What Causes Extreme Fatigue,chills And Dark Circles Overnight?

I ve been told by doctors that I have a sluggish liver. I woke today with chills and extreme fatigue. There are dark circles under my eyes and the whites are off-white. Several hours ago I took two milk thistle capsules, am on my third cup of dandelion tea, and feel slightly better. Do you have any suggestions for diagnosis and treatment?
