Constant tiredness and vitamins.

Roy

I’m not after any medical advice or help with prescription medication. I realised I’m autistic about three years ago and went into a long burnout, probably about 18 months long. I then contracted covid three times and have gone from insomniac to not being able to stay awake, I can sleep for 10 - 12  hours and wake up tired, I’m constantly tired and could quite happily sleep in the daytime. That’s not possible as I need to work. I don’t do anything in the evenings anymore and can quite happily go to bed at 8pm. To be honest I still have little interest in anything.

I don’t know if autism is overwhelming me more and I’m realising that so much of my life and struggles have been autism related or if I still have the affects of covid. I’ve had blood tests and all normal. 

Is there any vitamins anyone can recommend, not weird foods as I couldn’t eat them. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    After I had covid last year, I was feeling completely exhausted for months after the illness resolved. All my blood tests came back normal. It turned out to be long covid. 

    My GP suggested some vitamins, but nothing really changed. It just had to run its course. I think it finally started to improve after six months, but long covid symptoms can persist for years.

    If you've already checked everything else, it might be worth thinking about whether this could be what's going on for you too.
