Hello Anonymous,
Three suggestions that may help are:
Allow yourself time each day to relax. Try yoga or meditation.
Establish a sleep routine of going to bed and getting up at the same time each day. Limit daytime napping.

Did they block your Estrogen? If so, that's probably one of the reasons you have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. Can you go onto Amazon and buy the book by Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet, Screaming to be Heard? This will help explain why you are having some, if not all of these side effects. You need to look at Dr. Philip Sarrel's video and study he just wrote and published on EmpowHER about Estrogen. I'm not a doctor but know one thing.. if your estrogen is blocked that will cause major problems as well as the chemo which will also wreak havoc on your body! It's no wonder you're not feeling well. You have all the symptoms of having hormonal imbalances. Get Dr. Vliet's book. You'll learn so much about your body and what's happening!! It saved my life.
