Hi, @naturegirl5 - I also thought that @cherelle @gingerw and @veronicat may have some thoughts on the fatigue you've experienced post-radical hysterectomy.

Also, I wanted to mention a couple of things: 1) Not all surgeries — even hysterectomies — can be compared apples to apples. Sometimes there is a difference in technique, personal health, complications one experiences, etc. So, please offer yourself some grace if your experience doesn't look like the post-op for anyone else (i.e., if your recovery appears to be taking longer). 2) I had a hysterectomy (leaving my ovaries) along with a prolapse (both kinds) repair about 7.5 years ago. So, my surgery would have some similarities to and some differences from yours. But, I thought you'd like to know that the very biggest factor I had to overcome to resume my normal life and feel better was fatigue. I had immense fatigue after my surgery, for quite some time — far longer than I'd expected. I had the surgery the end of January, and it was not till May that I did not have to take a nap every single day to get through it (naps are highly unusual for me). I had to extend the time I had daycare for my preschool age children (I was a stay-at-home mom then) cause I just wasn't ready to take care of two little children all day every day at the end of 6 weeks, which is what we originally targeted for daycare time.

Sorry to hear you are struggling so much with fatigue, I am 4 months post op, still not back to normal, tired, fatigue, loss of stamina, is very hard, and frustrating, I’ve changed my diet, to high alkaline, trying to eat very healthy, drink only water, I hop you feel better soon.
