Hi Debbie~

I am sorry it's hitting you hard. I can't speak for your body but I can tell you it does take a month or two for your body to get used to "turning off" if you will. It's hard when we have the body we were born with run with it's great self only to have it altered by outside influences. I am sure everything is flaring until it can settle. I remember that happening to me the same way for Lupron and the BCP's at two different times.

I have seen some posts here about the progesterone creams and that was one avenue I wish I tried without going at it alone. Maybe that can work in the break through time as you go through these changes.

Chronic Fatigue is quite common with this disease. Our immune systems are trying to attack foreign invaders and they are trying to over compensate for other areas. I hope this makes some sense why you may be so tired. You should be balancing out soon and a change in diet can help too but I don't have a lot of information on that one right now.

This forum has been so helpful I am sure others will have some greater insights to add to this. You rest when you can and it will get easier. This disease is tough and there are no quick fixes, just great management over time.

Thinking of you..
