I absolutly cannot excercise without taking meds. My heart rate could not be increased enough to get enough oxygen to my brain and limbs.
I have a normal HR of 55, the max i could increase my HR was 125 and would fatigue out in 15 minutes. On meds normal HR is 65; I can scream a womping 170 bpm for an easy hour.
Now, I am "rocking and rolling" boxing again, gym everyday. My body feels like a million bucks now, but my mind still feels bla bla. With meds I am able to work out anaerobicly. I have not been able to do that in 23 years. The fact I'm able to train anaerobicly has now set my sights on climbing Denali in the spring.
Tuesday I start therapy with a private therapist (non group yet, I'm socially shy as it is, let alone share this with people). I'm hoping she will be able to help me sort somethings out. I wonder if I will ever understand the impact of this illness. It's like I was in a 20 year time warp.
