How do others deal with fatigue?

Fatigue is one of the most common challenges during prostate cancer treatment, and many community members find that pacing activities, taking short rest breaks throughout the day, and gentle movement when possible can help manage energy levels. It's encouraging to see you reaching out - sharing experiences and strategies with others who understand this journey can provide valuable insights and support.

2 methods; exercise reduces fatigue and a nap for what fatigue remains.

I agree with Brian! Go for walks. At first it's hard. But it gets better and you'll actually look forward to it. And then nap if you feel like it.

I have been lifting light weights and riding bike . Weather is getting wet and cold, so will have to figure it out. But still take short naps

I also like riding bikes. In the winter, I switch to an exercise bike. I bought a used schwinn airdyne that works out your arms and legs. I do that a few times a week when we can't go out for walks.

I've continued to run and ride my bike. Recent gut issues have slowed that down this week. But I hope to resume that soon, if my guts will cooperate!
