Re: New Normal?
Hi fauxgypsy,
I am nearly 4 years out, and I feel exactly the same way you do. I do what I can, when I can, and have learned to say "NO' alot more than I used to.
It's my life, it is what it is. I have fibromyalgia on top of the aches and pains from Femara, but you know what? I take my Meloxicam (anti-inflammatory) and Tylenol for Arthritis when I need to, soak in epsom salts, and just pace myself.
I am grateful for what I have, I am here, have seen one daughter graduate with 2 university degrees, my younger graduate from high school, (and plan on seeing her graduate from university next June).
It's the new me- and that is okay.
all the best
caya
