Coping with bone aches and overwhelming tiredness

Hello all

i have stage 4 cancer mets in spine and pelvis. Medication has made me extremely tired and I ache everywhere. How do other people cope with this?  I am just too achy/tired to do much and feel my life is just feeling rough everyday. 

How do others cope with this?  Do you take anything to counteract the affects of the meds? 

Thanks

    If you haven't done so already, it may be worth having a chat with your medical team about this to see if there is anything they can do or give you that could help.
