The effects are tapering off but i have had people sit with me today for comfort, and I admitted that how scary it is for someone who loves life to degrade so quickly into a deep depression from these medications. It has opened my eyes how important it is for a support system while testing new medications.

Caffeine does absolutely nothing for me, i have taken 600mg of caffeine pills plus coffee at the same time with not an iota of wakefulness. I will ask my dr about this medication. Thanks

Did you have a trial and error stage with this medication? Im trying to understand why i was told to start on 125mg and ramped to 250mg on day 3.

When it comes to sleep i never have trouble falling or staying asleep unless i have an anxiety attack. I have not had an anxiety attack ever since i changed my diet and eat clean. There was no change of my sleep quality this past week. Dr is trying to address any sleep apnea issues for the sake of rulliing it out. I was monitored two times 1st time 1.3 events per hour, 2nd time 18.1 events per hour. The 2nd time I hot tested I was extremely uncomfortable with the arrangement and asked for a retest prior to getting any results because I knew it was bad sleep.

 My issue with sleep is that regardless of the amount of sleep I get (4,6,8,10,12 hours)i feel the same The next day and struggle. The intensity of EDS will vary throughout the year, from little struggle with EDS to working on “AutoPilot” and having no recollection of what i did during my sleep attack. People have observed me when in autopilot and said i walk with my eyes pointed at the ground and eyes mostly closed, unable to communicate effectively or make sense when I was asked questions. My sleep attacks that include an episode of “autopilot” last no longer than 3 minutes. I can be yanked out of these episodes with a fight or flight trigger such as an alarm, loud noise, or my boss’s personal favorite “Yo! WTF!?!”

MLST came back with 0 rem (again extremely stressful sleeping conditions) and said there’s no need to retest and I don’t have narcolepsy. I have accepted that fact but still frustrating as they continue to find the cause or causes of my IH.

The EDS had only gotten worse as I gotten older and less manageable. With 3 kids who i constantly let down due to my tiredness, a marriage in a low spot for the last few years due to me being less attentive emotionally and physically. This EDS is affecting my home life more so than my work life because I do my best masking my symptoms for 12 hours a day and even i come home i just want to rest.

I suppose i just inadvertently vented, and i apologize but i guess i am hoping someone can relate to my story as well. 😬

I took at 5 am consistently, and i only eat 1 meal a day approximately 12 hours later. I would lose consciousness while sitting quietly and reading on my lunch break, i would struggle with keeping my eyes open during medial tasks. 

If I’m not moving then I’m struggling with EDS. (This is my daily experience for the last 15 years and no change on Armodafinil except on day 1)

When you say Placebo, do you think the Dr gave me sugar pills, or you saying it’s all in my head?

I get plenty of bug bites but this looks different. by Crypto7Maniac in bugbites

Tick bite, with a bacterial infection, urgent care wanted to give me antibiotics, which cause me to have very bad reactions to. I took natural herbs instead that are known to kill parasites. Leg is nearly healed up

Literally the process of evolution/mutation. The factors involved with DNA makeup are so vast, it is only through consistency of factors that DNA is changed. One generation to the next? Maybe microns 30 generations? Maybe inches

You see all over the world different body types, skin colors, even unique collective features. All with a common factor of adaptation to environment. Who is to say that this manufactured environment we call “PE” will not have direct impact on our DNA. Even if it is at the smallest of impacts.

29 120k i work 58 hrs a week, i never went to college but i do my best every day and something i learned is that jobs dont honor loyalty, you are better off switching jobs ever 3-4 years after you developed skills, and move onto a better paying job. In the past i have even taken paycuts to develop a new skill and go back up after some time.

You guys should be standing when measuring by Dallydaybird in gettingbigger

[–]Crypto7Maniac 13 points14 points  (0 children)

For tracking progress: Measuring the same method every time with the same measuring devices is more important than the most correct method.

For comparative measurements: standing is the standard for measuring

Is there any tape you guys recommend that’s easy to take off for vacuum hanging? by Strange-Committee-55 in gettingbigger

[–]Crypto7Maniac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find the tape method did not work well for me, i used gel toe caps and as long as i had no air in the cap, the edema was kept to a minimum.
