@impulse.creatives: just a small snapshot abt what it’s like living with type 1 narcolepsy with cataplexy. Thankfully, these periods of sleepiness and weakness have dramatically decreased since being on meds and knowing my triggers. Heat, potatoes (yay nightshades), and intense emotions can cause me to become cataplectic. I usually experience either drooping on the left side of my face or what I refer to as “dinosaur arms.” Thankfully, I am cleared to work. However, if I am not medicated for the day (if my meds are out of stock or doing a sleep test), you will definitely not find me at work and I’ll be sleeping at home! I’ve only needed to be off work for my NT1 for a sleep study as I wasn’t allowed to take my meds for two weeks… and my managers were literally angels abt it. #narcolepsy #fyp #fypシ #fypシ゚viral #chronicillness

honestly, it’s Jess ✨
