Hi. Recently diagnosed with High Grade DCIS and IDC HER2+. Had my first cycle of chemo on Thursday. I'm also taking the injections to boost my blood counts. 

I suffer from fibromyalgia and chronic pain. Is it normal to do something like have a shower then need to lie down?

    Hi Suzanne-G,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Unfortunately, your fatigue is something that accompanies this and it can become worse with chemo treatment. Just listen to your body and take a rest when you need to.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
