I didn't have chemo, not sure you are, but the radiation kicked my butt. I have been where you are and can tell you it does get better. My doc prescribed Ambien to help me sleep and I had another med (can't think of the name) to take the edge off during the day. God Bless, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Carol
