Guest guest Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I understand that strenuous exercise is not advisable when trying to heal the adrenals, so I haven't been to the gym in weeks. I'm really missing it and I can almost see the muscle dissolving off of my body. I've actually lost several pounds since beginning Isocort over two months ago, but I'm afraid that most has been muscle as the belly fat has not decreased proportionally. My question is about endurance - I am finding that it is even more difficult, for example, to complete a longish walk with my dog. Less than three months ago I was walking every day and working out three days/week for around an hour with virtually no rest in between exercises. Granted I usually felt like hell the next day, but I felt pretty good while I was there and was able to get through most workouts. Do I understand correctly that what was probably happening is that I was living off of adrenaline b/c my adrenals were no longer able to keep up with enough cortisol? At some point does the endurance come back, or not as long as we're on the HC? I am really struggling to understand this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
