Chronic long term fatigue

I wasn't sure where to post this...hope this will get some responses.

I'm really struggling with fatigue. I haven't been right since treatment ended 5 years ago. In the last year it has seemingly gotten worse. I am struggling to stay awake during the day at work. I will sometimes go in the bathroom and close my eyes and sleep for a few minutes. I fall asleep driving to work. Im exhausted all the time.

I've has thyroid checked, iron levels....normal.

But none of this is normal. I'm not sure what this is anymore. Am I depressed? Or just damn exhausted.

It seems like its too long to be chemo or cancer related, but maybe It is?

Anyone else dealing with this still??

Yes, I have been struggling with fatigue for many years. I'm going to be trying Modifinil. It is suppose to help with feeling more awake and alert. I'll try anything at this point.
