Hi I am in day two if a five day course instead of 15. I am drinking lots of water and moisturising my breast underarm and collarbone I was told it caused fatigue But WOW I AM FEELING EXHAUSTED any tips please xxxx
Hi Figgy2019 welcome to the forum. I imagine that it is a more condensed dose that they give in 5 days rather then over 15 so the tiredness can kick in anytime. I couldnt even describe the fatigue it as it is beyond tired its like somebody has pulled your plug out of the energy socket!!!! Best thing to do is rest up as you are able and have some early nights and some lazy sofa days as well until it passes and it will but listen to your body.
Drinking plenty is good a well to keep your skin hydrated. xx
Thankyou thought it was just me xxx I am 62 though x
