Guest guest Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 I just thought about this today. During this week, while I'm taking isocort, and not on my Armour, is it OK for me to do my regular exercise each day? Is that an added stressor that will make the treatment less effective? If I should skip it, at what point could I begin again?

Generally, when I'm really doing what I should, I do 55 minutes on the treadmill at a level 7-8 intensity level, which for me means 15-20 minutes walking at 4.4 mph, then running the rest in 10-15 minutes increments at 4.7-4.8 mph. However, lately exercising that way does leave me totally fatigued for the rest of the day.... can't stay awake. This morning I only did 45 min, and just walked at 4.3 mph. Still got sweaty, but don't feel wiped out from it now at lunch time. > another option is to take extra adrenal supplements about 20 minutes > before you excercise.

I took my adrenals about an hour before exercise this morning, but will take them closer tomorrow. 7.5 is what I took. I appreciate all this information!! I'm trying to wrap my mind around it all as I keep learning more things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
