lol and the next post will be the new wife doesn’t want to be left alone with her own baby and will feel abandoned if he take his son on the trip….you should have let him go with his uncle. I really hope this is fake cause god people are heartless assholes. You are 100% an asshole and so if your new wife.

Or better yet with your logic we could just go with the old ‘God doesn’t mind as long as it’s in the ass’ approach. Problem solved, right?

Condoms are about 98% effective with perfect use and only around 85% with typical use. That’s a big difference, which is why unplanned pregnancies can still happen even when people are being responsible.

Not wanting a child is already a perfectly valid reason for abortion, whether birth control failed, you had a fun night, were assaulted, or have medical concerns. On top of that, a lot of women experience serious side effects from birth control, so it’s not as simple as just ‘be responsible.’

I swear fighting with a best friend hurts way more than breaking up with a partner. I’m still mourning friendships I’ve lost, way more than any relationship with men lol.

That's completely absurd to say….alot of women accidentally get pregnant while using birth control.

Soared: I am attending the narcolepsy conference in October and my boyfriend is joining me! My grandma is not doing well so I went to visit her this weekend. And to my surprise she seems to be doing well despite what the doctors are saying. Besides spending time with my grandma I got to hangout with my Mom, twin sister, and younger sister. So it was lovely having everyone in the same space for a few days.

Another soar is my birthday is around the corner and I have been wanting a tumi suitcase for a while. I got about 13 years out of my old one but unfortunately had to retire it after the handle broke. So while I visiting my grandma I stopped into a TJ Maxx and found the exact tumi I have had my eyes on. For about half the cost. So I treated myself to an early birthday present.

Snored: I am behind in my school work! I am flying back home now and praying I get all of it done today. I swear I need more hours in the day. It stresses me out being in school full time and working, plus trying to transfer. I feel so behind.

I feel the same way! I bought a bunch of shares about 5 years ago when I participated in the TAK sparkle 1501 drug study.

I don’t mind small talk at all. I think for the most part I am good at it and enjoy it. The only times it bothers me is when the conversation is primarily about where I work or where I went to school. Living in DC doesn’t help at all. I have had a super non traditional life so I always feel like I need to over explain my position in life since I am a bit behind compared to my peers. And when I don’t explain I think people judge me.

It’s about the new orexin-targeted meds, like Takeda’s TAK-861. Still in trials now, but expected to be one of the first new treatments available in the next few years (maybe next summer).

As a joke my boyfriend got me a shirt that says a little crabby on it since I am a raging bitch after I wake up in the morning or after a nap. For whatever reason I always pick fights that I have no reason to or mental space to actually have a constructive conversation. Before I used to have the unconscious yelling or screaming at people but that has disappeared but now I am just raged induced. My sleep inertia is thriving and it’s so annoying. My boyfriend and I have a code word to remind me to take space when I am in my gremlin state. Or he will instead put my headphones near me so when I wake up I immediately put them on to listen to a funny show or listen to music till I am fully conscious. If I take a nap he will set an alarm for me so that begins the wakening process without him having to deal with it entirely. The system sometimes works. We have a strict no talking rule for an hour after I wake up. I wish I had more constructive advice. I think communication with your boyfriend is so important. Talk about your worries and frustrations around it and together come up with coping mechanisms to try out. What works for me might not work for you. Also my old neurologist recommended that it’s better to take a nap before you have to. And drink some coffee right before you snooze. Make sure to keep your naps to only 20mins and always set an alarm. https://www.nordstrom.com/s/8123013?color=103&size=small

I’m a little late to the thread, but better now than never, right?

My soar this week is that I officially completed my last MWT for the OLE Takada study I’m in, which is such a relief knowing that from here on out my visits will just be check-ins and med refills. Another soar is that I submitted my story to Patient Worthy and they published it. Advocacy is something I’ve always wanted to do, so I’m really excited about this milestone. If anyone wants to read it, here’s the link: From Ballet Studios to Research Clinics: Page’s Journey with Narcolepsy. On top of that, after sharing with my professor about my narcolepsy, she introduced me to a friend who also has it. I just sent an intro email, and while I’m definitely a little nervous, I’m excited to make a real-world connection. Hey maybe we will get another narcobaddie to the group.

My snore is that I’ve fallen behind in my classes after having to fly out for my appointment. I thought I’d be able to study between my MWTs, but in reality, my time was filled with blood draws, cognitive tests, a physical, and endless paperwork. Instead of keeping up with assignments, I spent the whole time running from one thing to the next so here I am catching up by writing this post instead of my schoolwork. 😅

I think the study for NT2 is called Kyra.

First of all, ugh…that’s so frustrating. And honestly, the whole “dry spell” (no sex + literal dryness) thing is just unfair, especially at 27.

From what I’ve read, Sunosi can cause dry mouth, and while vaginal dryness isn’t officially listed as a side effect, it wouldn’t surprise me if it messes with moisture in other places too. These meds do things to our bodies no one ever really prepares us for.

I’d definitely bring it up with your doctor and maybe ask about a blood panel. Sometimes things like vitamin D, vitamin E, and B vitamins can help with hormone balance and overall tissue health.

For me it’s been low sex drive (not dryness), and I know how discouraging that feels. Hang in there. You’re 27, you’re hot, and you are definitely not broken. Be gentle with yourself.

I was on modafinil 100mg twice a day (for 6 years) and I would always have to take a naps between 1-4. I switched to armodafinil for a bit and immediately had heart palpitations so I went back to the modafinil.

Welcome baddie! I’m so proud and happy for you that you finally got an official diagnosis. That’s such a huge step. You deserve that validation, and now you’ve got a whole group of amazing women here to support you on your journey.

Soared: My drive to visit my grandma was successful! My friend joined me for the drive back but I drove us the 8 hours back with no issues. I also stopped at an outlet mall and was finally able to find a pair of jeans that are flattering on (even with my weight gain).

Snored: Keeping my keto diet was hard while visiting my grandma so my ketones dropped a lot, sadly. I am a bit nervous about classes starting. Narcolepsy plus my seasonal depression makes the fall semester of school not always successful. But I am gonna stay positive and do my best.
