CRF (cancer related fatigue) is a real condition and can be experienced for years after treatment. Exercise can help, supplements..I use 5 hour energy myself. I've also heard of Adderall being used to help as well. Sadly most Dr's really don't know how to help. My GP keeps trying to tell me I'm depressed, but like most GP's practicing in a small town he's slightly retarded so I use him only when I need a script refilled and pass everything through my ENT or MO...even after I'm out of treatment I like to use my Dr's that deal with cancer everyday to get my advice from.
Hope you get some answers or help E.
