Because I need to take a nap every other day, I can only work part-time in the afternoons. My family finds it to be effective, although having energy and being awake would be excellent. I really didn't want to take the medications they gave me to stay awake. Did the meds help you? How to manage?

Hi @Verycansada

How are you doing today?

It is always challenging when your condition puts your body on a different rhythm from the rest of the world. It is great that your family is supportive. Let me tag a few other Carenity members who may be able to share some of their experiences and can possibly give you some tips for making it through the day.

@mthreep12 @Coolboy2 @Rebel1155!, @kellyg3719 @jannie45 @asja420 @Nancylavonne1 @JohnSS @anthony25home @Susan55 @teatea @jqlyons @julia790 @Amostayar @Suebut @ggudanowski @NoFilter62 @Momov3burros @Ronman613 @KarenF @Full1234 @Hooper08 @Divegal56 @nu2rasln @Nisey69 @Lorikat81 @CharlotteB @Tilly77 @dsjones @Poppijack

Do you take medication to stay awake? How do you power through the day while fatigued and tired? Do you have any tips to share with @Verycansada ?

Let's share!

Take care,

Lizzi from the Carenity team

HELLO EVERYONE, I have not been feeling so good lately. I have no energy and I am in bed 80% of the time. I look at dish tv and enjoy my movies. It usually gets my mind off the pain. I can not sit for long periods of time. I do my best and I have not seen my son for 3 years. He is due to come here with his 3 children(never met) little people under the age of 7yrs. I am looking forward to be with them. I never thought, I would be someone's grandmother. Pray for me and keep me posted on current events.

Always Michele aka Mickey

Your story is so touching. I understand this is your reality and it breaks my heart to know that other people are going through such trauma. I truly hope your family visit it's wonderful. May peace and the Force be with you.

I haven't been offered medication to help with staying awake as of yet. However, in my current situation, I probably sleep 16-20 hours out of a 24-hour period. I am, and have been, in a constant state of flare since before Christmas. I have been unable to work for over a year now.

I have lots of exhaustion and sleepiness too. It took me a bit and some healing to be able to tell the difference between sleepy and exhausted. My circadian rhythms are totally messed up and I can not fix it. So I am up all night and sleep most of the day, but the exact hours vary from day to day because one day I will sleep 12 hours and the next only 6. I miss the sun! I can no longer work full time either. I can barely work part-time, and I never quite know when I will be awake. It's driving me nuts.

I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea in 2019. Last October (2023) I was diagnosed as having Narcolepsy. Also the the sleepiness and fatigue are a result of my sleep apnea. I was put on Narcolepsy medication and it has helped wonders. I take it with my breakfast and it really helps. There are times I need to take a nap but it is not as frequent anymore.
