    You should have you thyroid checked out and your iron levels to see if they are low they can make a person tired too

    Linda you say your bloods were normal.

    Do you know what you GP tested?

    Do you have a copy of your results?

    If the answer is no then ask for a copy (assuming you are in the uk) you are entitled to this and then tell us what was tested and what the figures were.  Thinking in particularly ferritin and B12 levels, folic acid, TSH.

      I am glad you mentioned ferritin - too much can also make you fatigued, hypothyroid, heart and a heap of other problems.  When you stop or slow down menstruating, you can start loading iron - measured by ferritin - not just iron.

      Drs rarely think of ferritin - you usually have to ask for it.  A full blood count does not include it.
