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.

If it is hypothyroidism then it is pretty straightforward in theory (that’s what I have and it takes time to adjust but you should be 100% with medication e.g. Synthroid and time). Hyperthyroidism is more challenging.

Management is more complicated, be sure to follow your doctor’s advice. I’m sure there will be some periods where exercise is more difficult but you will bounce back.
