Merry Christmas to you too Claire, from your Canadian neighbour to the east (New Brunswick)

I take 500 mg 5 days a week and 1000 mg on Saturday and Sunday. I’m wondering if my fatigue could be age related, instead of a side effect of hydroxyurea…..I am 69, and slowing down in a lot of things, even though I still exercise 4 or 5 times a week, trying to stay ‘fit’. But I have found I can’t do nearly as much as I used to be able to do in the same length of time. Efficiency is a thing of the past! And I need to write down all the chores that I want to get done! 😉 But I have to say there is a feeling of satisfaction when I get to check them off! 😂

Hello Kapow….I am pretty sure that the fatigue is mainly from the meds but also from blood cancer.
I find that I am very fatigued, by noon, to the point that I have to get into bed to rest properly. I don’t push myself the way I used to. Now that WINTER is here I am happy to hybrinate…..
