Laura, I can see you do a good job of monitoring yourself and that you're truly confused as to what's happening here. Between the possible combination of meds, the possible need for a change in dosage, or the possible overlapping of these conditions, I really would love for you to make an appointment with your doctor and go over all these things in detail. If it helps, print out the things we've written here and just ask your doctor to read over it all -- that may help you get the conversation rolling. You should NOT feel exhausted all the time. Even if you have to push your doctor for answers or -- if that's the case -- if you need to see another doctor, please do it. You need to feel better. Losing some weight will help, of course, and continued good diet and monitoring are crucial. But I still think you should ask your doctor to weigh in on the fatigue and see if you can help make something new happen here.
Will you do that? And then come back and update me?
