I was never AD(H)D but chronic fatigue is one of the many
tags they pinned on me.  For years before that, it was
excused by my weight, as you have been doing with yourself.
Paleo made a tremendous difference in both the fatigue and
weight :)  There were many other factors involved like
allergies and other intorerances.  If you are already eating
paleo (and being fairly strict) and not noticing much
difference, then maybe it is time to look at some of the
finer points.  The strict paleo - no grains or products
therefrom, no chemicals - did wonders for me.
