Yup..
Talked to the sleep doctor yesterday. He diagnosed me with Narcolepsy. Think it is still kinda sinking in, but overall I'm feeling okay about it. Not like anything is different. I'm just tired all the time and now I know why.
He did prescribe a drug that is a stimulant. I am still deciding how I feel about it. I don't want to be on a regiment of pills. It might help perk me up during the day though. Definitely do not to deal with anything that has a risk of dependency. I also don't want to have to take a pill that offsets another pills side effects. According to the doctor though, this drug doesn't really have many side effects.
Thinking about going to see my PCP and get his opinion. A friend had mentioned I should probably have my heart checked out before I start taking a stimulant.
I need to make some lifestyle changes as well. I am going to ride out the rest of this month, and then I think January I am going to start doing Weight Watchers with my folks. Also going to work on working out every day and lifting weights again. I was in such good shape for a while. I'd really like to get back to that point again.
I also need to stop smoking. That's going to be the hardest one.
Oh well. Lots of stuff on my mind, sleep being one of them.
