exercise?

i still feel crappy most days, even though I am on 30 mgs of hydrocortisone and 4 grains of NP thyroid and multiple supplements.

I know my diet really needs to improve and i could use some exercise, however, i am not sure how much exercise or what kind I should be doing.  Well exercise cause me problems since my body won't kick out extra cortisol for the extra exertion?

I guess what I'm really wondering, is should my regular dose of HC be enough for me to do active exercise without causing me problems, or would I need to take a little extra Hc if I know I will be very active?

I don't know how it is for you, but If I am active one day - or rather TOO active, I pay the next day. So if I get frustrated and push push push - then I end up sick, in a lot of pain or weak but I have the MG as well - so it may differ with you.

You have to know your body.

It lost my answer!!!

There is a diet app here that you can use on a phone or on computer. It can also track exercise.

Even small amounts like stretching, walking and housecleaning help!
