Graves and exercise

Anyone else out there struggle with exercising with this disease?

I’ve never been able to be as active as I’d like to be - I just want to be able to go to the gym or even just have the energy to do a workout video at home and I feel like I’m going crazy wondering why I can’t make it through a workout longer than 20-30 mins. When I do, I usually feel a little dizzy or lightheaded. I’m 25F, at a healthy weight. For so long I have been trying to push myself to do more and get in better shape and just get more movement in my routine, but my energy is always so low every day.

I take 5mg of methimazole every day and my levels are normal, but I have been so physically tired lately. I have such a hard time staying active and exercising the way I want to but I just feel so weak and exhausted when it comes time to really commit to a workout. I drink water all day and try to get lots of protein, but I can’t remember the last time I felt energetic. It’s like I’m always operating at 50% and by the time I’m done with work or doing things around the house, I’m at 10%.

This is mostly just to vent because it’s been weighing on my mind, but it’s also reassuring to know there’s others out there who can relate or have advice. Seriously starting to consider a TT because of this.
