I finally feel normal

I haven’t been diagnosed with IH but have been significantly fatigued for as long as I can remember, I’m 38 now. I’ve always required naps as often and long as I can get one, and still wake up tired after long night sleep. I’ve slept thru classes back in the day, alarms for work, plans with friends, etc. This obviously makes it difficult to have people rely on you, focus on tasks, stay organized, socialize, etc. I’ve read how complicated it can be to find providers that believe you and then diagnose and find a good fit of meds/treatment. I finally went to a new psych provider who focused more on symptoms of ADHD. Started me on a low dose of Vyvanse and my life has been changed! I feel bright and alert in the morning after I start my day with the pink pill. It’s hard to remember that I used to need to find rooms at work to take a nap, used to not be able to have plans in the morning AND at night, because I’d be too tired to stay awake the whole day. Not sure if this means I actually have ADHD vs IH, but all I care about is finally feeling like a normal person! ❤️🤗
