Do I have this or not?

I am being treated for narcolepsy with a antidepressant with a stimulant. I have sleep apnea and am developing narcolepsy symptoms, like brain fog, sleep attacks, EDS, fragmented sleep, and a heavy headed feeling. This all started after having Covid, a year afterwards. I unfortunately am a long hauler, so this is challenging to diagnose correctly.
Do you have any others in your community that are dealing with this post Covid- possible narcolepsy?

  1. I'm sorry to hear that you've been dealing with this. Just to make sure I understand- Did you get diagnosed with narcolepsy/sleep apnea?
    There was a friend of mine in the narcolepsy community who had type 1 narcolepsy, got covid in 2020, then developed worsening narcolepsy symptoms. She had long-covid and dealt with covid symptoms for several months. Personally, I've somehow avoided getting covid so I can't really say one way or the other if covid actually causes worsening narcolepsy symptoms. Either way, hopefully you can find a doctor who can help you out! Best of luck!
    Xoxo/Zzz, Gabrielle
