Do your Vitamins have Iron in them. I was exhausted several months post op and come to find out I was low iron and the vitamins I was taking hand no iron in them. I now take chewable Centrum Multi Vitamin with Minerals.

I just posted something under sick of doctor's. I have been so exhausted that I get up in the morning and go jog and then need a 3 hour nap. Then I get up and clean the kitchen or do some laundry and need a nap. It has really been messing with my life. After doing some research for the past week, I have all of the symptoms of being iodine deficient. I checked the salt I have been using for the past 8 years and on the Morton salt can it says this product does not contain iodine. I did a patch test and it showed that I was severely low. I got some iodine drops and have been taking just 3 small drops in a bottle of Water for the past 3 days and today is the first day in I don't know how long that I haven't needed a nap. This may not be your problem but check to see that your salt has iodine in it.

My other symptoms were low body temp, low blood pressure, mood swings, dry brittle hair and nails, fatigue, and at one time before they put me on thyroid meds, I was not sweating when I worked out and had bad carb and salt cravings. I also had bad brain fog. So, please check your salt containers to make sure you are getting the kind with iodine. It can take years to show up but it has been miserable. I'm going to monitor mine to see how I continue to feel.
