hey dude, if you have hypERthyroidism, i believe that is a high thyroid level, rather than low. This is known to cause fatigue, and definitely weight loss, so theoretically would make muscle gain a lot harder

hypOthyroidism is low thyroid level, and can cause weight gain.

Both can cause severe fatigue. Some non prescription solutions that are know to help are to make sure you are getting enough B vitamins, and also some people have commented on a chinese herb called schizandra which helps with the fatigue.

Sorry i cant be of any more help mate, i got all that from the research i did before doing a t3 cycle! good luck anyhow

i've tried many training methods before, and the worst for me personally was training more than 2 days without a rest day in between. I would suggest you eat atleast 1 gr/lb of protein too. how's your sleep? do you get atleast 7-8 hrs daily? quality of sleep? water intake? do you sleep and wake up at the same times daily?
I just know that when i train a lot (more than 4 days a week) and do cardio 5 times per week or more... i get fried after 6-8 weeks and i just feel tired all the time. try taking a break from training for a week, and get some rest.
Ofcourse, the best thing to do is go and tell all of this to your doctor and see what he has to say.

What are your Thyroid-levels? Can you post blood work?
They usually look at T3 T4 and TSH.
Synthroid is T4 that converts to T3 the form in which thyroid is utilized from.
A high TSH level indicates low T3 levels-meaning your pituatary is pumping out thyroid stimulating hormone because it doesn't sense enough T3.
Everyone is different, and most docs go by blood work and not by how you feel unfortunately.

Be sure to get the T3 T4 AND TSH. Some Docs just go by the 3 or 4 and neglect the TSH.
