Robert507, I wish there was a better way to boost our fatigue level. I too finally have gotten my first reports in over two years where my RBCs, HGB and HCT and protein level are in the black. The TKIs really take a hit at our energy level and now even though my labs are better, my BCR-ABL is still not where it should be or where I want it. As my RBCs have gotten more normal, I do have a little more energy and I usually am anemic. My exercise routine and nutrition and REST have to be balanced and this is a task. So I think we have to deal with the fatigue as best we can.

You are amazing with your special anemia! I take B-12 and B-complex to give myself and energy boost.The thyroid glad provides energy enzyme the get the body going. I think Magnesium is important with stimulating cells to provide energy. I am glad that before I had CLL that I was healthy and exercising frequently every week. I hope you can find a substitute to boost your energy level to help you have a better life.

I really think it's just part of having leukemia. I've been in remission for years and I still have no energy.

Robert,
Just having a blood/lymph cancer is enough to cause fatigue and shortness of breath on exertion. Those are my main issues also but I learn to pace myself and not try to accomplish a lot at one time. It's like learning to mow sections of the yard at a time instead of trying to mow the entire yard at one time. I hope the scenario helps! 😊

That's the million dollar question.
I'm always tired and am not anemic
