Over here, too! I feel like I've had a lobotomy and even after the other symptoms were gone, I have been sleeping an extra 6h a day. I feel like I need a little nap and wake up 3h later.

We still have a lot to learn from this plague.

I too have become a nap fiend since a bout with covid last year. I can't get through a working day without one now. (I do extend the day afterwards, if anyone is wondering)

> I feel like I've had a lobotomy I have been feeling like this for years. But I do know there was a time where I didn‘t feel like that. I wonder if anxiety, an unknown past (viral?) illness, past medication (Isotretinoin, SSRI?) or something else is at fault.

  Consider looking at autoimmune if you have weird issues. Took me 20 years of vague symptoms to get diagnosed.

    Should I just go to an endocrinologist and tell them I feel like shit? From my experience it‘s pointless to visit any doctor without a serious, clear problem.

      A Rumatologist. endocrinologist Is also a good idea. Make a list of every symptom you have. Get some lab work done. See if there is any outliers. My ANA was off. 1:640 speckled. Doctors kept telling me to ignore it. It ended up being a major clue to keep pushing for more and more testing. You will absolutely be gaslit by doctors at every step of the way. Gotta keep pushing and learning. Join the support forms for chronic illness in Reddit and Facebook. Eventually you’ll see people that are suffering the exact same symptom that you are. They can guide you on what has to take to confirm a rule out various ideas

        Alright, I will check out my ANA. My general bloodworks, liver, kidney and c-reactive protein are usually completely normal. The thing is, I do suffer from medium to severe anxiety and have trouble sleeping. Those things could be the source of me feeling bad.

Long Covid is turning out to be subtle and pernicious. I would not be surprised to learn that lots of illnesses have long-term complications that have gone unnoticed.
