Summary
A 21-year-old man who had felt constant fatigue, weakness and sleepiness for seven years, with thinking affected if he slept less than 11-12 hours. Autoimmune conditions, HIV and hepatitis were tested for and a sleep study was inconclusive for mild sleep apnoea. Zinc and B complex had no effect, and a year of exercise helped only for an hour or two at a time.
