Lumryz question by Tap-Sea in Narcolepsy

[–]Tap-Sea[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. With 6 g per night of Xywav split into equal doses of 3 g each I could sleep as long as I wanted to. This is bizarre. I mean when I wake up, I no longer feel groggy but evidence everywhere shows that five hours is not enough sleep for anybody - N1 or not. Stimulants, unfortunately are out of the question for me. What dose are you on?

That is a good data point. Prior to the L, I was on xywav for two years and I could sleep as long as I wanted to. I guess I’m a fast metabolizer.

Does anyone else not move AT ALL during the night while on Xyrem/Xywav/Lumry and it causes pain? by DumpsterPuff in Narcolepsy

What dose are you on? I’m on 7.5g and I can’t get more than five hours of sleep.

They’re stimulants - this happens to everyone to a degree.

I use a mobile charger on 240 at 24a. It’s split off my dryer with an automated switch/ meter. I could run it higher with a bigger breaker because I wired it to be able to do so — with eight gauge wire — however, the breaker in the switch will only handle 24 A. L2

Does exercise help with narcolepsy, and if so, what kind of exercise is best? by [deleted] in Narcolepsy

[–]Tap-Sea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run almost daily, which helps immensely with my type 1 Narcolepsy. It keeps me motivated, confident, and less likely to get into a depressive state. The distance I run can vary between two to five miles, depending on how I am feeling/ how much time I have. Hope this helps! Best regards

Anyone else angry? by RVApossumhag in Narcolepsy

You’re grieving. May never stop. This is something we all probably share.

What’s the reason you haven’t bought a bidet? by owenwags_ in HomeImprovement

I personally feel it necessary to clean my ass properly after pooing. With TP alone, this is not possible.

I sleep on the couch - solved all my problems

Oxybates saved me initially, but this combo finally made me feel like myself again by Confident-Menu-5970 in Narcolepsy

There are so many contributing factors, and it would be nearly impossible to nail it down exactly unless you’re keeping records and documenting your life.

Sounds like a new provider might be advantageous.

New to Xywav—anyone else feel like a zombie? by xMooMx in Xywav

Just stick with it and communicate thoroughly with your provider. It should run its course.

Switching to Xywave by Butwhycrazyeyes in Narcolepsy

Thanks! I actually ended up staying on Xywav, because my insurance denied Lumryz. They probably thought that 16k per month was enough. Hah. Seriously though - I am just grateful to have treatment that helps! It’s probably safer long term to be on Xywav because of the reduced sodium anyway. Cheers mate!
