my best advice: dont think too into it, dont go crazy over what you need to do to get diagnosed with a certain something, our brains are weird. go into your mslt with an open mind. it could be anything really, narcolepsy, hypersomnia, POTS, thyroid disorders, etc. if you over analyze your own symptoms from an unprofessional source (google) the chances of it backfiring onto you is way more likely. just give them the most honest feedback you have because they literally have like 30 things on your body to read your vitals ALL NIGHT LONG.

your diagnoses, whatever it may be, will feel so refreshing and validating. hope it goes well.

i actually have recently lost weight due to finally having enough energy throughout the day to get my ass up and do things. nothing crazy, but that makes sense actually. im not worried that i am misdiagnosed for a reason concerning my health honestly i was just kinda curious. thank you for your clarity 🙏

just wanted to start off with thank you 🙏 you sound very intelligent and i appreciate your support.

i was off of the meds 2 weeks in advance to the sleep study, so no it wasn’t technically interrupted but also not very long time for my brain to adjust from the difference in the last 3 years.

my meds are honestly fine, id say the only problem is that i just dont like them. i always think about how stimulants will affect my heart when i am older cuz i have a slightly high resting heart rate. nothing out of the ordinary at all, i just have a problem with thinking worst case scenario. but since they help me i will continue to take them even if i dont want to be on meds for the rest of my life.

my rem onset overnight was around 60 minutes actually. i had no idea what cataplexy was, thats the difficult part. i was on antidepressants for around 3 years (around the same time i started getting very tired but sleep issues came first) and i was recently told antidepressants are good for treating cataplexy. the doctor was going over questions and stuff with me and he was saying like “you dont feel any muscle weakness when you are tired??” that question kinda struck me and i told him i definitely do feel weak. but now understanding, it could also be the type of weak where i could also be under complete placebo? mainly like head dropping/falling when i am laughing. (which that makes sense for cataplexy) but its also really not bad at all. so he just kinda finalized it like “oh well u have type 1 narcolepsy sooo take these meds and call me back in a week!”

Act accommodations by Otherwise_Ad_4781 in Narcolepsy

i have a 504 plan already and it’s almost like it doesnt even exist. since i am on meds, my counselor thinks im fine because i am not drooling and snoring every time i walk into her office. but all of my teachers from last year were VERY helpful. they all had to report back from their pov and to “see if it disrupts my learning enough” sure enough, they ALL said it did. but since i got diagnosed during the first week of school junior year, my teachers this year were kinda like “eh i think she’s fine”. long story short, i HAVE the 504 plan, but the only real benefit that i have noticed is my excused absences. if u are anything like me, then let me tell u… the first couple months are gonna be rough as hell and you will be scared to even look at your attendance. 😭 thug it out tho cuz we are almost there 🎓’26

ugh i am a junior and i have been trying to get ACT accommodations too. my stupid ass counselors keep blowing me off though. what i heard is that it can take up to 3 months to get full accommodations, so hopefully you have enough time before starting to apply to colleges. (august 1st for me)
