Hi Susan❤️ Fatigue is my big adjustment. It's so different than normal tired. I've just asked this same thing. Try not to get overwhelmed by not getting things done that you used to. I'm learning to be gentle on myself. ♥️♥️

Hi Susan..as Tom mentioned, have your Primary Physician check iron level. Also, have B12 & Vitamin D level checked and let doctor know about your fatigue. Other things can also cause fatigue like thyroid issues, Lyme, etc. Fatigue is definitely part of CLL but I would have your regular doctor rule out other things first. Best of luck & let us know how things turn out🌻🌻🌻

Hi Susan, you might have your iron checked, low iron will cause fatigue, I would talk to my oncologist about you fatigue, have a wonderful day!😊
