im having a hard time wording this but like

i feel like a thing making this much harder is that the thing that made me suspect it was narcolepsy and not vitamin deficiency was because of the relations between sleep problems (narcolepsy) and my weird strokes i get weirdly more and more frequently as time passes (catplexy), but its parallels that you cant really draw unless you in theory knew what both of those diagnoses are, so i cant prove i have narcolepsy without using the word narcolepsy or cataplexy without seeming very suspicious, i think the doctor would understand where i was going with it

(i cant bring up my sleep issues and my weird brain seizures in one session because they arent related, and i wouldntve known they were related if i hadnt looked it up, curse my curiousity

goddamn why does this have to be so haaard, like i very obviously have practically all of the symptoms i just cant prove it

imagine it from a doctor's point of view. and someone comes & tells you they have an illness they read somewhere online. i'm not saying you don't have it i just think it would look suspicious. and what if it was another sleep illness that's not narcolepsy ? that's why it's important to explain the details bc docotrs know other things that would confirm the diagnosis
