To share my experience there are several things that make me feel that way:
1. hypothyroidism
2. depression
3. chronic fatigue
4. fibromyalgia

And when you have a combination of them like I have, you get lots of days of no energy and no motivation.

I have read that some doctors will give a low dose of meds for hypothroid if a person displays many of the symptoms but their test results are normal. It apparently helps many people.

I was sleeping up to 15 hours a day and in a wheel chair before my thyroid test finally came back abnormal and my doc put me on meds. BANG! What a diffenrence in my quality of life!

Can't stop you from praying and blessing me,
and if that makes you feel better feel free.
But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me.
And let's all respect each other's feelings.
