Hi
After hearing your history i would recommend to treat excessive fatigue with changing your lifestyle which can help reduce your symptoms.
I will recommend you to eleminate your caffeine intake will help you sleep better and ease your insomnia.
You should also limit your nicotine and alcohol intake, too. Try to avoid napping during the day if it’s hurting your ability to sleep at night. Create a sleep routine: You should go to bed at the same time every night and aim to wake up around the same time every morning.
It’s also important to pace yourself during activities. Overexertion can make your symptoms worse and bring on an episode of fatigue. Avoid emotional and physical stress. Take time each day to relax or participate in activities you enjoy.
