Thanks, yes they checked my thyroid and a whole lot of other things in that blood test so it seemed fine.
Since I last posted I started a course of SSRIs and over two months in my mood is much better, the fatigue has improved although I still get sleepy sometimes, my athletic performance is better too (although not as good as before). I suspect the SSRI is making a difference, although I'm also taking a daily Vit D too.
As for retesting, my Dr has said just to take the Vit D for the rest of my life, she does herself apparently.
