OP, tell your friend to keep going to a doctor after doctor until he gets the answers he needs. he should try the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MI.

While I'm going to be absolutely no help for the OP I wanted to point out that the Mayo Clinic is in Rochester, MN.

what happened to the guy?

9) tend to yawn a lot even when I've had tons of sleep -- this goes along with the lethargy -- still though I've been very lethargic in the past without feeling so miserable and weak

This might be due to obstructive or central sleep apnea. You would be surprised by how many people have sleep apnea and don't know it. I have seen patients who have been tired and lethargic for years and after having a sleep study done and after wearing a BiPAP or CPAP machine for a few nights come back and say they feel like they have been reborn. This doesn't explain most of the symptoms posted but could make your friend feel a hell of a lot better if this is diagnosed and treated.

Nowhere in the OP do I see "exercises regularly" or anything similar.

Ah, 'f it. I need to leave my hospital and get some groceries for my voraciously pregnant woman. Take some pills.

Same here. He'd feel better if he'd do some cardio a couple times a week and then push and pull on some iron the other days.
