What Could Cause Constant Fatigue And Headache In A Child With Bloodwork Being Normal?
I'm taking my 6 year old to ped today. She is pale says that she's always tired and has headaches. She is typically are asleep by 8:00. We had bloodwork done in July and it came back normal. Should I be asking the doctor for add'l bloodwork and if so, what specific tests should be given?

Hello. I just read through your question.
Though the blood work in July was normal, it easily could have changed by now. I would consider a complete blood count (CBC), an ESR, a CRP, and Mono.
Nothing here sounds all that terrible, but this could possibly lead to a diagnosis. Then, at least, you know what you're dealing with.
