I feel that. I was also diagnosed as lazy and unable to live up to potential. Then in my 20s i was diagnosed with narcolepsy…

For some reason, your comment made me think of a video game idea… Futa ball! Football where all the players are… yea!

If someone actually makes this game, no need to credit me. Game idea is yours to keep my friends

I just scheduled an appointment with my GP and told him I needed a sleep lab. Insurance covered most of it, I think. I’m a little fuzzy on the details since it was a long time ago. If you’re in the US, you’ll likely want to make sure you get the details from your insurance company (assuming you have insurance; if not they can get pretty pricey). If you’re elsewhere, they’ll likely be free or cheap

I do suffer from cataplexy as well, yes.

I actually found out I had narcolepsy by doing a sleep lab for sleep-apnea as an adult. It kind of came as a shock since everyone else in my life thought I was just lazy as fuck. The ADHD diagnosis came years later.

I’m not an expert, but narcolepsy isn’t the only outcome for what you describe. It could also be hypersomnia, I think

Drinking a litre (~32oz) of espresso every day… ETA: I also have narcolepsy. its rough out here

Will they also help during a zombie apocalypse? Asking for a friend…
