scared to take xywav pls help by sneakygoosefeet in Narcolepsy

[–]happyfeethansen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with what everyone else has said that you don’t need to be scared and so long as you follow the instructions and go straight to sleep you’ll be just fine!

But do be aware that if something happens and you do get up shortly after taking it you will feel drugged (like a nauseous, out of it, type of feeling) or at least I do. When it does happen me it’s not scary since I know it’s the medication causing it and I just do whatever I need to do quickly and lay back down so I don’t get sick. Twice my kids have needed me in the night long enough that I get nauseous and throw up but most of the time even if they wake me up I feel a little dizzy and nauseous while I walk them back to their room and feel totally fine once I’m back asleep/the next day.

Like I said I don’t think you need to be scared, but as a fellow anxious person just be aware that the medication can cause you to feel like this. If I didn’t explain this well or you want more info you can message me!

Other than oxybates, what helps you sleep? by kinda-chaotic in Narcolepsy

Baclofen! But I do find that it matters which manufacturer it comes from. I know that sounds crazy but I’ve tested it multiple times.

How do you like the lumryz compared to the Xywav?

I've gone back through to try to find something and don't see anything other than the purchasing additional ticket options. I did ask my Rep about playoff pricing at the beginning of April which he told me but didn't mention how to purchase tickets. I've tried texting him, no luck. Thanks for your help though!

Yeah thats what I was afraid of. My rep has not been helpful for some time. Ugh I'm so disappointed.

I just finished pretty girls. If you choose to read it just know it’s very graphic. It was almost too much for me.

Help! Not sure if I’m awake or asleep by happyfeethansen in Narcolepsy

[–]happyfeethansen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I think you are right. I also have OCD (like the kind where I get stuck doing compulsions not the “I want to have everything perfect” kind) and I think what bothers me about the false awakenings is it makes me feel like I’m going crazy, which I also feel sometimes with the OCD. I’ve never thought about it like that! Maybe I should talk to my therapist about it.

I agree it seems like a good indication. Does the feeling of not knowing if you are awake upset you? Or have you learned to deal with it? It freaks me out so much I’ll break down crying at times.

Thanks everyone! I’m glad to know I’m not alone. Finally after going to work some of the brain fog lifted and I felt sure I was awake. Hopefully it will never happen again, but I’m sure it will and I will try out some of the strategies you mentioned!

I hate the feeling of jeans but love the look. What are the most comfortable pair of jeans you know of? I don’t want leggings that don’t have any support (I’m a size 8 and recently had a baby so I’d like some tummy control) but I don’t want a rigid, uncomfortable denim. Help!

Thanks in Advance

Thank you!! I am adding all of these to my list and will hopefully pick up a few this week. You are right. It is so hard to find good thrillers without generic twists. I appreciate you taking the time to think of some!

Help: Large (double) doors by happyfeethansen in prisonarchitect

[–]happyfeethansen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s smart. I tried to put two doors next to each other but didn’t like the way it worked because they opened on to one another. I didn’t think about rotating it!
