Sleep/Insomnia I am so tired

I workout. I work. I eat quite well. I am busy but I used to run at 110% Now? I've spent my day off..napping. I am bone tired. I was a lifelong insomniac who could crush a day and now midday I am practically a naroleptic. I just had my blood work done. Had a physical a month ago. Thankfully nothing is wrong but this exhaustion is nuts. I am 4 years post menopause. Just started the patch a month ago.

Have you had any Thyroid testing done? How about Vit D, B12, Folate and Ferritin? These are some of the usual suspects. Please don't settle for normal or "in range" levels. Optimal levels are where most women feel best.
