Summary
A Reddit user with long COVID and AuDHD said stimulants helped: on Vyvanse they could work out regularly and motivate themselves to do things. They also found methylfolate helped a lot. Exercise, especially building leg muscle, was the best thing, though they had POTS-like symptoms too mild to be diagnosed.
