Extreme Fatigue and Brain Fog

Posted by kanaovij @kanaovij, 10 hours ago

Hello - I have been suffering from extreme fatigue and occasional brain fog for almost four years now. It is almost impossible to work. I used to be very active outdoors, but now I just mostly sleep my weekends away.

I had a complete workup of blood tests, MRI scan, EKG, Echo cardiogram, cardio stress tests, seen pulmonary hypertension specialists, sleep specialists, etc... No answers. Therefore, they are thinking long COVID. I average about 9 hours of sleep per night and never feel refreshed. I eat very healthy (my wife is a nutritionist).

The only things that help a little are a stimulate (Sunosi) my doctor prescribed which appears to be less effective over time and jogging on the treadmill in the morning which is so hard to get motivated and only helps for about an hour. The fatigue is getting worse.

Are there other remedies folks find effective for the fatigue and brain fog? Are there any clinical studies enrolling?

Thank you in advance for your response.

-Jeff

Talk with your doctor about Low Dose Naltrexone. This has had the most consistent benefit for fatigue and brain fog of all interventions so far for many. Here is a link to some information:

Other things that I have found helpful include photobiomodulation,
Mineral baths, resonance breathing, pacing and anything that reduces stress.
Consider seeing an allergy/ immunology specialist that has an interest in Long Covid or post viral conditions as reducing all forms of inflammation can be very helpful including minor allergies and evaluation for Mast Cell Activation syndrome.
