I only had the injections fir 3 months, then I had my ovaries out. I've been on Exemestane for 3 months after being on Anastrozole and tamixifen.
I am experiencing extreme fatigue that hits me @1-2 pm like clock work. I eat goid and excersise @1 hour a day. Never less than 30 mins. My onc thinks it the Exemestane but I wanted som reassurance so my pcp agreed to give me a blood test. My tiredness effects my life as I'm too tired in the evenings to do anything. I feel so useless. Mornings I feel great. I have tried to take it at night and in morning. Same tiredness comes. If my blood work comes back that there's nothing else going on, I will know for sure it's the Exemestane. I think that will give me peace of mind and I'll just have to accept my new life. The tiredness hits me like a brick, like I've literally hit a wall. It comes on so fast and so hard makes me feel ill. It's weird. I wish I had advice for you, but I'm searching too. You are not alone.
