    Smile Finally...Idiopathic Hypersomnia...I can start living again

    Some will know of my excessive daytime sleep issues. Finally after 2 night sleep tests and 1 day sleep test... i was diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia.

    My life has been amazing since. I'm on 20mg dexamphetamine and i can stay awake, be alert all day.

    I am so happy about it. Don't need a day nap anymore!

    Woo-hoo.

    Yay TD! So glad you finally have a name and a solution for what you have known to be an issue for a while now

    Enjoy your extra time in your day now that you're not napping

    You can't even imagine how liberated i feel.

    And a side effect of the meds is weight loss, boo-hoo-hoo (hint sarcasm). i must have lost 2-3kgs i gather, but i'm not weighing myself as weightloss isn't my goal.
