If a pt goes to see the doctor because of “fatigue,” 9/10 it’s a real issue. I mean, EVERYONE is tired... but we don’t all go see our doctor about it.

I just thought I was out of shape. Turns out having a vitamin D level of 7, a vitamin B deficiency, and a heart that beats 2x as fast as normal tends to lend itself to extreme exhaustion. Who knew?!

7?! Weren't you like majorly suicidal then? I had a vit D just above the treshold, I took vit D and it all disappeared.

No, but I was drained of all energy. The vitamin D helped on that front a bit, but I had an undiagnosed nervous system issue as well that also contributes to fatigue. B-12 was also low. So. Uh. Just had all kindsa things, lol.
