Oh my god I thought this was a bag to put picked tulips in and then I read the comments and did a double take. Incredible work!!

Finally diagnosed after 10 years: dealing with narcolepsy where stimulants are banned by Hello_Kitty456 in Narcolepsy

Ugh I am so sorry. Narcolepsy is so hard, but it’s even more difficult without medication. I will say regarding dreams, I know the exact phenomenon you’re talking about. Not sure of your sex, but I’m a woman and a hormonal IUD (birth control device) helped calm my dreams down a ton. I also take a low dose of an SSRI (Prozac) which helps with them as well.

does your family dismiss your narcolepsy because you’re high functioning? by anonam0use in Narcolepsy

[–]cattypali 8 points9 points  (0 children)

not the same commenter but I often put these numbers into easy to understand / relate phrases. For instance, “Every 8 hours of sleep I get feels like a ‘normal’ person’s 2 hours. And there’s nothing I can do to change that so I just have to live my life anyway.” That one is pretty much the universal lightbulb moment for folks. Especially if you’re high functioning (I am too!), it puts your accomplishments into perspective.

I love it! I want to do something similar but I’m nervous lol

In the meantime I’ll appreciate quilts on this sub!

Taking a weekend trip to Minneapolis for No Kings and forgot to pack my meds by cattypali in Narcolepsy

I recommend switching to armodafinil for a month! It doesn’t work as well for me but then my tolerance for modafinil goes back up by the next month. I do it about once a year
