Fatigue during CLL remission is very common and well-documented. Many MyLeukemiaTeam members share similar experiences, with one noting: "My CLL is in remission. However, my fatigue is not, and I don't know if it will ever be."

Some key traits of CLL-related fatigue include:

- Tiredness lasting more than two weeks
- Weight loss
- Reduced fitness during activities
- Trouble concentrating

Unlike regular tiredness, CLL-related fatigue often doesn't improve with sleep or rest alone. Some strategies that may help manage fatigue include:

- Taking short naps during the day
- Pacing yourself during activities
- Reducing stress where possible
- Asking for help when needed
- Re-evaluating work or lifestyle demands

It's really important to keep your oncologist informed about both the back pain and fatigue, as they can check for underlying causes like anemia, which is common with CLL and can significantly worsen tiredness.
