Severe fatigue (elevated bilirubin and ferritin plus a highly reduced vitamin D3)

Dear Medical Doctor,

My medical question is about my chronic fatigue becoming really frustrating through the years so that I can hardly tolerate sleep times lower than 12 hrs, with the awake times of no energy.
I have met several MDs in neurology, oncology, internal medicine, and physical medicine areas.
I have got several blood and urine tests along with an MRI of brain and the whole spine, X-ray images of my back and neck, and a complete ultrasound imaging of my stomach.
Everything was apparently normal except a few items in my blood tests from which elevated ferritin and total bilirubin is worth mentioning together with a highly reduced vitamin D3 level. Could you please help me to find my disease? Are those abnormal results related  to any specific illness that causes a chronic severe fatigue?
By the way, some (blind) medications have been prescribed for me before (such as Zoloft, Clonazepam, Olanzapine, Depakine, etc.) with no clear effect on my problem (at best).
A recent complete answer of my blood and urine tests follow for your observation:
