This site is great to be able to 'talk' with others that are at different stages of treatment and recovery. I think you are so right it does take an awful lot for our poor bodies to recover. I had this time line in my head that I should be recovered by the 12 month mark. When I did not feel that good at that stage it really worried me. I think it takes as long as it takes and this can be a bit different for everyone. I think for me I just had to get that energy balance right and stop expending more than I had available!
I still have a few aches and pains that seem worse in the cold weather but it is great to feel stronger within again. I seem to be able to handle more emotionally again but I'm careful about taking on too much. I know when to pull back and not wear myself out.
I hope that you keep improving and one day before you know it you will feel like you have your life back! It's a great feeling. Take care. Deanne xxx
