I think everyone responds to the radiation differently and apparently it hit you pretty hard.  I took at least one, if not two, naps a day.  On the weekends, I would walk my dog up the street, walk home, and I was exhausted.  It takes about 4-6 weeks before you start feeling stronger, so just resign yourself to it, ask for help if you need it, sleep as much as you possibly can, and be kind to yourself.  Little by little, you'll start feeling better and then one day, you'll realize that your legs don't feel like they've been walking through cement.  Good luck.
