Seeing some improvement in health . . . finally ;)

That's good news Jiffer! I'm sure it made you feel great to get out on a ride like that, it was a good morale booster even if the consequences showed up the following week. It's still gotta make you feel very good. It's tough to be on the sidelines

With your determination you will be riding as in days gone bye, perhaps even better!

Glad to hear it. Hope you continue to improve and get back to where you want to be.

Good news! So glad you're seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. Hang in there - hoping you're back to normal ASAP!

A new cycling friend of mine was telling me about her challenges and she totally believes she has Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. I had never heard of it but in researching is does sound like similar issues.
Fingers crossed with your seeing success. Meanwhile, relax and enjoy the shorter slower rides, go pick some new routes so you don't have to compare your new self to the old self.

Glad to hear you are doing better. It sounds like you are in a good frame of mind and doing the most important thing by listening to your body. My motto is something is better than nothing so whatever ride you are able to do would be fine in my book
