    I had the same problem. I had blood work done & it turned out that I was low on vitamin D.

    have your thyroid tested. you sound very similar to me, and my levels were off, so they put me on a synthetic hormone to try to help. Just started about 4-6 weeks ago. Not sure if it works or not....but we'll see ;)

    I'm guessing you need more carbs to fuel your workouts.

    My dr ordered some labs for me-checking for Vitamin D, iron deficiencies as well as other things. I'd like direction myself with always being tired.

    Vitamin D deficiency? There is research suggesting it COULD (nothing definitive yet) be related to chronic fatigue. This deficiency is more common in winter (shorter daylight hours and you're not outside in the sun anyway). But it's also becoming more common year-round since people wear sunscreen all the time now to protect their skin. I have twice had winters where I could not get enough sleep and both times had low vitamin D. Supplementing it really helped.

    Not saying this is your issue, but something to consider with your doctor.

    It could be a deficiency even if you take vitamins. Some people take vitamins on an empty stomach or with water, but you are supposed to take them with a meal that has fat in it, so you absorb most of them. Vitamin D is fat soluble.
    I see you have a shake in the mornings. I'd try taking your vitamins with a healthier dose of fat than the shake and see if it helps.
