"Also, some people are helped by vitamin B12 injections when they are always tired. Have the doc order blood tests to check for this if he has not already."
Gosh I forgot to mention this! It has helped me and there's no harm in trying it. The effect doesn't last."

"It's always funny when docs tell you that you suffer from "stress". That has always been their code word for saying "I don't know what's wrong with you"."
We are all individuals and I don't think we can dismiss this issue.

Sometimes this can be a painful exercise emotionally when a persons well-being has changed, and they have to give up previously enjoyed activities.
