How has IH affected your work and career?

Has it hindered your career growth? Did you choose a career that would feel more IH-friendly? Do you tell your employer about life with IH?

  1. I stopped working in December 2025 as I could no longer stay awake using Modafinil. My autoimmune diseases compound the IH and I have been working with multiple providers in hopes to become functional again.

    1. Other autoimmunine conditions can certainly complicate things, especially since so many of them can also drain you of energy. I hope you find balance soon and that you can return to the workforce again. Thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)
