Thank you so much for your reply..
I had a regular day - aside from orange pee and a little sleepy in am. Now home I am feeling a little nausesous and flu like .like a fever ish etc. all that is on the list of common symptoms .- docs office is closed . I will still take medicine as directed tonight with dinner .I was told by doctor to take at night in case side effects will be during sleep. So you just take the pills even feeling the side effects if mild I guess? I am usually so active s this is a new "reality" . will let my self rest until it settles? Did you slow down the few weeks and then get energy back.. thank you again for answering 🙂 very much appreciate . I live with my younger daughter alone ( other daughter in college) .

@lynncat Yes, it took a little time but I was able to keep working full time and my husband was a help around the house. I did adjust and although I since retired this past June, I keep quite busy. Right now, your body is fighting infection & getting accustomed to the new drugs. Also, it is mentally straining to go through the diagnosis and acceptance of treatment so I think it's natural to experience fatigue and a lack of energy . Hopefully, you will adjust over time and fair well on the meds, like many others on this site. When I was experiencing the nausea, I purchased Sea Band acupressure wristbands and they did help. Your doctor can also give you something for nausea, I just did not want yet another pill going into my body and was able to work through it
