How can I manage severe fatigue after reaching remission?

Fatigue after intensive treatment can be incredibly challenging, and it's encouraging that you're working with palliative care to explore all options for managing this symptom. Many community members have shared similar experiences with persistent fatigue even after achieving good treatment outcomes, so you're definitely not alone in this struggle. Consider sharing what your palliative care team suggests when you meet again - other members might benefit from learning about different approaches to managing treatment-related fatigue.

Keytruda can cause extreme tiredness. One of the many side effects. Look on their website to familiarize yourself with all the side effects. Some of them can cause serious side effects. It's an auto immune med that can attack your organs. Take care and be aware. You can do this. ❤️

Thank you so much! It's not as bad as sick as I was when it was taxol and keytruda but the fatigue and the bone pain have been brutal.

I've been handling my bone pain for 10 years with 90 mg of Cymbalta in the morning. I had bone mets in all my bones except below my elbows and knees. My bone pain has been minimal most days, none. My psychiatrist started with 30 mg, then 60 mg and finally 90 mg. I take it in the morning so it won't affect my sleep. Ask your doctor or palliative care provider. It's starting to get recognized for bone pain. PS- It helps with your mood, too. ❤️

I'll ask them about cymbalta I take morphine and butrans patches and it helps dramatically but still doesn't eliminate it completely and so far I have nothing in my bones but the longer I did chemo the worse all my joints got. Did you say youve been dealing with this 10 years? I'm so sorry for you my hat goes off to you I'm only 2.5 years in and it's a battle ..keep up the fight

I'm sorry I read the post half asleep and thought it was the post about pain...I will definitely ask them about cymbalta at my next appointment..thank you

I have been on cymbalta for years. I take 60mg in the am and 60 before supper. It really keeps my pain manageable.

I deal with severe fatigue. Chemo can cause fatigue. The only thing that I do is to take multivitamins,B12, and I try to eat right, though at times it's difficult. Have your vitamin D checked. There are meds you can take to help with fatigue.

I do b12 shots every month and treat my low iron and rx vitamin d as well as multi vitamins but I go next Tuesday and I'm definitely going to ask about Cymbalta if it helps...idk if I want to go the stimulant route so this could be a real option..thank you ladies
