I thought of maybe making it easier by using a lower gear so that I could cycle longer but I don't see the point.

I think I should have noticed something after 3 weeks, right?
Sorry you're not seeing the effects Scooter. You definitely seem to have a very resistant case. I am continually in awe at how well you handle it and keep trying new things.

I was wondering what your diet is like. I've seen a good bit of research linking depression and diet. I know the causes of issues can be multifaceted, so maybe there's a clue there?

I would keep going with the exercise. It is benefiting you even if you cannot feel it yet.
