So it’s just that low DAO and high homocysteine left, which probably points toward some metabolic thing, maybe involving MTHFR or histamine. But honestly, it doesn't seem like anything major either...
I'm just exhausted and I can't deal with all this researching anymore.
Started on Prozac, so I guess we'll see how it goes in a couple of months.

Hey, hang in there 👍.
I mean, it's pretty brave of you to admit it might actually be a mental health thing,
but you should definitely stick through the trial period. Though if you're looking for energy, I feel like
Wellbutrin would help way more since SSRIs usually kind of tank your energy and anxiety levels.
If you kept digging into all that medical stuff, I reckon you would've just wasted a ton of time and money.

I know—it’s tough to admit—that this might actually be a mental health issue,

Wellbutrin would help much more—since SSRIs tend to tank your energy levels and increase anxiety.

Thanks 🙂
I was told my excessive need for sleep is actually a symptom of escaping emotional issues or depression. And the reason for the Prozac is to dial down the hypochondria that’s been spiraling out of control.
To be honest, it’s hard for me to accept all of this as "psychological"—but I don't feel like I have much of a choice. It feels strange—to go from investigating a physical problem yesterday to calling it a "symptom" today and taking pills to suppress it. I consider myself a pretty rational guy, so this is difficult to reconcile. But I’ll try it and see... I don't know what else to do.
And I'm not sure how much of a setback it is for treatment that I'm not 100% convinced there isn't some underlying physical cause—like hormones or chemical synthesis—behind it all.

In my view, perhaps my biggest hurdle is that I don't see mental and physical health as separate things. To me, depression and anxiety are just as much a physical illness—a physical manifestation—as anything else.

Man, I am just so wiped out. I can't deal with all this researching anymore.

If your homocysteine is up, then your B vitamins are likely low, like B6 for example...

A quick question for the author: have you perhaps tested for COVID antibodies yet?

Megan Jones27 said:Quick question for the OP—did you happen to test for any COVID antibodies?

No, I haven't. These symptoms started last year—it’s likely a blood test wouldn't show anything useful at this stage, right?

A friend of mine dealt with COVID back in March of last year. Even a full year later, she still shows antibodies, though they are starting to taper off. It might be worth checking your own levels just to see if you developed immunity at some point without even realizing you were sick. Plus, there's always the chance that whatever symptoms you're dealing with now could actually be part of long COVID...
