No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

Aloha Lenny,
I think that CFS is probably associated with any of the body's conditions that tend to wear you down. I've had sinus problems for 35 years, the PCa treatment just added more body burden and hence more CFS. It can be real difficult to keep up the exercise under these circumstances, but I feel exercise is the only hope we can grasp to make that difference in our lives where we want to keep going. Ya still need those happy thoughts!!!
Joe
I experienced EXACTLY the same symptoms as you, and like you, had all types of tests which revealed nothing 'sinister'.
Nobody could give me an answer...oncologist, endocrinologist, my family doctor.
I remain convinced it was connected to treatment of my PCa, whether HT, RT or both.
I'm getting much better now, but I agree with you, the bad days were awful - very tired, and sometimes unable to complete a sentence.
There has to be an answer as to the cause out there somewhere.
