CFS chronic fatigue syndrome
I have CFS chronic fatigue since 3yrs, post covid on Feb 2022. Can barely walk few steps or talk few words, only in evenings when energy levels get little better.
Sleep is excess - 11-12hrs from 2am to 1pm. And still have drowsiness. Cannot take modafinil due to long half life as then I get insomnia. I also get restless with modafinil.
What other types of medicines/ treatments can be tried? Does psychiatrist treat CFS?
Note that all antidepressants (ssri snri tca) caused higher fatigue. There is no depression or trauma or mood issues.
