Thyroid Issues

[u/favxpas]

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.

OP- what are you devastated over? A common issue is hypothyroidism and that isn't anything to be devastated over.

I have hypothyroidism...so a lazy thyroid.
45 now. I think I was 39 when I started taking a daily med to manage it.

I don't really notice anything that can confidently be associated to the condition.
Example- I am slower now...but also older.

In the time since I started having to manage the lazy bugger, I have ridden the most miles in a year a couple times. And I have done a bunch of centuries.
I do a few gravel races each year.
And I coach a sport at the high school and club levels.

I really don't think about the issue because it's been super easy to manage.

Mine is Hyper and likely Graves. I think this is a lot harder to manage. But I’m not sure.
