exhaustion lasting days after exercise
hey bonnie,
sorry to hear you were recently diagnosed with Cf. welcome to the forum, though! there is a lot of information and support available here.
when i read your post, first thing that came to mind is that you are definitly overdoing it. i agree with what melissa said also...it sounds like you are short of oxygen or maybe not getting enough fluids. some people with Cf use supplimental oxygen just at night or when they exercise.
also, it could be a salt issue. have you been told to take salt pills when you exercise? i have to do this in the summer sometimes otherwise i'll feel a little crummy, but usually nothing that lasts as long as you're describing.
it is great to hear that you have been exercising and trying to get into a routine. i beleive it is one of the most important "therapies" you can do as a person with Cf. try for consistency over intensity -- try to find a level that you can do a little each day or most days.
good luck!
