well, i would definately get to the dr for a check up and tell him/her everything you said here. i would get tested for mono for one. and also maybe lyme disease. i'm sure others will come along and give other advise as to what to check for, but these two are what i would start with. i know there are other things that can make you very tired like this, but i am not sure what they are as i have not experienced them. maybe the thyroid being tested as well.
good luck and i hope you get to the bottom of this soon. let us know

Ya go to the doctor, I had mono same symptoms more or less as you. My nephew had it and all he had was a sore throat, never missed a day of school. I am older he was young, 15. The doctor can give you a much better idea on whats wrong. I am so tired all the time I can`t watch my grand kids. I can`t stay awake, they wear me out in an hour. The more I try to do the worse I feel, headaches, nausea. Have the doc check you out for a reason. Lots of things it could be. My first mono test came back negative(mono spot) they told me I had broncitis, couple weeks went by and I still felt terrible and they sent me to the hospital for more extensive blood work, they thought I might have lyme or west nile, thats when they found the mono. Hope it helps, get to the doc.
