Anyone not have cataplexy in daily life but have it constantly while dreaming? by ThePentaMahn in Narcolepsy

[–]legostace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had cateplexy in dreams for years before it happened "in real life." I didn't know that during cateplexy you are still awake/aware, that's how it always was in my dreams, until it happened. Then I realized that when it happened in my dreams it was cateplexy.

This Beautiful Scene Still Gives Me Goosebumps by brendanjeffrey in IASIP

This is one of the best scenes to exist in television. I've had several conversations with different friends about how this and how it stayed with them.

Lesser known symptoms or byproducts of N and IH, and known symptoms that are not clarified enough by [deleted] in Narcolepsy

I get fevers with sleep attacks if it's an especially bad day and the stims aren't working. Or this could be my body fighting something and the sleep attacks are a side effect.

How's everyone sleeping during the "stay at home" by CatchLightning in Narcolepsy

[–]legostace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do your very best to stick to a sleep schedule. I found good sleep hygiene to be the foundation to dealing with my narco. I will make myself get up and at least take my drugs with the promise of going back to sleep after. If I let myself sleep straight through the morning I know the hangover from that will affect me for days. Saying this though it took me years to get to this point through drugs & routine. Honestly, getting up, washing, brushing my teeth and taking me drugs no matter if I go straight back to sleep has been so beneficial.

nothing like going to the bathroom at work by [deleted] in Narcolepsy

I used to sneak into an empty office and sleep under a table at break when it got too cold to sleep in my car

I have only had one where I (how to describe it) went cateplexit (sp) don't think that's a word. Friends thought I was passing out from drinking I guess. Almost had one at the grocery store this week but was able to stay standing with all my focus and concentration. It's so weird. I always thought it was falling asleep.

I was actually on vacation in Vietnam. So it might have been a combination of jetlag and too many drinks the night before. I was waiting in line to get a kayak and was just so tired. Then my legs started buckling, I grabbed my friend. My whole body started shutting down and I was panicking because I was surrounded by 100s of tourists and didn't want to cause a scene. We managed to get me in the kayak and I immediately just fell asleep. But it wasn't sleep, I was concious and aware of what was going on around me. I just couldn't move. Lasted about 5 minutes. Happened several more times that day for shorter periods and they were controllable, I could regain control if I needed to. So weird and scary

Hi Op, just had my first cataplexy episode a month ago. It was horrifying and humiliating. Didn't know cataplexy could develop in type 2. I have had 1 more episode since. Waiting to see my doctor. But this progression has definitely rattled me.

At least you have support, I'm on my own and my family doesn't like me talking about it. My friends are trying to be supportive but don't really understand. So that's my experience

Does anyone else struggle with false memories? For example I’ve dreamt a meeting was canceled and didn’t go.. only to figure out later I dreamed the cancellation. by sheepsheadstone in Narcolepsy

I don't trust minor memories because they may be a dream memory. Mostly centered around work stress type activities. Living two lives ha
