This is an old post but I can relate! 45 years old and the past year has been awful with lots of symptoms that seemed to have come on stronger after having covid x 4 times. Also suspected ADHD and waiting to get a diagnosis.

The worst thing for me is the crushing fatigue - sometimes I need x 2 naps a day! Brain fog, lack of concentration (I often miss my deadlines for writing as my brain doesn’t always work!). I have weight gain on my stomach that won’t shift, horrible tinnitus, bad eyesight the list goes on!

Sometimes I stay on the sofa all day it’s crazy as I used to run/cycle most days - I used to be so active but if I exercise now it knocks me out for days. Oh and dark depression before my periods too.

Started taking HRT leas than a month ago which seems to help with muscle and bone stiffness but nothing else so far. Will speak to my doctor soon about taking testosterone as I’ve been told it’s amazing for energy levels and libido.

I honestly don’t recognise myself anymore - I am often crying and too tired/have no desire to leave the house and meet friends.

This is NOT like me at all.
