Hi lovebug and welcome to the forum.

Sparkle is right about low vit D causing fatigue and muscle aches.  Mine has been low for a while, 42 last July and 37 back in Feb so I have been taking a supplement as advised but I find that since I have had it my system has slowed down like Sparkle's which I can ill afford as I have constipation problems anyway due to an underactive thyroid that likes to play silly games from time to time.

I have a blood check and appointment in a couple of weeks so I will find out if the levels have improved at all but I think they are higher in summer anyway due to the natural sunlight.

Has your thyroid levels been checked at all?
