Chronic fatigue, when I saw that I thought Thyroid. Have you had your Thyroid Panels run? As your doctor to test your TSH, T3-Free, T4-Free, TPO Antibodies. You could have hypothyroidism. I had similar symptoms and had my thyroid levels checked and lo and behold I have Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s. I was exhausted and would fall asleep right after dinner in the evening, which isn’t me at all. Once I got my diagnosis, I began taking medication, Synthroid and I started on a nighter dose of 125 mcg and took along with it another drug called Cytomel 5 mcg. Now since my levels have come down, I’m only taking 75 mcg of Cytomel. I have my blood levels checked every 3 months and if my levels are in the normal range, no need to alter medications. Look into having this done and I would bet you will need medication too. Good luck on your health journey.

One of the many, many doctors I've visited suggested thyroid issues. He prescribed two thyroid meds which didn't improve my fatigue or other symptoms. After several months, blood tests indicated the meds had damaged my thyroid. I of coursed ceased the meds.
