Thank you adenure and cmac.
I had been training for a century bike ride when I first noticed my symptoms. When the day came for the century, I felt a little punk but figured I’d feel better as the day went on. At mile 75, I simply couldn’t go another foot and sagged in.
Coincidentally I had a checkup the week before. Got the blood work as I was “recovering” from the ride, giving me my first indication of GD. The symptoms seemed to really flower after the century…hoarseness, fatigue, muscle aches, swollen ankles, weight loss.
I really miss exercise. But I’m taking it easy. My endocrinologist advises against it for now. I’m still hoping to participate in a charity ride from San Francisco to LA next June…but I realize that may not happen.
