When I had chronic fatigue, the first thing my primary doctor did is run a big battery of blood tests whose purpose was to rule out any organic disease.
The blood work suggested allergy or parasitism, turned out my problem was allergic fatigue syndrome. I had developed an allergy to dust mites, which was wearing down my immune system and leaving me too tired to do anything. I had a complete allergy workup, and did the immune therapy, which cured me completely.
That, however, is very rarely the cause of chronic fatigue. Much more common is depression, which is very treatable. In any case, go see your doctor, you'll be happy you did.
