Exactly what I was thinking. I was always tired as a teen. My family doctor had identified anemia as an issue when I was really young. The Graves’ disease diagnosis came a few years later.

So obviously your doctor is the best source. I was tired from my late 20's until my early 50's and thought it was just my job wearing me out. In my case, it was low vitamin D and B12. Now that I take those two vitamins, I couldn't nap if I wanted to. (I used to nap daily for 2+ hours after sleeping 8-10 hours at night)

Was she like this before the antidepressants? Zoloft at any dose higher than 25 makes me sleepy all day long.

My sister in law was like this when she went vegan because she was deficient in so many things.

My college roommate was like this because she did not eat.

This was my DD at age 13. Turned out she had celiac disease.
