Here's something to consider, though. Huperzine A is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, and it is being investigated as a treatment for Alzheimer's. There does seem to be a connection between acetylcholine and brain function.
Thanks Geode for those great pointers!

I googled that and it brought me right back here with this:

Does yours go hand in hand with flare ups? Do you see an improvement with any medication?

Alzheimers is the first thing I thought of ….but then all the other things donīt fit.

Anyway it seemed way way scarier to struggle with diminished brain functioning whilst thinking than it was to struggle with fatiguing limbs whilst doing a task.
