I had a severe virus at 34, followed by years of chronic fatigue. Turned out that I had Hashimoto's disease, an autoimmune disorder that causes your body to attack it's own thyroid gland. Turns out, it's pretty common in women in their thirties, particularly of Eastern European descent (like me). So, now I'm on daily thyroid pills for the rest of my life. The same girl who could stay up for three days straight now falls asleep at work if she forgets to take her medication.
BTW, did your doc check your thyroid? Abnormal high cholesterol is how they ended up finding my problem. Turns out, it's a symptom of thyroid disease. Who knew?
