Hi Everyone

I hope that you are all coping with what life is throwing at you. It is encouraging to see that fatigue is a common symptom of treatment but does anyone agree that it seems to be a fatigue like no other. I feel as though I could sleep the clock round and still be tired beyond reason. I do sometimes wonder though if it is just general mojo loss. As I am still quite short of breath it is hard to get going and then it's the old vicious circle the less you do the less you want to do. Anyone got any ideas? I am on my own so it's not like I have anyone running round after me. Any thoughts welcome even if you think I'm just being pathetic.

2nd round on Friday

Thanks for being there

Fatigue, is part off this ,journey, and can effect everyone on a different scale.

For me had to focus on doing one job a day , if nothing else, i also live on my own, and have never been one for just siting about.

You have to do what is best for you, one job i focus on, was chopping an onion, so simple in days gone by, took me an hour, i did it, felt good then was shattered.

You will find a way your way.

Fatigue is a big issue for me As Ellie has said focus on one task , if I’m able to do more then great if not then I rest.

Some gentle or short bouts of exercise can help, even just a few steps outside to get some fresh air and get muscles moving

I totally agree it is a feeling like no other mainly because it doesn’t resolve with sleep like normal tiredness

BUT it will improve, I’m on maintenance treatment at the moment and still fatigued but not to the same extent as when on chemo

Be kind to yourself and focus on ways to keep life as simple and easy as possible
