You're a Star: Great to hear that you are following your doctors' instructions. Fatigue is a difficult symptom to assess/treat ; can is variably responsive to treatment unless a specific cause can be found. Either of your conditions (see poster) or the combination of both can cause fatigue. First thing to do is rule out anything else that could be a player such as thyroid, anemia, kidney, or liver problems.

Exercise!: Exercise is the magic bullet here, along with staying well hydrated and getting plenty of uninterrupted nighttime sleep. Also, make sure no other problems are playing a role such as depression or obstructive sleep apnea, two large factors causing fatigue in my patient population. Good luck!
