I touched base with my doctor yesterday to see if during the blood work they checked for my thyroid. They did check and everything with my thyroid is okay which is good news. I did ask my doctor about the aches in my legs and he said that given the chemo I went through, this is quite common but said to keep an eye(?) on it and report back to him if necessary before I see again for my next 3 month tuneup. As far as the tiredness, he did put me on provigil to help me stay awake (I literally was falling asleep while driving - not good - and also falling asleep at work - also not good!). So far (it's only been 3 days) the provigil is working so I'm really happy about that! Thanks for your helpful responses. It's reassuring to know that people like you are out there and just a click away to help me through these rough times.
Enjoy the day, Nancy
