Thumbs up Fighting Fatigue & Nausea

I remember so well the feeling of deep fatigue. In the early days following transplant, I had to sit in a chair at the sink just to wash my face and brush my teeth. If I stood in the shower, I had just a few minutes before I felt weak and/or nauseous. I made myself push through it. I instinctively knew that the way to healing was to keep moving. I ate whatever I wanted that didn't encourage nausea: ice cream, boiled potatoes, chicken soup w/rice, whatever felt good on my stomach. I always believed I'd get through it, and you can too!!! Keep on keepin' on and keep your dukes up against this dreaded disease.
It's all about the fight.
