Ayenaneh, I was in a similar situation and what helped me was taking a tablespoon of blackstrap molasses a day. At first I took two: one in the morning and one in the evening. Very helpful for energy and more.
I made it into my "coffee": One tbls. BSM in boiling water, mixed to disolve, then added soymilk and mixed. Voila! My version of coffee!

Ayenaneh- sounds like you have either a thyroid, hormonal, or adrenal imbalance (or a combination of all three, which is also very likely). Ask your doctor to check for these. Until you identify and address the underlying issue to your fatigue, it will be hard to resolve it.
I have hypothyroidism and taking 1 tbsp of coconut oil daily (I put it in my tea), taking rhodiola, and a shot of ACV for a quick pick-me-up helps me with fatigue.

Hope you are better! Nevertheless, really look into food combining (no protein combined with starches) - and always use just one oil per dish (women have a finer hormone system and can bring this out of balance by too much oils and dairy). Start every morning with fresh lemon juice in warm water... Then a green smoothie. Best to go on a 30 days Green Smoothie challenge and look into books for detoxing with food! You will see how ingenious nature is once you listen to her and the proper nutrition. Check out that you do not have candida as an underlying cause (I was constantly tired and had strange symptoms which all left once I started a candida diet with detoxing on clean well combinded food). I feel so good now that I am getting more energy everyday and that is incredible that one can get younger whilst growing more mature!
And for the hair you might like to google Fo Ti or He Shou Wu - this is a plant which might be helpful for a 100 days build up which not only helps with your hair but as well building up stamina. Wishing you so much luck on your journey and most of all listen to your intution - you will get better - but gently check what feels right apply and check again and you surely will find solutions!
