Sleep / Energy / Tiredness

No multivitamins whilst still on chemo as we don't want any cancer cells recovering quickly. Vitamin D if yours is low is recommended but talk with your oncologist.

@NotHappyJan,

I tried pretty much every vitamin and supplement for about 10 months. Very expensive and alas, no magic pill fix.  If your levels are all good overdosing on some of them can make you feel worse.  Especially calcium. Lovely heart palpitations with that one  and Tamoxifen combined even though it was recommended by the doc that I take it. . I ditched all the supplements a few months ago,

My wake up to work breakfast is two double shot coffees followed by a Berocca chaser.  I keep Berocca in my bag and if I get a slump at work, well I have another one for morning tea. Highly doubtful you're going to get that as a medical recommendation, but it seems to work.

Sleep is quite elusive for some time and going to work on 3 or 4 hours became the norm for a while.  It does however get better over time.  It's taken a while but 14 months past treatment I am averaging a good 5-6 hours straight.  Got be thankful for small mercies right?

Thanks for that - yep seemingly all vitamins, etc I'm normal or above lol.  Must update my pic!  xo

Vitamin D is about the only one that is broadly recommended in breast cancer as far as I'm aware. I asked my oncologist and she said if you're eating a healthy diet you'll be getting all the vitamins you need from that.

Congratulations on getting back to work! K xox
