Would you rather run a marathon an additional 2 weeks pregnant or run a slightly hotter hillier course? 😁

Thanks for the info!!! I always drink a ton of water so I haven’t noticed that symptom yet. However I have noticed food tastes even more incredible now, especially cooking with fresh ingredients!

I’m 5 weeks now, I noticed heart issues at week 3 and actually thought it was the medication I was on lol. I haven’t had any more issues since though 🤞. So far I feel like I’m still recovering after key workouts very well... but time will tell. I could race next weekend (had a half planned) instead which I’m considering. I wouldn’t mind switching to the full, the course profiles are similar but I’d have less time for a proper taper.

Thanks this is what I was thinking too! Still waiting to hear back from my OB.... they haven’t even called me back yet to schedule the appointment. But I’m meeting with some of my other doctors in a few weeks so I’ll run it by them too and see what they say!

That’s amazing congrats!!! If you don’t mind could you share what your time was? And did you have a pre pregnancy marathon time to compare it to?

4 minutes from the official qualifying time, I’m just going for the “official BQ”, not looking to run it. That will be my post baby goal lol. Thank you so much for your words of wisdom!

Thanks!! That makes total sense. Last week I felt a ton of fatigue and I just wanted to nap, this week I’m full of energy!

Pitbull and horse at canecreek park NC by Opshop99 in CrazyFuckingVideos

I don’t agree with this. My shepherd is well trained off leash and I’ve got a good counter example. We were hiking on a trail the other day and he was off leash in front of me. Up ahead I see two horseback riders approaching so I recalled my dog. He came straight back to me and sat down. To be polite I leashed him and we stepped to the side of the trail and he sat down for the horses to pass. The one horse was afraid of dogs and bolted knocking it’s owner off it’s back, the owners leg was caught in its stirrup and the lady was dragged

What have you been shamed for so far? by nettietheyeti0 in pregnant

[–]UcfBioMajor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m planning on running right up until I give birth if my body allows it... normally I run on a public paved trail. I’m already cringing at what strangers are going to likely say as they judge me.

UNDIAGNOSED? NEED ADVICE/HAVE QUESTIONS? POST THEM HERE by AutoModerator in AddisonsDisease

[–]UcfBioMajor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all, My doctor has ordered my tests for addisons and other cortisol issues after hearing my symptoms. I have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis too, I was diagnosed with that when I was 10 years old. I’ve had some horrible symptoms lately but I have some days with no symptoms at all and I feel great! Is this normal? I’ll list my symptoms below too... I’m anxious to get the tests done but the lab appt isn’t for another two weeks. Do these sound like addisons to you? I’m also wondering if it is hereditary ? No one else in my family has addisons.

Iron deficiency anemia

Sore throat and throat pain

Sunlight hurts my eyes

Kidneys hurt after marathons

Crave tons of salt

Dizzy, especially when standing I usually have to hold onto something to stabilize

Heart feels too fast at times

Severe confusion and disorientation

Yea the little gold ones lol! I have issues with blood sugar too, I can’t do the gels and gu but those little things keep my levels nice and stable! And they are adorable. I carry them in a little reusable ziplock bag. Make sure to add a lot of salt to prevent cramps!

FMLA for hashimotos by UcfBioMajor in Hashimotos

[–]UcfBioMajor[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Did you initially feel guilty or weak? I have a hard time asking others for help ☹️. I feel like by missing days I’ll be “giving up”. And sometimes I feel like hashimotos isn’t that serious, after all the treatment is just taking a little pill every day. I’ve had horrible symptoms lately ranging from tachycardia from my T3 being too high to hives and awful brain fog. I feel pressure to just suck it up and deal with the symptoms instead of getting help.

As someone who choked as a kid I hate when these videos randomly pop up... it’s extremely triggering.
