A year ago I was doing CrossFit 6 days a week. Then I started getting more and more tired. I developed ulcerative colitis and now I alternate between insomnia and sleeping 12 hours a day.
I think years of physical stress from crossfit triggered latent disease. I'm still trying to get my body working normally again.
Yoga and CBD are helping.
- m348e912 7y agoThis is just a shot in the dark but check your vitamin d levels. I am just getting backup the level of activity that I was at after going through a similar situation where I went from running 20+ miles a week to not being able to walk a half mile. 3+ months of vitamin D for me started to move the needle in the right direction.
- rubyfan 7y agoHow did you go about testing and treating? Is this a thing a regular doctor can have tested? I have friends that swear by naturopaths and they usually say they start with lots of tests for vitamin levels.
- rubyfan 7y agoI’ve recently started a regime of CBD and have wondered if it’s helped my health. Of course, it could be placebo and totally unrelated.
- redis_mlc 7y ago> I was doing CrossFit 6 days a week. Your muscles (and blood) rebuild on rest days. So vigorous daily Crossfit would kill you. (see rhabdo) Nobody, for example, runs a daily marathon, or even half-marathon. Also, if you're OC enough to do that, you prolly have other issues too.
