Summary
Maple 54903, posting in ME/CFS and long-COVID forums in autumn 2021, said cocoa briefly lifted energy but caused sleep issues. A few weeks of a treatment made no difference. They called 20 mg NADH and 200 mg CoQ10 the first thing that ever worked, giving steady functioning without resolving the illness.

I can use cocoa for some days and I also seem to recover energy faster than usual in the beginning. However it causes sleep issues and thereby taps my energy in the end.
