Still have the fatigue after 2 years.

Yep I still had the fatigue after 2yrs and had been having it investigated

I was told I was more at risk of BC fatigue as I had Glandular Fever as a teenager

was tested for sleep apnoea, thyriod, various blood tests etc nothing came up

went to a clinic for fatigue after BC in australia and they taught me how

to manage the SX  

they are exercise

gentle walking 30 min every day  pluss

build up cardio exercise every 2nd day

starting @ 7min and add a minute each week 

wean yourself off your nana naps and have a regular bedtime

dont try to do to much in one day spread it out over a week

emotional and physical stress can trigger an episode  

this had improve me greatly - it is important to remember 

not to had big bursts of energy as you will get the resultant crash of fatigue

best to keep at an even pace - I am getting so much better if I follow this pattern 

plus my oncologist had me tested for vitiman D deficency

and I had the levels of an old lady in a nursing home who never sees the sun

I now get out and have my 20 minutes of sun time and have Vit D suppliments 

I am now finding I have a better life and I am starting to have days of the old me!

which is fantastic 

love
