Narcolepsy is not a fun party trick. I'm starting to take my medication again today, because I could be very close to losing my driver's liscence. Not a good thing. I barely remember last night and I had to have someone come and get me and my car. I haven't been taking my medicine regularly and scared the shit out of loved ones last night with a simple trip to Blockbuster. I barely remember the event, but apparently the Blockbuster people were about to call an ambulance. I thought I took my ritalin, but took something else that made me even sleepier and I was apparently shaking and appeared drunk. I will be going to see a doctor soon about it because I have bad bruises and it is getting worse than it has been in the past years. I don't want to be even more homebound than I've already made myself. Maybe I should talk to some people that have it as well, support group.... Because I always try to hide it and it isn't working anymore.
Anyway, I miss being social and I want to go back to school and Narcolepsy is hindering both of these things. It isn't necessarily scheduled all the time but seems to be somewhat. Grounding myself from the car makes me feel trapped and I want to know if perhaps I'm not being treated properly and something can be done to fix this. My tell-tell signs aren't as noticeable as they used to be either.
