| Get another TSH in a month or so. My result was borderline (8.7) - i had thought the lethargy, exhaustion, headaches, dizziness, needing to go to bed at 9pm etc were due to my marathon training. My antibodies were negative - they just record positive when they are over a certain level - . After a second raised TSH (5.8)and lowish T4 (12.8), I was started on thyroxine, and stopped feeling old relatively quickly, could run uphill again and my hair stopped falling out. Interestingly after about a year of treatment my TSH went up further, and I have had to increase the dose. I assume this is when my thyroid packed in completely. I wonder whether us runners get symptoms earlier (ie. at a milder thyroid underactivity) than more sedentary folk as we push our metabolism harder?? |

Have you been in contact with AYME (under 26 year olds)(association of Young people with ME)? They have information and web forums etc. Action for ME also useful - for all ages.
www.ayme.org.uk
www.afme.org.uk
Rest, rest and rest. Find a baseline level of activity and only increase very gradually (10% or less per week). School, university etc are not nearly as important as good health - take time off and defer.
It has been my son's severe ME that started me running (stress busting) - it is important that you look after YOURself too. | |

An update.... It is now working although some water visible behind the screen - possibly between two screens. I think it is slower to pick up the satellites than it was, but otherwise seems to be working just fine - still only recording me as using 23 calories/mile.....I know I'm a plodder..but.
I'm storing it in the airing cupboard in the hope that the last bit of trapped water can evaporate and escape! | |

| I like a bit of grippy elastic along the hem as the cycle shorts will sometimes ride up assymetrically (VERY unflatteringly!) without. I like some from New Balance - (plain black - the safest colour scheme!) but I always go up a size ie. a medium, though I would take a small in a "baggy" style. Then the the elastic isn't so tight.... | |

| A glimmer of hope - I tried switching it on again last night - it came on for 2 seconds - screen message "low battery" then died. There is still water visible behind the screen so I am loathe to try charging it yet! Have ordered another 201 from Amazon, but having read the above comments I will cancel it and go for a 205 intead. I'll keep it myself if the other one comes back to life again! | |
