Fatigue is a side effect of many of the drugs we are given.

Fatigue and anemia are common with MM and with a number of the medicines we take. I wish you well.

You should discuss this with your oncologist. Could be a side effect of your chemo, could also just be an effect of where you are in the course of the disease. Again, your oncologist should be consulted.

Hi Moh. Fatigue is so common in people with mm. Others who have answered your question are what I would also say. Drugs, chemo, overdoing activities. And the cancer that is in our bodies causing us to have high/low bloods and other things. It can be frustrating, I slept nearly all day yesterday. Determined today to stay awake. But I’ve washed the car, done some washing, plus a bit of housework. And I will possible sleep later. We are all going thru similar things and your body may be yelling out for a test. Take care Moh & all the best.
