Originally Published 1 year ago — by Daily Mail
Alyssa Davis, a 26-year-old from North Carolina, struggled with debilitating exhaustion for years, only to be dismissed by doctors as lazy and advised to drink coffee. In 2017, she was diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia, a narcolepsy-like condition causing excessive sleepiness. Now in the process of obtaining approval for the first FDA-approved medication for the condition, Davis hopes for a better quality of life after years of misdiagnosis and struggle.
