Symptoms

My major symptoms: (They are worse some times then other times, but always present.)

Fatigue - This is my worst and most prominent symptom. I rarely feel totally awake, and never wake up refreshed. I don't remember what it was like to wake up feeling refreshed.

Mild Depression - I am not sad, but I have low ambition, and often feel "blah".

Low Libido

Hard to lose weight

Brain Fog - I rarely, if ever, feel clear minded.

Hard to concentrate

Poor memory

Hard to wake up - I have a very hard time waking up in the mornings.... even if I have gotten 8-9 hours sleep.

Insomnia - I also often have a hard time getting to sleep at night. I feel sleepy around 8-9pm, and if I don't go to bed then, sometimes I don't get to sleep until 1-2am.

Cold - I usually feel cold when others are warm. I do also get hot sometimes when I shouldn't.

Low body temp - I am usually around 97*F

Menstrual cycles are "off" - I recently went 4 months between cycles.
