    An ominous and thrilling announcement

    It's apparent I like adverb-comedy, but my first writing love has always been something a bit different: the murder mystery. Hell, here's an absolutely true fact about me: I partly learned to read with this delightful book one of my older siblings had lying around. (This may start to explain other things about me, too, come to think of it...)

    So apparently I have narcolepsy

    Seriously. I was just diagnosed with narcolepsy, like a couple of hours ago. This might explain my difficulties updating Femmefiction in anything resembling a timely manner (or, well, doing anything at all in my free time).

So apparently I have narcolepsy · 7:49pm May 1st, 2021

Seriously. I was just diagnosed with narcolepsy, like a couple of hours ago. This might explain my difficulties updating Femmefiction in anything resembling a timely manner (or, well, doing anything at all in my free time).

So hopefully we'll be rounding a corner on that with the last 3 chapters. Assuming I take well to the standard treatment, which is... huh, a terrifying knock-out drug that makes you wet the bed, okay then.

Oof. Here's hoping the treatment helps.

Thanks!!

My tone in the blog is facetious, but this is extremely good news. Not everyone tolerates the drug, and not everyone is helped by the drug, but my doctor swears by it, and plenty of narcolepsy patients say it's life-changing.

The moral of the story is unfortunately an extremely unhelpful one: "It's really great to have a good doctor who's an expert in what you're suffering from and who takes you seriously!" Which. Yeah.

uh

wow o.o at least getting diagnosed means you can get treatment!

"Femmefiction" I can't decide if it's funnier that you were using voice to text or you just decided to spell it like this

No, that's what the story is called.

Part of the joke is an inside thing, because the ony vestige of my southernness is my inability to distinguish the vowel sounds of fim and femme from one another.

oh lol. best of luck updating!

Wow. Glad you got the diagnosis. (It's always great to have disorders you can't see on the surface for when doctors are assholes and won't believe you, having several of those myself now.)

I'm glad you were able to find a competent doctor that took you seriously and properly diagnosed you. That is difficult to find. My hope that the treatment works goes with you.

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that, though at least you know now. Good luck with the treatment!

Best of luck! Hope the treatment suits you, and works well.
