Constant sleepiness, brain fog, anxiety, depression ...

Constant sleepiness, brain fog, anxiety, depression, impaired cognitive function, sluggish brain - as if mentally tired - that gets worse as the day passes. Difficulty remembering things, or just thinking about things. All this with a band of pressure around my head.

The doctors don't seem to be able to get a handle this. I am at my wits end - I can't function well on my job.

What do I have?

Also get some bloodwork done. Ferritin, Vitamin D, magnesium, B12

Check your vitamin D levels with 25OH vitamin D blood test. Low D and low magnesium cause cause insomnia, anxiety, depression, fatigue, dizziness, body pain, headaches, etc.

You want you D levels above 50ng/mL. You can supplement with D3 and magnesium
