I was diagnosed with Dysautonomia this week. Last week I got a diagnosis of

super rare rectal duplication. My hypertension doctor said I had POTS last

year. Other doctors said I had ADHD and some OCD. My former employer complained

that I had " too much attention to detail " Great for art, bad for some jobs.

Here is thing I would love for someone to explain. When I lay down I go

through a period where I am half awake and I am frozen in position. My husband

would sometimes sneak over to try and take the book out of my hand. I would be

awake and will refuse to give up the book claiming I am reading it. To describe

that better, I would wake up and be amazed that I am still holding a newspaper

or book in my hand. Weird.
