Hi Everyone,
I wonder if anyone else has had long term Cancer Fatigue prior to diagnosis?
Fatigue is something I have struggled with for a long time (at least 7 years). The problem is the symptoms for both conditions (CF and CFS) are very similar and doctors have never come up with a clear diagnosis or even opinion. I feel as if I am trapped in a no man’s land of constant tiredness to the extent I had to stop work and struggle with almost all daily tasks.
I finally started using a stick for walking last year but even so, I can only walk very short distances (a few yards between rests) and often end up sleeping for long periods afterwards. I often get pain and stiffness in my left hip in particular but generally ache all over.
It may sound rather silly or a bit strange but I was almost hoping that my cancer diagnosis would be worse than it was because at least then I would possibly have some idea of what was wrong with me and so give me something positive to fight against.
Kind regards,
N.
