Hi @myoga
I can say going into my 11 month it has improved from what it was. In no way is my energy like it was prior to radiation. I have to pace what I am doing in a day. If I do to much the next day is a right off. I am now on a medication trazadone 25mg it's an SARi it's definitely helping. It for sleep, anxiety and depression. I have been on it 4 days and notice a good difference . Saturday I increase it to 50mg if I need to. I have never had depression or anxiety like I have had since been taken off hormones.
Or sleep issues. It took my doctor trying five different medications to get one that I could tolerate. Thank god for this one no side effects at all and you can take it long term.

I’m glad you find the med that works for you. Feeling tired all the time is major cause of depression. My aunt also suffered from tiredness after radiation. Her doctor prescribed med for anemia, ran bone test but nothing showed up. She’s ok now. I think it took her a long time to recover, probably 2 years. But then again, she’s not an active person, so she didn’t feel depressed. For an active person like you, being tired to the point that it prevents you from doing things you enjoy will certainly affect your mental health. Now know it would affect me. Glad you’re doing better. Hugs.
