Strange, but good happenings. Not sure why.

Coupling SE of my PCa with those for MDS-RS, I had basically double fatigue. Woke up with just as much fatigue as when I went to bed. Generally, had to get up to pee a couple of times a night. Then a couple of weeks ago, it felt like a wave of relief washed over me. Still tired, but more like it was because I had done a good day's labor.

A few days later I read an article about how we grieve for ourselves and our loss, be it a body part or a mental ability. Although I've mostly live for each day, I no longer did planning far out in the future. Maybe I achieved acceptance in my self- grief on that day. Have been getting up feeling like I got some rest and not being tired. And then a true miracle! I slept all last night without needing to get up for a pee and feel truly rested.

A cancer diagnosis certainly takes a psychological toll. But the resilience of the human spirit will almost always win. I'm glad you found a way out of your grief.

Glad for you having your epipha-nopee

fatigue causes misery period. I’d look for why you feel better. Testosterone level up? Glucose level down? Either will make the world seem new and better. We need energy however you get it.

Actually my testosterone very low and my glucose is up!?! Have given up having honey in my tea. Working on weight management. My new old dog makes me take a lot of walks. Whatever happened I'll take.

high A1C will cause more fatigue than lupron I believe.
