A common theme among diagnosed adults is a history of being harassed by gym teachers, coaches etc for being lazy, not trying etc
I myself was a very good athlete before my symptoms worsened but I was also chastened because I didn't improve. No natter how much I trained, how many timed splits I did etc, I simply could not get faster. For a small improvement I had to work 10 times harder than everyone else. I was told I just felt sorry for myself.
Nope. My muscles can't process energy properly. |
Thanks for sharing this. I'm sorry you've had to deal with this.
I looked at the possible symptoms in the link, and now I'm especially curious about my daughter. She has a language delay (verbal, just behind), was diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum (though her developmental pediatrician seemed unsure for a while), and we've been told she has low tone (hypotonia), though she's always moving around, plus some GI issues. I keep feeling like it's something other than ASD (which drives H nuts). I just looked back at some functional labs she had done a few months ago through an integrative doctor, and a few of the results that came up are possible markers for mitochondrial issues (one of the sections she got a high result in is actually called "mitochondrial markers--Krebs cycle metabolites")...at the time, the doc was focusing on the yeast and bacterial overgrowth ones, but maybe I'll send her a message asking about those to see if we should pursue them further...
So, thanks!
