I was hesitant to post this but one of my clients encouraged me (physical therapist) this weekend I was able to get 2nd place in my mountain bike race. When diagnosed a few weeks ago I came to Reddit for answers but a lot of times got sucked into a lot of posts that gave me no hope. I know my future with graves is not determined and I know I have been very lucky to be on the low end of symptoms but I told myself that for now I keep on living and will manage what is to come. I have been monitoring my HR (never really was crazy at rest) . This is also a post meant to show for those recently diagnosed that it may not always be brutal and bad.
For those struggling this is in no way a post meant to brag, or downplay the severity of this stupid autoimmune but to show those who may be worried there is some light!
Also great song is ur alive by illenium.
