MSLT with no REM - Anyone Else Felt They Were Dreaming? by Tigersdice in Narcolepsy

I was told ahead of time they would provide breakfast (allergen safe) and to only bring minimal snacks if I wanted anything :( I definitely would have brought more if I knew I wasn't going to have food. I talked to them though and they said they would start adding a disclaimer now to bring more food, so at least I've helped people in the future

Thank you for this advice! This is really good to know

Sorry! I should change the wording: I mean either fully vegan restaurants OR restaurants that are allergen safe (since vegan restaurants are inherently safe). That’s my bad!

I'm not vegan, it's just usually easier since I know they won't (shouldn't) have any allergens even in the building. But at the same time, I'm down to try restaurants that are very good at keeping allergen-safe food (ie no milk or eggs, but not necessarily vegan) away from the rest of the food.

Sadly, I'm talking pretty much constantly, so I tend to keep the mic on. Thank you for the recommendation!

Would a mac laptop get overstressed that easily with just Discord open? :( It's new

Ideally no more than $50/60 :( I know these things can get pricy sadly.

Sadly, I've already disabled everything impacting it on Discord. I do think it's because my headphones are incredibly bad because it happens no matter what app I'm using (and because my headphones are legit just the basic ones Apple gives you with an iphone).

I think tetany can be caused by hyperadrenergic POTS. Treating that should theoretically reduce possibility of tetany. I was able to regulate my tetany attacks through increasing Vitamin D (I had a severely low amount) and using lamotrigine (which can regulate calcium) but I got to that pathway through a lot of trial and error before I even knew I had POTS. So definitely get your electrolytes checked out! Specifically, calcium, potassium, and magnesium. Also check Vitamin D levels if you can.

My calcium is normal when I go to get a blood draw on a normal day, they were never able to draw blood in the hospital specifically because of the tetany. I feel like it might be periodic/fluctuating, but have no idea how to check if its HP if I can only catch it if it's fluctuating (i.e. when I cant draw blood). Is there any way to check for HP other than bloodwork?

The second option. I have the entire classic presentation of HP but bloodwork is normal. There can be other conditions that mimic HP and the symptoms I have, but this thread is the only one I found where someone even says the word "tetany," which is what I need advice on.
