Hi
I am 5 weeks out from my radiation therapy treatment being completed and my fatigue seems to be getting worse does anyone else experience this it's crazy I also have fibromyalgia . I had 20 treatments in 10 days felt great during treatment but now it's like a freight train has hit me. Can anybody tell me when this might start to get better it takes everything I have to function in a day. Prior to radiation I had two surgeries 2 months apart and I was up the day after surgery walking my 30 minutes 5 days a week now I can't seem to do that I probably can if I really push myself.

I’m also about 5 weeks out and have the same heavy fatigue and sleepiness. Times I can hardly keep my eyes open and no stamina. I also have Addison’s and take some heart meds that probably contribute but they’re not new. Would love to know how others recovered.

I’m sorry. It takes a while to heal. You’ll get there. Do your stretches, and try to walk a bit- but you also have to listen to your body. Eat right, take a rest, do a little,.. took me about 5 weeks for my skin to heal from radiation-fatigue will subside.
