Good news, the medication I started for my #Narcolepsy is helping a lot! I feel more awake and energized than I’ve felt in the past ten years! :) And I just like, have the energy to do tasks, which is really nice.
Bad news, my #ADHD is so much worse now lmao. I am getting distracted way more easily, and I’ve been really frustrating in serious conversations because of that. So I’m gonna try to figure out what to do about that, but hey, at least this is progress?
It was just our neighbour singing btw. Nothing supernatural, and I haven't lost my marbles yet.
Also hallucinations upon falling asleep and waking up are normal with both #IdiopathicHypersomnia and #Narcolepsy (type 1 and 2). It is not in IH criteria, but many of us have them anyway.
I have strong ones when I am extra stressed, and before my IH diagnosis I did often think I was losing my mind. Un-sleep disordered people should not have any hallucinations, or very rarely have them.
