>.. on the infrequent occasions when I could, instead of making me feel better, I have some sort of strage rebound type effect that makes my problems significantly worse in the ensuing days, if not immediately. I've never been able to figure out why the counterintuitive effect occurs, seemingly contradicting a large body of evidence and advice I've come across over the years.
Hi Bob!
Well, the same happens to me! All docs etc. tell me to do some exercise, but even mild physical exercise makes me worse. I dont know why! My only guess is that exercise can lower blood pressure, and isnt blood pressure partly controlled by the catecholamines? So maybe it lowers the activity of some of them? just guessing..
Do you sweat easily? I wondered about losing minerals via sweat.. dunno
I sweat very easily.I am tapping in the dark here...
anyway
bye
