Hi pathwaytofree,
I could have written your post, minus the stepwork. Though I have been in some heavy therapy, which also takes a lot out of a person. I have been taking Topamax to prevent migraines, so I've been wondering if this is causing my extreme fatigue and blah-ness.
I don't believe I am nearing menopause. This exhaustion and lack of motivation is ridiculous though. I can hardly complete household chores.
I too wonder if I am extremely depressed and don't know it. And I really don't want to take any more medication. I would like to lose weight (if I could find the energy to exercise more.) I do get out and walk some, I force myself, but it is a chore. I feel better afterward. It takes me all day to accomplish simple tasks.
My labs were all fine the last they were checked. Maybe this is PAWS related for me, or the Topamax, or depression. Or maybe it is chronic fatigue syndrome?!
