I had fatigue for the past few years too. I thought it might have been thyroid too for a while but the tests never indicated as much. Just last month finally found out that it was a Vitamin D deficiency. It turns out Vitamin D deficiency can look like a lot of other things because it affects calcium activity in bones even if you have enough calcium, thyroid related stuff so you feel tired, and blood formation stuff so it seems like anemia.

I’m outside a lot – I bike 20+ miles a day and live in sunny Arizona. I think it may be because I have extremely low cholesterol, and cholesterol is what is converted into Vitamin D (also known as cholecalciferol.)

I got a prescription for 12,500 IU Vitamin D2 that I am taking weekly for 3 months and 5000 IU Vitamin D3 that I am taking daily. After about a week I felt 10,000% better – try getting some vegan Vitamin D for yourself and take it for a week, it can’t hurt. I’ve used this and this. If you can, go to a doctor and get your Vitamin D levels measured. It’s always a relief to confirm what your problem is.

Also, to describe my symptoms more, it was a very special kind of fatigue. Not lack of sleep, and not being overworked or having a long day. It felt like I had complete clarity in my mind and my mind wasn’t tired and I didn’t feel like going to sleep, but my body just did not want to move. Not even to do lazy things like type on a keyboard or watch TV. When it got real bad I also couldn’t concentrate or keep focus, but again, I didn’t feel sleepy or worn out, in fact I had just woken up from a good nights rest.

There are several brands that now sell a plant based D3. http://www.amazon.com/Natures-Plus-Vitamin-Vegetarian-Capsules/dp/B0042DDP44/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1366833749&sr=8-1&keywords=vegan+d3 this being one.

Vegan D3 🙂

This brand of D3 is just a bunch of chopped-up vegetables in a capsule.
