Chronic fatigue: There are MANY underlying causes for chronic fatigue. Normal is one of them. Other things to discuss with your doctor include thyroid issues, diabetes, low blood count, vitamin deficiencies, liver disease, depression, medication side effects, sleep apnea to name a few. See your doctor for a full history and physical. That's the first step.
