Re: Can You Be Both Hypothyroid and

Hyperthyroid? (Dysautonomia)

I have noticed before that even Shoman can have bad

information. I just read the article more closely, and she

recommends that exercise can help Dysautonomia: " One of the best

treatments for dysautonomia symptoms is regular physical exercise,

which calms down and regulates the autonomic nervous system. "

No.

I have been there. I have experienced it. If a hypothyroid patient

on T4-only meds gets Dysautonomic symptoms, exercise induces it!!

Why?? Because of the inadequacy of T4-only meds. It was ONLY when I

got adequate and direct T3 in my system did my severe autonomic

reaction to exercise stop.

Just keep in mind that what works for one person doesn't work for

another.

There is a problem called Dysautonomia that is mostly found in

Jewish folks, and it is not usually related to thyroid issues. And

in those cases, exercise can help. But if Dysautonomic symptoms are

found as a result of thyroid conditions, exercise can be a monstor.
