I'm just so strongly feeling like I have narcolepsy lately but my sleep psychologist is the "but do you actually fall asleep when you get hit with the wall of sleepy?" type (and I had to ask her what the difference between tired and sleepy was, that was awkward and something doctors should probably make sure their patients know first???? Define your terms mf), so idk if/when I'll get diagnosed. Which is just fucking annoying and weird, considering she literally changed my sleep log to include a question about frequency of cataplexy.

Wife and I are trying to get a house, which means me starting work again, but I have no idea how I'm going to keep a job in this state.

#lex rambles #narcolespy #cataplexy #I read one source that approx 50% of people with narcolepsy are undiagnosed and yeah I can see why #when you have literal sleep doctors saying shit like 'but did you actually fall asleep?' #sorry all of my posts are me complaining about medical people

Theme From C Bear and Jamal

Tone Loc

People think narcolepsy means you fall fast asleep without warning, and the boss gets furious that someone's snoring during his big speech at the important business meeting. Or you're checking your baggage at the airport, right, and clunk! Now your hands are folded neatly under your head as you zip across a series of conveyor belts, nestled between suitcases and boxes, and when you wake up in Timbuktu. I have not ever dropped to the floor and started snoring like a cartoon character. I didn't get an official diagnosis until just a few months ago, at age 34, because my experience with narcolepsy is so unlike anything I'd ever seen depicted in media that the possibility I might have it never even crossed my mind. When I was 28, I was working as a high school paraeducator. I was helping one of my kids on a health class assignment, a research project on narcolepsy. It was the fist time I'd seen any real information about the symptoms. Insomnia? That was a surprise. That's the opposite of what I thought narcolepsy was. Sleep paralysis? Weird, I have a long history of sleep paralysis, but it happens to everybody, right? And what is this word, cataplexy? Wait, that scary thing where my body goes limp and I lose all muscle tone has a name??? I called a doctor as soon as I could, begged for a sleep study, made the test's technicians laugh with how off-the-scales my results were, and returned to the doctor to be told... "Well, narcolepsy is really rare." I said, "Yes. It is rare. And some people have it. And I think I might be one of them." My current doctor, a specialist who was able to make a diagnosis from those same test results, says it's not common, but it's not that rare. My old doctor, like most people, just didn't know anything about narcolepsy. So let me contribute to public understanding in my small, anecdotal way. Narcolepsy is when I unconsciously take down all the little things that were stuck to the decorative shelf in my bedroom (I still haven't found all the pushpins I removed) before sleepwalking into someone else's room at 4:00 in the morning, all while dreaming about C Bear and Jamal. So when you bump into your shelf and it starts to fall - Narcolepsy, y'all! Pushpins in your hand and LEGO on the floor - Narcolepsy, y'all! When you sleepwalk down the hall and open up the door - Narcolepsy, y'all! It's the funky sleep disorder we don't fully understand

Just discovered I might have very mild cataplexy. I sometimes let go of things I’m holding without meaning to, as if my hand just randomly decided to stop gripping it. It’s not out of any pain or tension cuz I can easily just bend down and grab it again. But if I don’t see it happen, I might not be aware of it. I’ve had multiple situations where I’ve dropped something in public and either ran back a few mins later after realising I dropped it, or someone comes and tells me I did it.

Idk, maybe it’s not cataplexy - maybe I’m just that freaking forgetful - but at the same time, it’s a little curious given that I am currently suspecting having narcolepsy. Just…just something to think about. Edit: Another thought but sometimes I’ll be standing completely still and then I randomly lose balance.

(Source) I’m just…this is something to think about fr.

Re: ur post on cataplexy:

Ur right ! It is a spectrum ! Cataplexy is starting to be understood far more common and nuanced than was previously thought. This, however, doesn’t mean that everyone with narcolepsy has cataplexy— I personally do not have cataplexy to any degree, but still have narcolepsy :)

Neurology is wild, I hope we can learn more about this disorder. Though it's not fun to live with, I find it fascinating and it's given me an interesting little weird window into things the brain can do.

My doctor the other day was like “It seems like your cataplexy comes from your strong emotional reactions to negative thoughts.” 

Then, of course, I proceeded to fall on the fucking floor, and was completely immobile because of how stressed I was just hearing that information. Fun fun

Anyway, what I’m saying is that I love that when Wednesday gets her visions (that also relate to strong negative emotions), she falls over

Imma just pretend I’m getting representation cuz I want it

Holy fuck has progesterone made me sensitive. I have cataplexy and a bit of a twitching problem in bed, and now that I'm on progesterone, all it takes one thigh touch to begin the cycle and the resulting movement alone is enough to keep it going. Paired with the cataplexy and the mood stabilizers I'm on, it's basically a off switch for 20-30 minutes of just convulsing and involuntary moaning until I can get it under control as my cataplexy renders me immobile, unable to do anything about it, and my BPD meds make sure the cycle doesn't come to a natural resolution. Luckily I trust my boyfriend, but I am so incredibly easy to just clock out of commission rn.

Established with a new primary doctor in a new medical network due to an insurance change and they requested that I get established with neurology or sleep medicine. So I called the same day on my referral and got the next available new patient appointment to transfer to the new insurance network. Six months out and I felt like that was a good near appointment, which is saddening in regards to the state of healthcare in the USA.

The new sleep medicine asked if I’d ever gotten an official diagnosis and I said yes ten years ago I had a sleep study and I have my results and have a current medication regiment. She sounded uhhhhh a little derisive and said “well, you’ll need a new one then to confirm that you do have the condition.” And I said I can just stop my meds for 48 hours and prove it by accident 🤷‍♀️ but sure I’ll have to meet my deductible anyway so whatever they need. She then said that the doctor wasn’t available for my case but the nurse practitioner could maybe take me on. I told her I’m not complaining or complicated, I just need refills before the end of the year. I wasn’t impressed with her handling, but her tone was phone business acceptable for the most part 😩

Anyway getting “started” all over again is going to be interesting.

Two switches with cataplexy is like the arm wrestling of sex. Very fun game.

Finding an informed and supportive specialist for Narcolepsy has been a long (and expensive) journey.
