Re: Weight training, anyone?/Amy

[Guest guest]

Hi Amy,

Up until about a year and a half ago I worked out at the gym, cardio

and weight training.

Then my hypothyroidism hit big time and my adrenals about pooped

themselves right out and I stopped everything.

Just two weeks ago I started back. What is important is to make

time, do only what you feel right doing ---do not over do it our

adrenals will get mad at us! AND most importantly for ME....I take

unrefined salt throughout my workout and I feel great!!! Plus drink

good water with it.

I'm working my way back to it...I feel good...the salt for me was the

key. And yes you are right...strong muscles keep our bones from

injury as easily...and you feel so much better with a little spring

in your step from strong muscles!

BUT before this I could not exercise. At all. For me the salt made

all the difference.

I am still working out now too but the weight loss stopped after about 5

pounds and goes right back on the minute I take a day off.

I was reading on a group for people with thyroids ablated with radiation;

they take much lower doses of T3/T4 than we do here. I sure wish I could

figure out the right dose. It seems higher is not helping.

I am going to have to switch over to Tertroxin soonish Val. Is it wise to up

the dose when switching over to compensate for the difference in strength?

I tried walking yesterday and felt fine while doing it. I went from doing one

lap to two and then did a tiny bit of landscaping afterward. Granted it was hot

even early in the morning, but the rest of the day I just fell out! Was so

tired!

Is this how one feels after exercising when adrenals are low? My hips hurt so

bad that I could not sleep last night either. This could be fibro related too.

Actually this is how hypo causes Fibro pain. You used up ALL your cortisol then

when it went low thyroid could no longer get to the cells, and oyu immediately

go hypo. hypo pain is HORRIBLE. I knwo I used to have hip and back pain so bad I

was on pain meds all the time for it.

I think it's the Tetroxin that's not helping too. It's just not doing it for me

like Cytomel did. I should have asked here before going ahead and ordering.

But it had been so long I thought I had the same med as before.

And it sure didn't take much activity to use up my cortisol reserve!!! Talk

about learning patience!

Thanks Val for your explanation. It really helps.

I only know how it affects ME it may be different for you so I would

keep the dose the same and go by temps and pulse to adjust it.

Not similar but I wonder if a protein powder drink before and/or after

exercising would help your body to recover?

Just a thought.

I just finished the Broda book and I am going to try his high fat

diet approach.

I eat high protein and according to him, one needs way more thyroid

supplementation when on a high protein diet. I had never read that before.

Anyone here tried this?

I wonder the same thing. I finally feel better in the late afternoons and I

exercise and feel pretty good for the rest of the night. The next morning I

feel terrible. I have tried taking HC before bed, in the morning, after a

work out, increasing the T3 dose, etc, but still worn out the next morning

and mornings in general.

The later I sleep the worse I feel. Anyone have similar experiences?

I guess from what Val has written that we don't have enough reserve cortisol to

enable us to exercise. I miss it so much. My muscles have wasted to the point

that I'm looking and feeling a lot older. This just happened during the last

six months when my fibro flared so badly.

I'm doing better so far as normal activity. The exhaustion was definitely

improving until I pushed myself yesterday. But when I look at it, is a mere two

laps really pushing it??? Geez.

Don't mean to be crying in my soup.

I used to get really wiped out after my workouts. For me it does

correlate to the cardio though. I just have to be careful how much

and how strenuous the cardio gets. I'm now to where I can do 30

minutes or a little more on the bike and I don't feel wiped out.

Recently starting detoxing with the new QRS system we got and I love

it. It really makes me feel good and it's almost totally fixed my

foot (plantar fasciitis).

I feel like crap if I sleep too late.
