Jim- The doctor told me yesterday that exhaustion wasn't a side effect of the Erbitux. I'm glad I read your post because my husband falls asleep at the drop of a hat and I know that the treatment is a part of it. I can't believe that any kind of treatment that treats you systemwide does not wear you down. This site is so great for validation-I wish doctors would have to come here so they could really understand what patients go through.
