Anyone out there know of some physiological things that would look like or cause depressive/ chronic fatigue like symptoms?
I would really like to get everything physical tested out , just to ease my mind and make sure its not something physical that is causing my problems.. ( tiredness, apathy, withdrawal, etc.)
I have already gotten a blood test for hypothroid, and that was a negative..
Thanks
JB

I have chronic lymes's disease it causes all those things. Docs say it's not all over but I'm a member of a lymes group and the tic is all over even field mice carry it. Antibiotics can clear it up especially if caught early. That's just one thing I'm sure there are many more. Love Phillipa

Umm . . there could be a huge number of things like that. Thyroid was negative, maybe have you had a DXM supression test? Maybe you have high stress hormones and there's a pancreatic tumor? This question has at least hundereds of answers.

Yeah, I realize there could be tons of answers to this.. but in everyone's opinion, what mught be the most likely things to check for?
Um.. I hate to say this , but I have never had a check up ( by a primary doctor) in my life, my father is a doctor and i have always just gone to him if something was bothering..
