first trying to get my E2 down I went to low very fast and I posted this and was told my Thyroid can act up temporally. So if you had a big change and then got your Thrroid checked it could be off. Get it tested after you level off.

Are the "levels" you're talking about testosterone levels? What is E2? I'm assuming my test levels fluctuated alittle due to using a long ester.

I am sorry E2 is Estradiol most of us on TRT are finding out that some of the T gets converted into E2. High E2 did in my sex life for over 10 yrs.

I am sure Swale will say it is not ok to use steriods for any reason unless it is for a legitimate medical purpose.

Right Matt, that's exactly what he'll say.

I think that no one is answering your question about Graves disease because no one who has read your post knows the answer. Kind of a collective, "I've never heard of that."

 

[SWALE]

Right.
