Summary
A UK college student who from 2021 was constantly exhausted and kept falling asleep in class and on the bus. A blood test found a slight vitamin D deficiency, but supplements brought no improvement and later tests were normal. In 2023 doctors raised chronic fatigue syndrome but could not diagnose her, and she was seeking a specialist clinic. By January 2024 she still could not wake to alarms and had missed class.
