Taking tabs as doctor said I was low on iron, but my tiredness is extreme at the moment, everything is an effort. Nothing showed up on tests at the doctors. I sleep soundly at night for about 7-8 hours and have a sleep in the afternoon as well, but I am tired all the time

Did they test your thyroid function ?
ask to see a specialise ,its your right to ask for this if your worried about it

Yes they did a thyroid test
The weather perhaps?
Could be that you're borderline on the thyroid .
How old are you tamaris?
Well.....if all the tests were negative (Thyroid tests included?) and your iron was low ( you don't say why), my guess is that it is your anaemia causing your tiredness.

Lots of ifs and buts surrounding my answer.
did they check your lymph glands
When I was coming up to the menopause, I was exhausted all the time (the reason for my asking your age)

Just trying to help Sqad . You can have borderline thyroid function where no treatment is advised .
I'll bow out as you know best .
A busy mind could make you tired too. So try worrying or stressing less, if you do.
