Re: Returning after a long break

Thyroid disease (hypo- or hyper-) can cause muscle fatigue, weakness and aching. (Not specifically embouchure muscles, but...)

My wife still regales people with the 25-year-old story of how I foolishly went skiing despite being ragingly hyperthyroid. It was not a pretty day on the mountain!

(Full disclosure: In addition to previously being a "victim" of thyroid disease, I am also a retired doc.)

Hope you are back to good health soon!
