I'm a nurse and having blood work done can be crucial in finding out what is wrong with you and ask for your vitamin levels to be checked. Being deficient in vitamins can cause fatigue and etc. All my symptons of depression, muscle aches, joint pain, anxiety, came from my thyroid. You know your body and what isn't normal. Don't let any dr tell you that everything is fine when obviously its not. I've went through 3 drs till i found one that will listen to me. Its frustrating feeling this way and living with the self loathing of hating yourself because your not normal and you can't function like other people. I've tried so many anti depressants in the past and nothing worked. Being on thyroid medicine has helped but not completely. There has to be some help out there. Its just knowing where to look. And whose willing to help.

I feel for you understand how sleep deprivation can affectvyout whole thought process medication can help if this continues to affect your daily life you've said about twitches in your legs and that can be so unformtable and frustrating but I've read twitches in your legs face eyelids can be due to lack of sleep just wondering have you tried taking warm bath before bed reading a book u really like trying to absorb your mind in a really goof book sometimes has the ability to tire your eyes and slowly u can succumb to sleep without realising you are drifiting off just a suggestion that maybe trying this may help you I really hope that this does help and you get a good nites rest xx
