You could also try magnesium supplements (500-600mg/day) to see if this offers a little relief. Magnesium helps in nerve and muscle function. It would take a week to notice any difference.
I'm so sorry about your dad. It seems he is really struggling. Has he been tested for Borrelia yet? In its severest form, it can cause all of the symptoms you mention. The fatigue of Borrelia feels a lot like Glandular Fever (I have had both). As Borrelia can suppress the immune system, sometimes viruses (especially EBV) in the body flare up and make the patient feel even worse and confusing the diagnosis.
I don't know if this is a possibility for your dad, but in the absence of good answers, it might be worth testing for it.
