I am wondering if you ever tried acetyl carnitine?

This may help with the fatigue. The carnitine enables the mitochondria to move in fatty acids for energy if glucose is low.
It can strengthen heart muscle, and skeletal muscle and provide some energy.

Start at 500mg a day and increase by 500mg /week and see if you get benefits up to 2000mg a day. Take in divided doses, as GI absorption reaches a limit maximum per dose.

some studies:
