what has your gp done so far?

is this a short term viral thing?

if not, did the gp test the usual for tiredness eg thyroid, b12, iron?

This might sound an odd question but how much water do you normally drink in a day? (that is water, ie not tea, coffee, juice etc.)

Dents in your tongue? Where in your tongue? Round the edges like a piecrust?

If it is, that's a diagnostic for hypothyroidism.

Rockin I've never heard that about the dents in tongue....I've had it for as long as I can remember. Apparently all my thyroid testing is coming back clear though

I'm so glad I read this thread in that case because am off to GP tomorrow to see what my latest results are! Will challenge him with my new found knowledge!

Ask for actual numbers of your thyroid tests. "Clinically" normal can still leave you feeling like crap. There is a lot online about this...
