Hughes can make you feel tired but so can a lot of other things or a combination of things. I would think the diabetes might also make you feel tired if not well controlled. The chemo would too most likely. Its worth getting a full blood screen done as things like low iron levels can also make you feel tired or thyroid levels out of whack.

It sounds like you have a lot to cope with so hopefully the doctors will be able to figure out all that is happening and help you feel better.

Agree with Tassie. Hope you have an APS-doctor that understands this illness but many doctors do not.

Best wishes to you from Kerstin in Stockholm
