I spent a lot of this winter feeling absolutely horrible. I wasn't dizzy or coughing or anything like that, just tired. I was having a hard time concentrating on anything, and by 1:30 in the afternoon I would be completely worthless.

Thanks for that. Roberts had actually crossed my mind, but I kind of wrote him off as a pediatrician since that's what we use their office for. Even though he's not. Alright, I'll give them a call, probably on Monday. Today is back to back meetings and I need to call about the Yaris as well.

Dirtmonkey has the right idea. My PCP actually specialises in geriatrics of all things. You have the option of simply calling up Legacy or whomever and simply saying, "I'd like to get a PCP." If you just want to make an appointment to talk about your symptoms, you can try calling a family clinic/small practice and describing the situation to the receptionist -- many of these places are more than willing to work with you. Another option is to actually ask people like your dentist or your paediatrician. Either of them might have friends or contacts, and both of these specialists are community figures ( ... )

I honestly wouldn't be too surprised if it was something to do with SAD, I'm fairly certain I experience depression every winter. I've never had problems with fatigue though.

I leave for work around 6:30 and head home around 3:30, this actually puts my return trip at the tail end of daylight during the winter months. There's some natural light in my office, but not directly into my space, but I haven't been out walking since transferring to this new job, something I used to make a point to do at the old one.
