Yes, full blown Rhabdo or something that looks identical to it with muscle proteins breaking down in your blood stream. That said, I've never taken it that far but have read accounts of those who have. They end up in the ER, on an IV drip to help dilute their dangerous blood levels. I'm sure...

Yeah it is maddening, welcome to the club. Sometimes you can blow through a bout, but for all the other times listen to the pain and don't push it because it is certain damage. Testing doesn't prolong for me, otherwise how would you know when everything is good to go. 7-14 days would be...

I have, not afib but another weird arrhythmia maybe it was called SVT and coincidentally enough started around the same time. I never thought of them being related but maybe they could be. Funny thing is both seem to be in remission. Last year I really went for it did over 2000 miles of dirt...

Appreciate all the new info and even the personal commentary! Katie Compton story is very interesting as well, imagine going 20+ years at an early age, I would have thrown in the towel. Linky: https://usacycling.org/article/katie-compton-in-our-own-words

Not me, my chiropractor says my lower spine is too flat and needs more curve to it.

I haven't, perhaps it could help after the fact but when it comes on the best thing to do is cease activity. But realize if you are just walking down stairs on vacation or stuck on the side of a hill walking the dog, it is very difficult to stop what you are doing. The problem with the...

Been cycling away for a bit (like in every day) and was surprised to see many responses and new folks post too, keep them coming! More eyes on this may eventually turn into a lead. Personally I've been blow up free for over 6 months, and only because I just don't take rest breaks anymore...

It probably is related to the intensity, and being able to push oneself for so long. I used to like getting right to the point of vomitting and then scale it back. Just doesn't happen to everyone, my wife was always training for triathlons and never ever would even have a hint of this...

I've noticed the only way to keep the blow ups away is to do some daily cycling. (around 15 minutes is the sweet spot) And missing a day or two once in a while is ok. If I'm on vacation, keeping active by walking, hiking stairs, or jogging does not do the trick, it can make it worse when you...

OK good to know, didn't even see cycling mentioned previously and I thought uh-oh, how can someone else be going through this and not even be bike riding? So last week I experimented and deliberately did not exercise/cycle, except for one 10 minute bike loop per day. (1.3 miles, moderate hills...

Hi ND, are you saying you don't even cycle? Just curious! Don't stress to much, even with travel you can always find a little time for physical activity every day. That way when you are on the starting line you don't even have to think about it, but I realize easier said than done.

I looked it up but MTHFR had so much else going on it was hard to make the connection. Interesting take for sure though, thanks for bringing another perspective. One thing I have learned though with this condition is that once you figure you have a handle on it, you really don't. So best to...

Hey Nougat, welcome aboard! We are all still trying to figure out what H happened, and can remember the first time experiencing this while on a vacation was unsettling. Isn't it nice how becoming fit may lead to nasty side effects? Glad to know your weight lifting is pretty thorough and...

Brutal episode! When the quads get fully engulfed it is basically game over. The tests, doctors, physical therapy, and hospitals all add to the frustration. But yeah, don't give up. I can only imagine how many people out there with the same affliction, the not knowing combined with not...

It has before lingered that long with an especially brutal episode. 10 stitches and a broken rib, a couple days later just hiking around the flats with the dog and almost got stuck out there because couldn't stretch properly. Could only take 10 steps and would have to rest a couple minutes, a...
