Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 Thanks, Val. You know, this group is invaluable. When I try to talk to other people who have no knowledge or experience with the disease, they invariably think I'm just coddling my daughter too much! I'm not that type of person in the first place so it really makes me mad. I'll be checking with the doctor soon. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 What kinds of exercises are reasonable for Graves' people? My daughter likes to bike but with her heart rate averaging 108 during the day, I'm unsure of what's all right for her to do. Opinions? Experiences? Our entire family enjoy walking; how about that? Thanks! Amy's Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 Hi Amy's Pam, Amy should really not be doing any exercise until her numbers come down and her heart rates slows to a more normal pace. Her heart is already working overtime, adding to it would probably not be very safe for her right now. I know when I had thyroid storm, the one thing they were very concerned with was that my heart had been working overtime for so long and so hard, that they were afraid it had become enlarged. The heart can do that, just as any other muscle we work. Tell Amy, patience for a few weeks longer, when things settle down, she can get back to her normal activities. I have 2 doctor names and a phone number for you from my doctor. I will send them to you privately, then you can call and talk to the doctors about BRT with children, or you can pass them on to your daughters endo if he is interested in it. I'll send them on to ou in a little while.
