Fatigue worse after radiation: And still have fatigue, what helps?
Hi
In march I will be going into eleven months post radiation. I feel since winter hit my radiation Fatigue and fibro has gotten worse. I am struggling horribly with this fatigue and now i'm getting depressed. I live alone.It has been a very. Difficult. I did not think the fatigue would be this debiltating this far out. I am sure my fibromyalgia Is playing a big part also. My fibro has been very much under control with the odd flare but nothing like this. I will be starting counseling at the end of March and I will be starting grief counseling at the beginning of march which i've been waiting ten months for. I am hoping some of this makes a difference. I had four deaths during my treatment, Plus having to care for my mother when I was finished in April quite a few nights a week.Finally got her in a nursing home in August.She has alzheimer's , that also has been brutal. Wonder if others with fibro have had this much trouble recovering from radiation.

I'm taking anastrozole and Kisqali (ribociclib) for breast cancer. I take anastrozole in the morning--taking it at night disturbs my sleep. I've just changed to taking Kisqali at night--because when I took it in the morning, it seemed to make me extremely tired. So far, I haven't needed Zoloft or similar.
Hi
I use CanPrev Magnesium bis glycinate 200mg , it's very gentle on your stomach and it's easily absorbed. You can get it on Amazon you can also get the CanPrev with vit d and k but the doses 125 mg of magnesium I think so you would have to take two. It helps with sleep my naturopath put me on it.
I am a breast cancer survuvor as of 4 years now. I'm 83. This will seem lke a totally different topic, but I havediscovered that when I start feeling abnormally tired, I know I can't go running at my age, but I use my under the desk peddler in front of the TV on the sofa and the blood flow that goes to my brain wakes me up.

Omg your lucky no one stole your car. That's scary.
I must say since the pharmacist figured out 1 of my meds was interacting with my Zoloft and I have stopped it flexeril I am feeling way better. Back at the gym doing the treadmill. Started doing protein shakes everyday at noon. Increasing protein helps alot. Maybe you shld talk to your dr about trying a different AI drug. Good luck hope you feel better

3 ReactionsThere are tons of underdesk exercisers on Amazon.
Use post it notes.
Do the NYT Wordle and other puzzles on there.
Tell your Dr. that you are having memory problems from Anastrozole.
I think that good spelling gets lost as we age….
Yes. Discuss another AI.
