Summary
Vale 25789 developed chronic fatigue after a COVID-19 infection and later still had shortness of breath and a racing heart. They recently started aripiprazole for the fatigue. It did not fully help the tiredness but improved their drive and they became a little more active, which they called a small step in the right direction.
