Hello Holly.

I know exactly how you feel. Being lightheaded was my main symptom too, and I was also anxious about the heat. Do you exercize? That is what helped me when I was really tired all the time. It gave me so much energy, although it was very hard to start when I was like that (tired and lightheaded). You have to just force yourself to get up and get going. You'll be amazed at how much energy you'll get.
