I am 45 yrs old, have resumed training for 7 months, after a 12 yr hiatus. Job and time constraints prevented me from training on a really consistant basis. Since I have been back training, have made reasonable gains. Finally, here is my question. Back in 1987, I was diagnosed with Addison`s Disease and Hypothyroidism. Been taking cortisone and thyroid drugs ever since, and have been pretty damn healthy, all things considered. I know what my doctor will say, meaning NO, but do any of you in the know, think I could do any anabolics safely? If this is a dumbass question, then disregard, just want honest opinions, from knowledgeable people. Thanks

Best,

Lycan

Well the one problem I see is Cortisone, how much and what type are you taking? Cortisone inhibits muscle growth to a big degree and AAS will interfere with it. Not really sure on this one. But you would need to do a lot more research to see what interactions would take place. The thyroid drugs are not really at issue but the cortisone is.

Here are the dosages and types, Cortef 30mg twice daily, or 60mg a day, Florinef 1/2 of a 0.1mg tablet once a day. Yeah, I know it inhibits my muscle building abilities and it really sux, train my ass off for minimal gains. Thanks for your time and comments.
