Now that I'm pregnant I'll have to come up with another reason to lose consciousness in the middle of a sentence or even when eating a donut. Narcolepsy it is, then.
Cheers to you, narcolepsy. And f&@k off, CPAP machine.

I Have Some Issues
I did an at-home sleep study a few nights ago instead of the dreaded sleep center test (much less invasive and could be equivalent to slamming your hand in a door instead of your whole arm). They called today and said I didn't have sleep apnea anymore. Good news. The bad news is that based on my survey, the doctor suggests I get tested for narcolepsy. Now, I know for a fact that I've never fallen asleep in an upright position. Well, that's not entirely true, but I can say that I've only gone from consciousness to unconsciousness in 2.75 seconds when a great deal of alcohol was involved.

Did they say why???
ReplyDeleteYes, two reasons. I have lost 25 pounds since my last study and I had the UPPP surgery. :) I'm really excited about it, but I will have to watch my weight increase during pregnancy or it's liable to come back.
ReplyDeleteFalling asleep standing up is just the cataplexia part of narcolepsy - not everyone with narcolepsy has that but it is the most well-know since it is the thing people find "funny". Good luck!!!
