ok, its been 3 weeks of me being on this cancer menapause medicine, and Im so TIRED ALL THE TIME... I mean EXHAUSTED... I have never been this tired all the time, not even when I was preggo, and I feel OFF all the time.. if it is not the Hot flashes lasting for 25-45 minutes straight I don't know.. I wonder if maybe I just happen to get a bug at the same time Im just not remembering having this hard of a time last time...

I think i will be calling the DR. tomorrow... I can't go on this way, its not fair to DH or my boys... I maen to get up take a shower and get dressed Im so tired I have to lay on the couch or bed for about 15 minutes just to get the energy to move out to the couch...

I just ask that you all pray for me... I know my body and something is NOT right... I mean Im not even excited to jump on here and talk... I have lost interest in everything.. even leaving the house is to exhasting to think about....

again, I just ask for a quick prayer from you all...

I know there are others with much greater issues... but I need some prayers...

the medicine is call Aygestin. its used for some type of cancers, and to completly shut down my estrogene, and I think thats what the problem is, my estrogen is shut down and I may need more Iron, Nolan told me to start takeing multi vitamin tomorrow and give it a few days and see if that helps... I will try i mean whats a few more days... but I can't do this for another 6 or 9 months, NOWAY....

Hmmm.....I took a similar med years ago to decrease my endometriosis when I was going through my infertility treatment. I don't remember it making me tired. Bit**y beyond belief yes, tired no. Maybe you should call the doctor and ask them if this is an expected side effect. Maybe they need to adjust your dosage.
