I get tired a lot myself, and have had all the same tests, to no avail. D helps. Don't get blackouts, but do get some vertigo and the constant being tired.

Hope you get some answers soon... I know how frustrating it is. Vibes coming from my corner of the planet.
I second the vitamin D. When I first had it checked by my endo, my level was .4, when normal is around 12 (I think). I'm now taking 50,000 unit pill once a week, and it's made a world of difference. Between that and getting my thyroid straightened out with kelp pills I feel like a different person. The problem is, it takes MANY tests, especially when it comes to the thyroid, to get the answers, so it's now a waiting game.

Many that you find out soon what is going on and then start fixing it!

Its sounds like a thyroid problem to me, you have the kind that I want though.
I have a thyroid problem but my levels are the opposite than what yours sound to be so I gain weight instead of lose it. it stinks because I work out at least 2 - 3 times a week, 1 of which is either doing Zumba or a BodyBlast class and I eat real healthy (I'm unofficially doing weight watchers. My mom's doing it so I'm using her resources) and I'm still gaining weight. Very Depressing. There's pills that you can take that regulates your thyroid levels and through insurance they're super cheap but I'm in the process of getting on my employer's insurance and so until then I'm going to have to just bare it.

Hope you start feeling a lot better very soon.

Again like others have said Thyroid, B12 , SADD , a hormonal imbalence. I suffer from PCOS (poly cystic ovariann syndrome) And when my hormones are out of wack i get very tired , crampy stomach , mood swings , dizzy spells ect. Keep us updated x

How his body was trying to cope with it I guess.
My first thoughts as well.

How are you feeling now?
