Hello all,
I'm hoping to start a discussion about training through thyroid problems. There is pretty clearly a connection with endurance training and stress on the thyroid. I am hoping people would be willing to share what has helped them get back to training and racing despite thyroid issues.
Situation: I was diagnosed hypothyroid about 2 years ago. My medication has finally stabilized to a mix of synthroid and cytomel. In general I feel much better than I did two years ago, but I still cannot train hard or race. When I have tough sessions I go into this horrible reaction for a few days. I'm pretty sick of it and really want to train again.
Any suggestions? I am tempted to try armour but my doc says it is terrible stuff, although I've heard of people feeling much better on it.
