Summary
A Reddit user who has fatigue bad enough that they cannot get through the day without a two-hour nap, despite running, swimming and exercising regularly. Prozac, coffee, a multivitamin, folic acid, fish oil, vitamin D and magnesium before bed had not resolved it, and bloodwork, ferritin, a Quest fatigue profile and vitamin D were normal. They said exercise seemed mostly neutral and asked what to try next.
