Is it a thing where your body goes through withdrawal, if you don’t exercise for one day? I do a mix of HIIT running and weights a few times a week. If I don’t work out, I feel kind of dizzy, fatigued...but if I go exercise I immediately feel better.

Yes I realise it’s a bit humble brag-y, oh my body MAKES me exercise, poor me! But it is a thing - I can’t even have a day of just eating pizza and playing video games, I end up feeling awful physically.

Exercise addiction is real; it’s the endorphins and dopamine. I used to have it pre-lockdown. Every workout I used pre-workout too which had all these ingredients you can’t pronounce so the chemical addiction was even more intensified. I had crazy withdrawals once the lockdown hit but I am better now... more flabby too

OP, your muscles will not significantly deteriorate after one day off. In fact, taking a day off can be beneficial from a muscle recovery and building standpoint.

It took me a longgg time to understand that there is such a thing as too much training. I used to feel "bad" or "off" when I missed a day of workout but that caused me to work through a lot of minor injuries and aches that added up over time.

OP, try taking a day off and eating your normal diet - it could be that on days off you're not getting the same (or enough) nutrition and that's what's having an impact on your body. I tend to get nauseous when I don't eat for extended periods of time, don't eat enough, etc.

I’m nervous that the antibiotics will affect my ability to conceive, but just as nervous ureaplasma will make it difficult as well. I can wait until next month and start over but I really don’t want to. Any advice
