Feeling so drained of energy

Jane,

I know exactly how you feel being recently diagnosed. All I can say is that as treatment has progressed a bit I feel a lot more positive about things, and as they say on this wonderful forum, bladder cancer is treatable. 

Be gentle on yourself and take your time, and keep talking on here , it help

Thank you Leo, it's helpful to know I'm not unusual in this respect.

Hey Jane! I had that very same question the other day as I went in to what I can only describe as “operation flap and certain doom”. It doesn’t help that I have an over active imagination so 1+1 to me is 50,00. The community on here have helped me so much already, it’s nice knowing you are not alone. A very wise member of this forum said “thoughts aren’t facts” I cling to this daily. You, we, all of us will get through this! Stay strong. 

Thank you so much for your support and response 

Hi Bicyclegirl, assuming you are under state pension age, whatever that is for you, as a fibro sufferer, have you thought of applying for PIP - personal independence payment? It could help with cost of counselling and other coping things eg help in the house, prepared food etc to mange your energy levels. If you would like to know more, friend and pm me and I'll point you to a useful website. Our daughter lives with fibro.

Best, Denby

Thanks Denby, I have retired and thankfully my fibro is not so bad. However as with most people aggravated by stress. It is very kind of you to offer and very much appreciated.
