I officially have Narcolepsy with Cataplexy. I also, as of next Friday, have no job because they’re getting rid of my department and restructuring at work. It’s been a bit of a week. I will write up the doctor’s appointment, my test results, and quite a bit more on this subject, but I know there are some people who just want to know the answer. I also may try to put together a Patreon like Miri has done, now that I am going to be unemployed with these fancy new medical bills, so I guess keep an eye out for that. Yay America.
Congrats to the 23 people who guessed I had Narcolepsy, you win!

Congratulations are in order, I think? For me, at least, a diagnosis is a preferable state. YMMV.
I was going to point out that termination of employment is an exception to the open enrollment period for PPACA exchanges, but then I noticed you’re in South Carolina, which has rejected the Medicaid expansion. Yay America. :
Ashley, your diagnosis sucks. But at least you have some answers. Good luck, feel well if you can, hugs if you want them.
