I'm desperate for some advice! I suffer
from severe/extreme fatigue and can't seem
to determine the cause. I've done the
sleep study (no sleep apnea), i've had my
thyroid checked (normal), i've had a
complete physical (everything "normal")
and yet I have struggled with fatigue for
about 20 yrs!!! It has gotten worse over
the years - I have trouble waking myself
up (similar to sleep paralysis, but no
hallucinations), if i'm feeling tired but
continue to push myself, it takes me 1-2
days of constant rest to get back to a
"functioning" level of energy, and i've
recently had dreams that I am so tired
that if I let myself go into as deep of a
sleep as I feel I want to that I won't be
able to wake up again. I usually wake up
from those dreams feeling like dead
weight/drugged. Whether I sleep 6 hrs a
night or 12 hrs a night, I still feel
exhausted......
