Fatigue

Hi sorry to hear this, but well done you're back at work I had similar surgery and radiotherapy in January but I'm still recovering with tiredness and my arm pain. I personally think you went back to work too soon. Please contact Macmillan or GP to discuss this I think you need more time off I hope your job can allow this. Sending you a big hug x

Yes this is normal.  I’m a year down the line.  Still very fatigued and full of aches and pains.  Think you’ve gone back to work too soo .  I’m still off and couldn’t cope going back yet. 

Thanku so much for replying and I think you are right, I'm used to being full of energy and doing everything at 100 mph and so I'm finding it frustrating  I'm going to Australia in 5 weeks on holiday for 3 weeks and just want to be well enough for then xo 

Thanku for replying, this has made me feel better I think I'm being too hard on myself because I'm normally full of energy  going to Australia in 5 weeks time for a 3 week holiday and stressed that I won't be ok for then, really need his and looking forward to it has got me through the last few months,  maybe just need to take it easier xo 

My name is Christine too. It took me a while to accept fatigue is maybe here to stay a while. I give into it much more readily. No point doing otherwise. I don't waste too much energy on boring housework anymore. Prioritise dancing, my pets and son. My husband has to learn to live with it, nearly been together 40 yes. We do get on but I'm determined to live as I wish. It's my life, he loves his golf which has helped so much for him to understand my need for distraction and dance.
