Post-active treatment fatigue
I treated myself to a sleeping pill last night, went to bed early (for me), didn't have to get up for anything this morning, and so had 10 hours sleep. Woke up three times, but nonetheless it was fab....
I am 5 years post treatment but do suffer another chronic illness but I still struggle with fatigue and every now and then, I just have to put my head down. I generally will sleep for a few hours and wake for tea and then have a solid 10-12 hours sleep that night. It's like it all just catches up and I have to lay down and sleep. Once I have had that huge amount of sleep I do feel better though.
