Okay! Where to even begin.
Narcoleptic
That's what I am...... Oh plus I have cataplexy. Fun....
N. O. T.
Medication issues since forever....
When my oldest was in kindergarten I began the road of stimulants to hopefully allow me to wake up in time to get her to school on time..... Ha
Ha
Ha
Ha
Funny. I put my self through terrible headaches, nausea, actual vomiting.....
I lost over 50 pounds..... I was miserable.
I only ate maybe once a day.
Fast forward one year from "medicine cocktail" being found and I'm in the same, if not a worse boat?! !?
Begins another road of medication changes and all new resulting side effect.
Increased pulse rate... Most recently 129bpm. This is a resting heart rate!!!!!!
Increased blood pressure
Inability to breath
It gets so exhausting.
I bet you are exhausted just reading this...
We have progressed to a point where I have a cataplexy episode daily. I have an almost constant pain in my gloriously lacking brain on the left side behind my eyebrow. My right leg, behind the knee hurts constantly....sometimes through the entire leg..... I can't sleep when I should sleep and I sleep when I shouldn't. My speech has gone slurred a few times. Basically its been a roller coaster of side effects that will have to become part of life.
