100%. Maybe even the lack of weekends and general monotonous nature of life could be it.

Not depressed. Have therapist.

You’re likely correct. Psychological from social changes seems most likely thing.

Yes to both. Exercise generally helps. Yes to vitamin D (there’s a great long vitamin PDF on COVID for like $15). Yes to sunshine. Trying to walk with a mask daily.

Honestly the base hypothesis is that it’s the societal change, and not the n=1 study.

Throwaway due to worry about comment being linked back professionally. Early COVID case mid February. Took 5 weeks to recover but the acuity wasn’t too bad.

After just never really felt the same. Assumed adderall “wasn’t working”. Couldn’t explain the lethargy or sharp uptick in anxiety and general inability to work. Luckily with the world it’s been easier to lay low, but the symptoms generally track even the muscle piece.

Is there more research on this? Where does one get this “Fatigue Scale” test? The linked article suggests they tested at an osteopathic clinic but that doesn’t really make sense.
