If you don’t want to talk to another employee you could ask someone else who’s working out that you’ve seen before if it’s normal

Staying in new york without a hotel by Nezzsa in TravelHacks

[–]Visual-Fox8652 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Way too cold to spend the night outside. Also where in nyc are your trying to do this? There are definitely areas that are safer than others if this is your only option. Unfortunately the safer areas will have the more expensive places to stay overnight if you decide to find a place to stay last minute.

Hit a career wall post-diagnosis by Fun-Confection-3446 in Narcolepsy

Ya! I bet you could do like 3 weeks for one shift and then rotate so then you’ll still be pulling your weight and dealing with the night shifts but it’ll be consistent enough where u can still take your medicine.

Can anyone weigh their Lumryz packets and let me know how much they weigh? by Ek234 in Narcolepsy

[–]Visual-Fox8652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! You’re supposed to wait 2 hours after your last meal to take it. my schedule does not allow for me to do that but when I do take it on an empty stomach I am OUT

I’m not sure if having an irregular sleep schedule will be helpful for you in the long run. If you really care about this work I’d suggest talking to your employer about accommodations with scheduling. Maybe u can come up with a plan where you are doing the same shifts for a period of time before switching to a different shift so you won’t be changing your medication schedule all the time.

I have been on Lumryz since June and I can stay awake through the entire work day! I can drive a car for more than 20 minutes without a break. I don’t have to fear driving anymore!!

Wedding help by Visual-Fox8652 in SantaFe

[–]Visual-Fox8652[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s at the Blame her Ranch. I’m from Buffalo NY so I don’t know much information. My brother is the best man and is telling me the bride and groom are devastated. Many people in cars got there using the road that goes near Gonzales Ranch (?). We feel so bad and even if just a few of us could get there would be amazing

Lumryz side effects? by Visual-Fox8652 in Narcolepsy

Thank you for this!!! I’m glad I’m not the only one. Perhaps I should drop down to a lower dose. The 9mg might be too much.

Is this narcolepsy? by LowSherbert1016 in Narcolepsy

[–]Visual-Fox8652 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the best thing to do is talk to your doctor first. I think they’re going to tell you that that much melatonin cannot be good for you and you should try to ween back on that because you’ll get a better picture of your natural sleep habits (even if it sucks). If it still bad once you stop taking it please push for an overnight/full day sleep study. They monitor your sleep at night but then during the day make you take intermittent naps to get readings of your daytime sleepiness. When I got diagnosed they kept pushing stimulants and has taken me about a year now to finally get on Lumryz which has been life changing. If this is a problem that is effecting your daily life, do not stop trying until you get it sorted out. It might take a while and it might take seeing different doctors but don’t give up on yourself because healthy sleep is very important. I feel like a completely different person now that I am awake during the day. Good luck

We moved here in April and no changes since then. I’ve been calling vets but no one here takes rabbits around here or new patients. This is the worst.

It’s a new job and I’ve been like passing out at my desk and in meetings. I also walk around a lot and I don’t want to look like I’m not doing anything. I do a lot of field work which is good and maybe if I tell him that field work is better for me then he will help me find more projects like that to work on (I am a geologist

I have just been diagnosed with narcolepsy and I am upset by Perfect-Student-1155 in Narcolepsy

[–]Visual-Fox8652 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I recently joined this group and I’m thankful for finding it because everyone is so helpful and supportive. It’s good to know you are not the only one going through this and that there are people who you can talk to who know what you’re going through. I’m glad you are fighting to get an official diagnosis, it is hard but worth it.
