I wonder too if my age (54) has something to do with it. Maybe I shouldn't be blaming it on age and just accept that too much racing isn't helping.<br /><br />I believe there is a lot modern medicine still doesn't know and understand about health and would not be surprised to hear there was a real underlying basis for "adrenal fatigue." Elevated HR is supposed to come from too much sympathetic activity (higher levels of epinephrine?) What did you have tested? I'd also be curious about the role of nutrition here too- you need to keep calories high enough to keep your body from fearing starvation (like becoming amenorrheic), but what role does adequate carnitine, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A and other vitamins etc play?<br /><br />Great blog, and I've enjoyed reading your posts!<br /><br />CynthiaDrs.

As you described it much more than just an off day it lasts and morphs with elevated HR, bazaar breathing and aches that don't make sense. <br /><br />Glad your feeling better. Just in time to get fired up about your summer :)Rondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10832545114209221483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6310226120878180051.post-91543950424691488712010-10-25T08:39:14.849-07:002010-10-25T08:39:14.849-07:00Yeah, you gotta know when to hold 'em and when...Yeah, you gotta know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. Unfortunately, I decided to fold'em after I was "all in" in a 100 mile race!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17695365862543446730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6310226120878180051.post-31632633457766215232010-10-25T08:34:50.326-07:002010-10-25T08:34:50.326-07:00Good move, Pam.
