fatigue

I am very frustrated that I am still very fatigued. I assume this remains from the whole-brain radiation. My eyes are better and my throat is still dry but bearable. Of course, I can continue sleeping long nights and taking naps. But, I need to get more energy before our Galapagos trip. Will need to walk quite a bit on the islands.

Visited my Primary Care Doc for an annual physical this week. Most things seem to be normal - kidneys, liver, blood pressure, EKG, etc. She took me off my last BP med. Ordered additional blood tests because she thinks I might be anemic. Discussed the fatigue. Will do the anemia blood tests. I am to drink a couple bottles of Ensure+ each day for the protein. Hoping that something will come up to alleviate the fatigue soon.
