Zzzzzzz...
During my chemo treatments, I had mentioned that fatigue and nausea were not my most pressing problems, but rather, I felt like my whole body was 'broke.' I felt like I couldn't fight through the sick feeling to haul my butt outta bed. I don't feel sick any more.
I am now fully ensconced in fatigue and exhaustion. I drag ass all day long. I've been trying to stay out of bed and just work through it but a couple of days a week I find myself crawling back in after I get the famn damily out the door.
It is disconcerting to me how tired I am. I can't tell if it's from the chemo, the Tamoxifen, the hot flashes that keep me up at night? And it's not really sleepiness, like I was experiencing in the beginning of January when I was exercising too hard. I'm really fatigued. My leg muscles ache when I climb the stairs as though I'd been doing a wall squat for 90 seconds. I get short tempered with the kids. I have no extra energy for anything other than what I HAVE to do. And I'm falling behind on that stuff.
Most of what I hear/read indicates that it will take about a year before I start feeling like myself, (more on that later,) and I'm beginning to understand the toll that treatment has taken on me.
