Re: Hyperthyroidism and racing an IM in July [savner]
Dredging up a zombie thread here. I recently went to the doctor for some problems that I have been having, and it turns out that I have hyperthyroidism. I am scheduled with an endocrinologist next week. I have found very little information in the scientific literature, except for one interesting paper that found that thyroid levels were temporarily increased (in a completely different demographic) after a hard workout. I had ridden 65 miles the day before, so maybe that affected the results?
I am wondering if anyone here has found there were special concerns regarding their training and treatment. Obviously, I am going to make sure the endocrinologist understands that when I say I workout, I don't mean aqua aerobics twice a week. Is there anything else I should be aware of going into the appointment?

FWIW, my next big race is a 50k next month.
