Exercise, was Re: I need DESSERT!!!!

Yes, and for me at least, it boosted them within days of starting a very

lose dose! I was surprised and thrilled.

Well, that's what LDN does, boosts endorphins.

I

have had to stop yoga and pilates since developing upper GI disorders; any

abdominal pressure (bending) sets off my Sphincter of Oddi [sigh] I only

recently, after six years on SCD, was able to start up beginning-level tai chi.

During the past six years all I could do was walk, and even that has been a

challenge most days since I’m also dealing with neuropathies.

My

advice is to just stick to walking until you aren’t as symptomatic. Much

of your body’s energy requirements is going into dealing with your

digestive disruption and healing, so there isn’t much left to sustain

physical activity. Walking is a good but mild exercise, less impact on

your body’s energy levels. On bad days you can just take a short

walk, but on better days you can walk further, or take several walks.

As

your body heals you should be able to do more physical activity.

What

have people done for endorphines when they can't exercise? I used to do hot

yoga 4 times/week, walk, hike and dance in my livingroom. Now I can only walk

on my good days

LDN is definitely worth a shot, but it doesn't provide the endorphin boost to

everyone, unfortunately. I was really hopeful that it would be my answer to

fatigue, but nada. I don't think I'm yeasty (spit test is good, no more itchy

rashes, rotating anti-fungals), so either LDN just doesn't work for me, or

there's something else wrong with my body. It's worth trying though, just in

case it might help you out.
