Since then I've explored about every option, tons of blood work, including thyroid, vitamin D, B, iron, all the common causes... all normal. I've seen doctors, naturopaths, everyone... I even found out I had mild sleep apnea, but the cpap, despite "working", didn't help the fatigue.

It's the heart of all my problems... I'm just too tired to do anything, and I have to take care of my 5 and 2 year old every morning, it's more than I can take, all I want to do is sleep

Has anyone had such crippling fatigue? Find out anything about it? Could it really just be the depression? Or any ideas on what else I can try?? So tired of being so tired
Hi there:
I have horrible fatigue and chronic major depression, despite psych meds. I understand how you feel. I stay in my bed nearly every day. All I want to do is sleep and disappear. If it helps, you are not alone. I don't know what will help either of us. Tomorrow is a new day, though.
