In late 2017, right about when the headaches weren't being so severe, I started to have problems with fatigue. I exercise daily, I eat well, I sleep well, and I avoid alcohol/caffeine.

The fatigue is strange, I wake up in the morning feeling good. My energy gradually declines and within 1-5 hours I feel braindead. The only thing that bring my energy back is if I lay down in bed for 1-3 hours. I do not sleep during this time. I feel extremely depressed and hopeless when I am in bed, but after I've been there long enough my energy and mood and back to normal. I do not feel depressed the rest of the day.

I spoke to my neuro, who felt the fatigue wasn't from the PCS because I didn't experience any initially. Docs are running bloodwork and looking for treatable diseases at the moment, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this kind of fatigue kick in so long after a head injury?
