Fatigue/long term side effects
Hi there everyone
Forum Discussion
Hi @Laura81
I was having treatment around the same time as you. I have had a long road to recovery and it took me about 6 months to return to work full time. I have 3 sobs at home and a husband so have tbe daily grind of cooking, cleaning and washing washing.
Getting my exercise to normal old ne levels has been hard. A holiday last year with lots of exercise and a fabulous diet and early sound sleeping nights made me realise that sleeping soundly was ny biggest important thing to focus on.
Having a young son might challenge that.
I now go to be earlier.
I avoid caffeine at all after 12.00 including coke.
I don't smoke.
I avoid computers, ipads and phones at least an hour before bed.
I read to clear my head before sleeping.
I practise breathing techniques to relax.
If I can't sleep. ..I read again for a while then try again.
Relaxation apps can help...like smiling minds, mindshift or calm. All free.
Life with a youngster is hard.
Have a check up with your GP and ensure no issues physically like thyroid or anemia etc.
Think about your sleep..are there worries....do you need to talk over with someone?
Hope this helps. Kath x
