hi, whitewolf,

if you haven't had your thyroid checked, please do so....low thyroid function can really ramp up your bad cholesterol numbers, extreme fatigue is a symptom....men usually have a much lower incidence of hypo-thyroid disease or hashimoto's (an auto-immune syndrome affecting the thyroid), but should still be ruled out

Heart problems. Hypothyroidism may also be associated with an increased risk of heart disease, primarily because high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol — the "bad" cholesterol — can occur in people with an underactive thyroid. Even subclinical hypothyroidism, a more benign condition than true hypothyroidism, can cause an increase in total cholesterol levels and impair the pumping ability of your heart. Hypothyroidism can also lead to an enlarged heart and heart failure.

I've had chronic fatigue syndrome (recently renamed SEID) for 25 years and can't take any more hits to my energy level.
