What Causes Persistent Chronic Fatigue, Dry Hair And Skin?
Over the past two months I have been extremely tired. I wake at 7:00 a.m. take a two and a half hour nap at 9:00 and another two hour nap about 1:00 and I still feel very tired. My skin and hair are dry. I have gained a great deal of weight. I got blood taken to check my thyroid and they said it was within the normal limits. What else could be wrong with me? Thanks, Carissa

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to anemia.
I suggest to do a complete blood count to confirm the diagnosis.
If the diagnosis is confirmed, the treatment consists in urin and vitamin B supplements.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contappct me again.
Kind regards!
