Hi @sharina65 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I see you popped into the conversation about CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia) and I’m wondering if you are replying to @stesco with their question, “ Has anyone been prescribed Ritalin for fatigue?”? You mentioned Adderall for fatigue but that it wears off.
Were you diagnosed with CLL and have experience using Adderall for fatigue associated with this form of leukemia? If so, how long ago were you diagnosed? Are you under any form of treatment besides Adderall for your CLL?

@loribmt hello. I am a CLL patient monitored quarterly since 2023. I started Calquence mid 2026 my body tolerated the Calquence for 33 days starting unbearable burning pain in fret valves and hands forcing stopping the Calquence. 2 weeks later I started Zanubrutinib and 3 days of Zanubrutinib the unbearable burning pain in calves feet & hands I stopped the Zanubrutinib. This week the doctor recommended infusion and pill therapy and I’m skeptical of therapies because the immediate debilitating painful reaction my body had to the first 2 therapies. Should I get a second opinion from another doctor.
