The worse way my body betrayed me.

2024.05.31 17:27 HeyItsMeeps The worse way my body betrayed me.

A couple years ago I was classified as obese. I am a fit, strong woman. I worked a hard labour job regularly, could lift 340lbs, jogged 5k once per month, and was literally perfect on my health chart.
Except for the pain of carrying my weight at 250lbs. My back and legs were just broken all the time from me trying to live my life. When I would wake up and get out of bed my ankles would crack for up to twenty minutes after I woke just from the accumulated fluid in my joints.
I figured it was high time to, y'know, lose some weight.
I lose about 60lbs in 8 months through a strict diet. I still ate about 2k calories every day but had a ton of work lifting weights, cardio, and my general job that had me in that sweet spot to lose weight. I surprisingly lost very little muscle through this whole thing too.
I know 190 sounds like a lot still but considering I had a 27" waist I was satisfied with it.
I got another blood test after and my doctor said I was in perfect health. After losing the weight I tapered off my exercise and eased to just 4x's per week intensive and bumped up to maintenance calories. I felt great, looked great, and was very comfortable with my body.
Then the problems began.
I was fainting, then getting panic attacks. My BP was all over the place. The lowest was 90/56, and the highest was 137/90. I couldn't eat candy as it would make my mouth sting and my teeth feel like they were falling out. I had to quit caffeine altogether even though I wasn't using pre-workout at all.
The entire time I was on a strict and solid diet that met all nutrient qualifications, I was getting everything I needed, but apparently the blood volume in my body was greatly decreasing and I wasn't aware since I was stressing my body every day, which indirectly forced my BP up. I never even thought about my bp before since my entire family has high bp, I just assumed I would be too. It only because obvious when I stopped.
So now I'm on b12, have to drink my leg's weight in electrolytes and water every day, and have gained about 15lbs back to help ease everything out. I even stopped going to the gym for a couple months to reset everything and hated that. I get frustrated trying to get back to that lower weight because anytime I try my body freaks out at me.
So yeah, your body betrays you even when you try to do right by it.

2024.05.31 15:47 VisiblePlankton7959 How to distinguish from average PMS symptoms?

My boyfriend suspects I have PMDD - I’m not super convinced I do. I’m a pretty even keeled person for the most part. Around my period I do have a tendency to feel a little bit more sad, anxious or depressed than usual but I wouldn’t characterize it as anything extreme.
He’s pushing me to talk to my doctor / get diagnosed because he believes that we always get into arguments around the time of my period / that’s the cause of it. I do often get emotional during arguments but he will say I get “hysterical”. I’ve pushed back on this because I don’t consider getting generally upset, and tearing up or trying to hold back tears as “hysterical”. I’m never sobbing or anything like that. I get emotional because often we’re talking about things that I feel really threaten our relationship.
For example: he’s been unemployed since January and has only been putting in minimal effort to get a job despite telling me he is working on it. He spends nearly all day everyday playing video games. He also gets upset when I ask him about the job search because he feels like I’m putting pressure on him. So i stopped asking randomly but we agreed to have weekly talks about our relationship - where i will bring up how his lack of effort is making me feel - because it DOES effect our relationship.
Sometimes I’ll also get upset with him because I generally take care of cleaning the house. Maybe a couple times a year he’ll clean the bathroom or mop the floor. I have suggested so many different ways to split chores, chore charts etc and he just says that those things make him feel too anxious. So i just have come to accept it. Its more work for me to fight w him about it. He’s responsible for trash and unloading the dishwasher. Sometimes he doesn’t do even that so i get frustrated. I work a full time job, workout, and we split cooking dinner so i don’t feel like I’m asking a lot. He does have ADHD so i try to be understanding but he’s also a grown man and i expect him to act like one.
These are just a couple examples. There is more i could go into but i don’t want to make this a mile long. I feel like my frustrations with him are understandable things to get upset about. He feels that I’m overreacting and there must be something more (like PMDD) to how I’m feeling. I have sat him down and said that i feel strongly about these arguments because I cannot see a future with someone that does NOTHING with their time or their life. Before January he worked a contract job for less than part time hours. He’s a very sweet and loving person - and yes sometimes i react passive aggressively to his lack of care - I’m working on that in therapy. But our arguments are never yelling or screaming. Just me trying to tearfully share how upset i am.
He characterizes it thay i go all Jekyll and Hyde around period so i MUST have PMDD or something else. I feel like he’s refusing to accept responsibility by pushing the blame on me / my emotions.

2024.05.31 11:18 iaimpax YEP, AGAIN from Colorfulkoala: LULU DUPE gone PRO.

YEP, AGAIN from Colorfulkoala: LULU DUPE gone PRO.
So I bought a pair of Colorfulkoala leggings a few years ago from Amazon. They did their job, but they definitely weren’t a Lulu dupe at all. Recently, their videos promoting the Dreamlux line on TikTok have gone viral, so I bought a pair on Amazon (forgive me, I am a legging addict).
Guys, when I tell you these are an Align dupe, I absolutely mean it. They remind me of the old Align back in 2020—they are matte and beautifully brushed. The quality of the leggings is top-notch, comparable to other brand names like LLL, Athleta, or Vuori. I ordered them in many colors and wear them almost every day to the gym. They are my go-to gym leggings and everyday leggings because the quality is so good, and they never roll up or get bunched!
Don't buy their old stuff. Try their new Dreamlux line, and you'll thank me later.

2024.05.30 15:19 mansplanar 95 Hinge prompt answers to inspire your profile

The art of putting together the perfect dating app profile—one that’s honest, eye-catching, and also tells the world, "Swipe right on me, I actually am this cool IRL"—can be tricky. How, you might ask, can I sum up everything I’m about with just a few short words and pictures? Thankfully, prompts exist for this very reason: to give prospective matches a sense of who you are so that you don’t have to wrack your brain for vague “bio” language that could range anywhere from your birth chart, to your favourite quote from The Office, neither of which really give people too much practical information about you. (Sorry!)
Hinge lets you display answers to three prompts, but there are tons of options to choose from (including voice prompts!), which can make deciding what to share kind of a challenge. If you’re stumped, go through them one by one and ask yourself: What’s most important for my matches to know about me? What questions can I answer to really highlight the things I love about myself? What questions give my matches the most information possible, while making them want to know more?
Once you’ve picked your prompts, it’s time to get creative and make your Hinge prompt answers really shine. That’s where we—professional writers and dating connoisseurs, if we do say so ourselves—come in. We’ve compiled a list of sample answers to some of the most common Hinge prompts. Feel free to use these as inspo for your own profile, but don’t be afraid to (in fact you should) customise them to fit your own personality.

2024.05.30 07:24 pointless_patty Do Bengalis workout?

Do Bengalis workout?
Gonna poke at a stereotype that I have grown up hearing about us - that Bengalis are not physically fit.
For the millennials and zillenials, especially from Kolkata- we lived on fast food and gave our academic scores more importance than physical fitness.
I only joined a gym last year, after I hit 30. I can't even emphasise the amount of benefit I have been reaping off my regular workouts. I was your standard nerd in school and college that hated sports, but lately I have been doing all kinds of stuff starting from regular cardio to zumba to swimming to weightlifting.
My friends have been very supportive of my journey, and some of them have also enrolled in gyms or workout centers. However, it's a little disheartening to see most of them dropping off either after they've gotten to their target weight or just stop training because they couldn't keep up anymore.
I wanted to know the community's take on working out. As a Bengali -
  1. How many days a week do you work out?
  2. How long have you been working out for?
  3. What are your go-to workout activities?
  4. Did you make dietary changes since you started working out?
(Also, the photo is me wrapping up my 20 mins of cycling in the gym as I type. I'm not big on gym photos, so this is all I could manage!)

2024.05.29 20:51 whootsandladders Health Connect question

I saw that Polar recently enabled Health Connect. Hurray! That means I no longer need to (and actually Polar Flow doesn't even let me) use Google Fit as a connection point between Polar Flow and other services.
However the use-case I care about is Polar Flow sharing my heart rate chart/data to other services along with the workout itself. On a workout this week, the other service knows about it from the Polar Flow/Health Connect connection, but it just gets the activity and the duration (indoor workout, so no GPS data). It doesn't appear to have received heart rate data.
Has anyone played around with Health Connect yet? Is it a setting I need to change somewhere? Or is Polar Flow really intending to send a minimum amount of info?
Thanks!

2024.05.29 18:27 Routine_Grapefruit60 Bowflex Treadmill T18 / T7 - Belt & Incline not working. Help

I have a T18 (T7) model with an Android screen.
The belt and incline aren't functioning. When I select a manual workout, everything appears to work on the screen, but nothing moves. Initially, I thought it might be a Motor Control Board problem (bad caps, transistors etc) or a damaged I/O cable.
Interestingly, the belt and incline do work in calibration mode, and I even get a "CALIBRATE MCB - PASS" message. When I manually move the belt, the speed indicator shown on the screen increases, which suggests that the I/O cable and MCU are functioning correctly.
I've checked the MCB transistors and capacitors with a voltmeter, and they are fine. There is full continuity for the I/O cable from the console to the MCU. I also performed a reset using the button on the back, which completed the 'Firmware Golden Image in progress' process.
The reset of course is not a full factory level reset, because it seems to remember the wifi password and my JRNY email address. I am thinking about somehow taking it back to Android OS and then loading the Bowflex software. Would anyone have the factory APK files the treadmill comes with?
Any ideas on what might be causing this issue?
Thanks in advance for your help!

🔗UFC Pro Fitness Training Gloves - Multi-Purpose Boxing Glove for Sparring, Bag Work, and Mitt Work


https://preview.redd.it/8g514qpi2b3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=81687378e4ef0b93a548ff5be93ac921bb61ecfd
Experience top-notch training with the UFC Pro Fitness Training Glove. As someone who's put these gloves through their paces in the gym, I can confidently say that they've been a game-changer for my workouts. The compact design, coupled with the one-piece molded foam, provides maximum protection and comfort during sparring, bag work, and mitt work.
What stood out to me was the additional padding on the palm, which offered much-needed support and cushioning during intense training sessions. The reinforced thumb and palm, along with the double-stitched strap, ensured the gloves stayed firmly in place, preventing any shifting or discomfort.
The durable. 8mm PU outer material, combined with the mesh hand compartment, made my hands feel cool and dry even after hours on end of rigorous workouts. It's clear that the designers thought of every detail when crafting these gloves. However, no product is perfect. One minor downside I noticed was that the gloves were a bit heavy, which took some getting used to initially.
In conclusion, if you're in the market for high-quality, multi-purpose training gloves, the UFC Pro Fitness Training Glove is definitely worth considering. Its impressive features and performance have made it a reliable addition to my fitness routine.

🔗Professional Lace Sparring Gloves - Top-quality Design for Enhanced Protection and Comfort


https://preview.redd.it/c36xza2j2b3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=74b7a88b0b7eadbc9d57bf28a500a5c7b90d545e
The Pro Mex Professional Lace Sparring Gloves V3.0 were a game-changer in my daily boxing routine. The blue and white design added a touch of flair to my gear, while the long cuffs provided excellent wrist support and coverage. The 100% genuine cowhide leather felt durable and high-quality, offering both style and protection.
One of the standout features was the layered latex "memory" foam padding that provided excellent protection and a comfortable feel. It absorbed shocks with ease, making it perfect for intense sparring sessions. The gloves were also crafted with an equal weight distribution, ensuring a balanced and comfortable fit throughout the day.
The nylon satin water-repellent inside lining was a practical addition, keeping my hands dry during sweaty workouts. The attached thumb and articulated cuff further enhanced the gloves' overall fit and functionality. While the gloves were great, I did notice that they could be a bit heavy for some users, which might be something to consider when making a purchase.

🔗2022 Pedroia Fit A2000 Pro Gloves for Baseball Infielders


https://preview.redd.it/s77vathj2b3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a98d52d52be044e2c5850a14137bc58cfa20c423
I recently had the chance to use the Wilson 11.5'' DP15 Pedroia Fit A2000 Series Glove, Blonde in my daily life, and I have to say, it's quite impressive. The glove has a Pedroia Fit and TravelFit integration that delivers the same performance benefits of the original A2000 Series with minor internal changes.
One of my favorite features is the narrower finger stalls. As a baseball player, hand strength is crucial, and this glove maximizes it. Additionally, the smaller hand opening ensures a more secure fit for smaller hands, which I found incredibly useful.
The glove also includes A2000 features like Pro Stock Select, American Steerhide for rugged durability and an unmatched feel, and Dual Welting for a durable pocket and a long-lasting break-in. Plus, it has Pro Stock Patterns that are constantly improving.
During my time using the glove, I also took advantage of its DRI-LEX wrist lining that's ultra-breathable and transfers moisture from the skin. The flat finger binding also provides a softer and more comfortable feel with greater finger protection in the field.
Overall, using the Wilson 11.5'' DP15 Pedroia Fit A2000 Series Glove, Blonde has been an excellent experience. The break-in time was impressive, and the glove offers excellent fit and feel.

Earlier this baseball season, I was on the hunt for a new pair of batting gloves for my kid. The Franklin CFX Pro Hi-Lite Batting Gloves in medium caught my eye. I decided to give it a try as they claimed to be the most popular on-field model used by MLB pros.
The moment he put these gloves on, he was amazed by how nicely they felt. The unique tectonic-fit inserts on the backhand provided added flexibility and the one-piece Pittards Digital cabretta leather palm ensured a superior grip in all conditions. The yellow color stood out, and the coaches loved the look of them too.
Though my son initially found the size a bit large, he quickly adapted. The CFX Pro series certainly lived up to its promise of a perfect fit around the bat handle thanks to Quad-Flex Technology. With regular use, the gloves have held up quite well, even with plenty of heavy play. However, they're on the pricier side compared to other options in the market.
Overall, the Franklin CFX Pro Hi-Lite Batting Gloves provided a solid batting experience for my son, and I would definitely recommend them to other families who are serious about the sport.

Buyer's Guide

Welcome to our 44 Pro Gloves buying guide! In this section, we will discuss the key features, considerations, and general advice for purchasing the right 44 Pro Gloves for your needs.

The material of the 44 Pro Gloves is a crucial factor to consider. High-quality gloves typically feature durable materials that protect the hands from cold, moisture, and harsh conditions. Common materials include leather, synthetic fabrics, and insulated materials. Leather, for example, offers excellent protection and durability. Synthetic fabrics, on the other hand, provide insulation and are often more lightweight. Research and compare the materials used in different 44 Pro Gloves to find the best one for your needs.

Fit

Fit is another essential aspect of 44 Pro Gloves. Gloves that are too tight can cause discomfort and restrict blood flow, while those that are too loose may not offer proper protection. Measure your hand circumference and compare it with the manufacturer's size chart to ensure the best fit. Some brands offer adjustable cuffs and wrist straps to provide a more comfortable fit. A well-fitting glove will not only provide optimal protection but also enhance dexterity and grip.

Insulation

Insulation is another important factor when choosing 44 Pro Gloves. The insulation level should match the intended use and environment in which you will be using the gloves. For colder climates, look for gloves with higher insulation levels, while those for more moderate temperatures can offer less insulation. Insulation materials may include down, synthetic fibers, or other insulated materials. Research the insulation levels and materials used in the 44 Pro Gloves you are considering to find the best option for your requirements.

Waterproofness and Breathability

Waterproofing and breathability are essential features for 44 Pro Gloves, especially in wet or humid conditions.

Additional Features

Some 44 Pro Gloves offer additional features that can enhance their functionality and performance. These may include touchscreen-compatible fingertips, reflective elements for visibility, or reinforced palm areas for improved grip. Research the additional features offered by different 44 Pro Gloves to find the ones that best fit your needs and preferences.

2024.05.29 02:27 Primary_Wishbone3790 Bench?

About a year ago i started working out in my basment with a set of dumbbells and a bench (no weight rack or weights just the actual bench) and a bowflex. Now i have been able to bench the 50s on my dumbbells (which is the highest they go) for about 20 something reps with no leg drive. Ive done research most places say i can get about 160-180 on a barbell bench for my one rep max. I now workout at an actual gym but i don't barbell bench often and don't have it in my routine actually. Today i tried it out cause i had some extra time and i was only able to get 135 for about 3-5 good reps. I didn't feel any fatigue or struggle in my muscle i just couldn't do it. It was not like any other exercise where i go for a pr instead i just couldn't do it that well but i knew i could because i felt no actual struggle. Ive looked everywhere and asked people at my gym for help and they all say my form is great. So i now wonder if maybe i just have to bench more often now and that'll fix it.

2024.05.28 20:35 Knicgimmegimme Dietician vs. Surgeon with me in the middle

Let me first start off by saying, my program has generally been really great, well-coordinated, and robust with sound information.
I’m one month post-op, total loss of 24lbs since date of surgery. Do I wish it was more? Absolutely, but I will find some solace in the fact I wouldn’t have lost this much in this amount of time otherwise. My program also provided an anticipated weight loss curve graph based on my own stats to ensure I stay on track/manage expectations. I’m on track despite currently being in a stall (which I know is normal).
Week one and two went well considering. Week three, which was when I was cleared to do soft foods, brought difficulties with meeting my fluid intake. Got through week three and four trying out some new behaviors and am now meeting both fluid and protein goals without issue. Also, I’m walking at least two miles per day. I put my Orangetheory membership on a one month freeze due to surgery and will be returning to that in two weeks. I typically workout 4-5x per week.
I’ve met with my nutritionist weekly (so grateful). The plan is to remain within 500-700 calories from week 6/8 - 3 months, obviously with the goal of prioritizing fluid and protein goals.
I met with my surgeon for the first time today post-op and he’s given me conflicting information. I was discussing my stall and he launched into a rather unattuned response in which he stated: 1) the nutritionist would recommend an increase in calories around this time (the aforementioned plan) but disagrees and would recommend “300 - 500 calories max” through six months. 2) He wants me to lose more than what the anticipated weight loss chart is recommended. He then started throwing out weight loss metrics at me (I.e. “if you maintain a four pound weight loss every week, by x, you’ll weigh x.”). Frankly, I started to tune out, as I have a history of disordered eating, in multiple forms, and I don’t find that particular type of approach to be helpful for me to be comprehensively successful.
ANNNND I want to make sure I’m using my tool to the fullest extent. This, in addition to some vulnerability I feel around being in a stall (which I cognitively know is normal), as well as an increase in hunger this past week (legitimate hunger, not head hunger), I’m somewhat at a loss of what to do moving forward. The part of me that wants to lose, lose, lose and says “yeah, 300 calories per day will maximize loss!” is LOUD. I also don’t feel this is sustainable. Additionally, I know people often squander away the “honeymoon phase” of their surgery and don’t want to do that either.
Thoughts? Feedback?

2024.05.27 21:00 junkopartner-1955 Intensity Minutes vanished; Garmin Support couldn't solve

My watch is Garmin Forerunner 965, which ran beautifully for six months with my Tacx Flux 2 cycle trainer, Tacx Training app and Connect app. I also use an HRM Pro + HR strap. A month ago, my Intensity Minutes completely disappeared. Despite 4-5 weekly cycling workouts, in which I spend much time in high HR zones, those minutes no longer appear in Garmin Connect or the watch. I can see all data during the workout in the Tacx Training app. At the end of a workout, after the data is ported over to the Connect app, Intensity Minutes are recorded as 0! This is despite the fact Connect shows stats for avg./max heart rate and charts for heart rate across the whole workout. All other metrics, like training effect, power, speed, cadence, etc. -- also appear typically within Garmin Connect. So, all the data to calculate Intensity Minutes is present. But I still get 0.
Garmin support said I should run my workouts through the Forerunner 965, pairing the HRM Pro + with the watch. The support person said Tacx Trainer is a third-party app, and Garmin Connect cannot reliably process data from the trainer app. Yet, for many months, everything worked fine!!! The advice could have been clearer, but I tried different pairings to see if anything worked. No success. If the HR strap is paired with the Tacx Trainer, it can't pair with the watch—and vice versa. The HR strap also doesn't pair well with the watch when I am on the trainer.
I understand these are complex devices. Sometimes, things go haywire. But can anyone shed some light on this problem so that I can restore my Intensity Minutes?

2024.05.27 17:02 Judonoob Heart rate stuck at 69bpm while sleeping

Heart rate stuck at 69bpm while sleeping
HR increased to 69 BPM randomly and went down to 65 BPM before going back to normal resting rates
Increased HR was calculated as stress
Has anyone else seen a heart rate and stress graph similar while sleeping?
I'm no stranger to weird heart things, but yesterday was odd. I had quite a few PVCs a few hours after a one-hour Z2 ride and a Prime Rehydrate drink. I think the high potassium level in the drink (700mg) may have thrown off my electrolyte levels. Around 5 pm, I took a calcium channel blocker to chill out my heart due to the nearly 10% PVC burden I was having at the time.
The charts are from last night, the sleep session after the workout. I'm wondering if I may have had an episode of AFIB to have my heart rate stuck at a particular BPM for so long. I've seen this before, but usually for shorter periods of time.
And yes, I know the standard response: talk to your doctor. There really isn't anything actionable here for my cardiologist to work with. He gave me the calcium-channel blockers to help manage PVC flares such as this one yesterday. Part of the complication is being treated for hyperthyroidism and having pretty high calcitonin levels, which I believe are throwing off my calcium plasma levels as well as increasing T3 and T4 back to normal levels since the meds made me go very hypothyroid.

2024.05.26 22:41 realistdreamer69 Leaving Noom after success - sorta

Jun 27th 2023 - May 26th 2024
I restarted Noom last June at 236lbs and am about 2lbs from my goal. Since I'll be stopping the major aspects of using the app/service after I reach the year mark, I thought I'd share what I learned about myself and Noom.

What I learned about myself

  1. Stinkin' Thinkin'. Despite having lost 40lbs more than once in the past, I still had most of the debilitating thoughts that caused the weight to return.
    1. All or nothing thinking that I was eating/exercising perfectly or totally screwing up
    2. Focusing on the scale and not the habits
    3. Leaning into deprivation as a long-term strategy.
  2. Pearls of wisdom
    1. It's all about consistency. The good days far "outweigh" the bad days so just get back to it after that slip 💪🏿
    2. I can eat the foods I love (in moderation), but be ruthless about the difference between like and love 😍
    3. Go to sleep. 💤 So many gains have been sacrificed to my desire to get just a little more done in a day. I now understand the cost of that mindset and doing better at getting the sleep my body needs to burn fat and build muscle.
    4. Exercising when I don't have to (with appropriate rest) is part of my new "athlete's mindset" so I park far from the building, only take the stairs and no longer complain about the physicality of yard work, housework or other daily activities.

My Noom alterations

  1. Intermittent fasting. I haven't eaten breakfast regularly for months. I'm routinely not hungry until 11am, so I just push that to 12pm and I eat a reasonably large lunch and moderately large dinner. While others debate the health benefits of intermittent fasting, I see it as a way to eat satisfying meals and still have a day with fewer calories than I ate before. Not sure I'll keep it up, but it actually makes life simpler in two ways: 1) One less meal to plan for, and 2) Breakfast tends to be the meal with most calorie dense carbs anyway. Since I reduced carbs and eat plenty of protein, I'm no longer hungry.
  2. I stopped reading and tracking 20lbs ago. It's a good practice, but since this was my second go around with Noom, I felt like that wasn't my issue
  3. Personal coaching. Given I wasn't using Noom to track food, weight (fitbit) or do reading, midway in I decided to pay for the personal coaching. It substituted the reading to keep me accountable and focused on building habits which is what I knew I'd need to maintain the weight once I reached my target.

Why I'm "leaving" Noom

Why I'm not really leaving for good

There is no shame in getting help when you need it. I consider myself an eating addict (not a food addict). My health journey continues and I will do my best to continue learning and improving. I expect I might want help again before I die. There's no shame in that and I'll now seek that help far sooner than I have in the past. I won't wait for 15lbs of slippage. I'll get help, not based on the scale but if I see the habits faltering.
Thanks for reading this long post. I hope it helps someone else and I'm sure I'll reread it when I need it myself.

2024.05.25 16:16 Ummmmm_Maybe Low Cortisol but Very High Testosterone

Hi! New to Reddit posting but know everyone will be honest and I need some guidance. I recently got my hormones tested via a saliva test. I have extremely low cortisol and off the charts testosterone for my age (35) (I’ll attach the results) the medical provider recommended a high protein low carb diet, modify my workout to a more balanced and slower paced workout( I love HIIT classes) recommended supplements and progesterone. She advised cream but I’d prefer pills which she’s fine with me taking. I’ve always fluctuated with my weight and menstrual cycles. I have been having issues getting pregnant, wake up multiple times throughout the night and also night sweats. I constantly feel tired- especially when waking up and I have the most amount of energy in the evening. Would love some input, advice and recommendations. Should I go to my OBGYN and ask for further hormonal testing? My current hormonal MP wants to retest me 90 days post starting progesterone treatment. But would love some advice to regulate my hormones. I’m currently taking supplements which I started last week. Thanks in advance

2024.05.25 03:32 leftatseen How do yall have energy to do anything?

So I’ve been in adhd burnout for at least two years if not more, essentially what led me to get diagnosed in the first place and since I can’t just STOP doing shit, (I’m a parent of a school age kid trying to find work in a new city) I’ve noticed my energy just progressively get worse. My anxiety is off the charts, I’ve cut down on adderall but the days I take it my crashes are awful. Taking magnesium, vit d and iodine supplements, but wondering if yall have any ideas? I am very active, walk at least 6500 steps everyday, but just haven’t been able to get back to strength or hiit workouts because I’m just so tired!
All the time!
In the process of finding a new provider so I can tinker my dose of adderall or maybe find another medication but what I’d really like is a holistic solution. I am at the very lowest dose and even that makes me too hyper sometimes so I wonder if I can find something else that works for me. Definitely need something to regulate the hormones too though, stress and cycle changes make me go bloody insane.
Anyone else?
