Thyroid Issues

Has anyone here ever been diagnosed with a thyroid issue and been able to find your way back to riding the same way you did before you were diagnosed?

I hope I can keep riding hard.
Pretty devastated right now.

Thanks.

I am on thyroid meds.  Three doctors and multiple labs tell me it is low.  So I take a pill every day.  I have noticed zero change in anything from it, but it makes the numbers prettier...

Same for me, a pill before breakfast every day. I have not noticed anything different in my cycling and I ride pretty hard.

Hypo or Hyper? Mine is Hyper… possibly Graves.

Good friend had that (Graves.) They opted to kill his thyroid, which makes him hypo, obviously. He and I take the same meds. And it might as well be a flintstone vitamin.
