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.

This 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.

How 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.

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.

I’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.
