I don't think I realized how much taking my adhd meds (vyvanse 20mg) was helping me wake up less in the middle of the night. I've been counting how many times I can remember waking up, and I'm averaging 10+ times.

I didn't think I could get any more sleepy. Boy was I wrong. I've had to miss so many classes in college recently because its gone from near impossible to fight off sleep, to literally impossible.

I have an important event today that I don't want to miss, and my last class for the semester for a specific course and I am worried based on how this night's sleep is going I won't be able to attend.

I know this all ends after this Tuesday once my MSLT is done. The finish line is near. But dear god it is so much harder than I anticipated.

People who have been here before, gotten through the withdrawal symptoms and then had to push through the ever worsening sleepiness-- tell me I can do it 😭🙏. Give me any tips and tricks that worked when you were under a week away from your tests.

Went to see the derm, she agreed I have the plaques and took a biopsy so I should know sometime next week if I confirmed have LS.

What shocked me was she informed me I already have some atrophy and I also have vitiligo in that region. For context, I'm 18 and not sexually active so I tend not to observe that area very frequently haha.

I have a few questions:

1. How soon after starting treatment did itching begin to improve?

2. Did the atrophy/lack of elasticity ever improve/go away after treatment?

3. Does anyone else have vitiligo there, and if so has it ever gone away?

Thanks y'all
