hmmm - sounds rough. I understand its rare and probably you don't have that - although if so, I know someone w/ a similar condition and there are options. hope things come out well.
I wouldn't say so, really (on the roughness part). Until and unless my doctor's come up with clear evidence of something definitely wrong, they can cover the bases all they like and the only negative impact is on my remaining allotment of time off work for the year.
good to hear then - (do they know you work out like a fiend??) ;)
Sort of. I try to avoid getting into details of my training volume and intensity with doctors so they won't get alarmed and want me to refrain from doing things.
