hypothyroid

[Grits]

Did my six week blood work last week, and my results are in the normal range. (don't know exact level, but should get written results in mail soon).

The only real difference I have felt is on my bike rides. You might know from some other threads that I broke my foot about 11 weeks ago so have been limited to some stationary biking since then. I have just gotten back on the road in the past week and have done three 20 - 24 mile rides - and I felt great! In fact, to my surprise I have lost very little speed and endurance.

Before the accident, I was having some really bad rides. My legs would get very fatigued much sooner than they should, and I had a hard time keeping up even though I was riding more miles per week than anyone else. I blamed it on being one of the older riders and menopause, or maybe I wasn't really training hard enough, but I was secretly a little worried that something worse might be going on. I have felt much better and had more energy on these rides, even being out of training, than I had all summer. I hope it continues and isn't just the adrenaline from being back out on the road!

I take my synthroid at night with no problems.

FYI, you also cannot take it close to eating soy or walnuts.
