What Causes Chronic Fatigue After Taking Birth Control Pills?
My 16-year old daughter is chronically fatigued. She wakes up a few times per night but does go back to sleep. In addition to these issues, she has not had a period in 2 years (is not sexually active). She took birth control to start her cycles and it did. When she stopped taking the pill, she stopped again. Her thyroid was checked, last year it was borderline high, this year normal. I ve had her checked for mono, negative. Checked for anemia, negative. She has had weight gain which she cannot lose. Her CBC is normal. I don t know what could be going on or what to check

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, her problem could be due to some anxiety and depression as her tests are normal, again it may not be due to hormone changes, it is kind of functional elements might be playing the role, moral support some time gives the best result and it is worth trying else it is nothing to worry hope this information helps.
