I got diagnosed four years ago. This is the first time I’m talking to anybody outside of my family, but I still feel like I can get more information if anybody has any tips or any helpful ways to help me deal with the daily fatigue and lack of energy. It’d be much appreciated.

Energy!!!

Alright all? I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what’s best for low fatigue/energy? I know it’s a norm for us, but if anyone had any tips on boosting energy, that would be great.
