Unfortunately, i’m very familiar with narcolepsy. And in my experience i tend to react to things differently than people without narcolepsy, such as medications and anesthesia, so i guess it shouldn’t surprise me that I’ve been more tired from this treatment.
I don’t like that i’ve gotten so much more tired that it has taken away everything in my life except for working and sleeping, and I don’t like that i wasn’t warned of that or any other side effect. I have to wonder if that is partly because they aren’t used to working with people who work full time. I would assume that by the time you’re in a position to be desperate enough to seek out TMS that you might not have been able to hold a job long before that point. I know i’ve been on the edge of not being able to many times. So i wonder if the reason they haven’t taken my “dip” as seriously as they should have because most of their other patients aren’t employed and can go home and nap. Because they can, they also might not be reporting their symptoms as it isn’t interrupting their lives and risking their livelihood like it has mine? This is a total guess though.
