ANs and Fatigue Pre-Treatment

[MKLady]

I experienced extreme fatigue before I was diagnosed.  I assumed it was stress or hormone related.  It even became obvious to my mother and co-worker because they would frequently ask if I was OK and comment that I looked really tired.  Once diagnosed with the AN I wondered if it might be the cause.

I am now 4 1/2 month post-op. (translab) There was significant fatigue in my first weeks back at work but I now feel much better.  I still have a few days when I "hit a wall" about 4:00 pm and just can't do anymore without resting, but most days are pretty good.

Good luck with your GK.

Now that I finally have the treatment decision under my belt, I am feeling much better and have more energy.  I think the stress was really getting me down.  But, I have no doubts that these ANs can cause fatigue.  I would expect this to be especially true for those who have had surgery.  Nancy
