Hi
No I've been like this continuously since I started taking it and it seems to get worse every day. I do not take calcium and vitamin d and k I take 1,000 mg of d. I can't get a hold of anyone today I will have to call my endocrinologist on Monday I am seeing my GP on Wednesday. I'm just so frustrated because I've had brutal fatigue since my radiation treatment ended in April last year and it doesn't seem to get better because they keep adding things. I'm actually very worried today because the amount of fatigue I have I've never had this bad. I also have been anemic since the radiation my iron is good and my ferritin is good but my red count is low

Sue417,
I'm sorry it can be so tough. I had bone marrow edema with radiation that they thought was causing my low RBCs. I had hyperbaric treatments which did seem to give me more energy. And the edema eventually resolved. I didn't have chemotherapy, so I know it was the radiation. Forteo is thought to increase hematopoietic cells and so, red blood cells.
But, Sue, it's probably the liver cyst. When they become large the can cause extreme fatigue and nausea. It's so unfair to have more than one thing going on at a time.
