This may come strange to most, i got chronically ill 18 years ago and had a lot of different sleep disorders in this time.
Last week i described to someone what a "MEcfs" crash feels like to me, a part of it is lying in my bed without to be able to move, i can open my eyes though.
I said it feels like a sedation, when you are almost awake, with open eyes, but still not able to move. I told my urologist before, because this happens really often and i can't hold it in this moment, but i am fully aware of it, mostly this is during daytime, very rare during the night.
The person i talked to said this sounds like "Sleep Paralysis", a term i never heard before. I looked it up and i thought: "Damn".
Does this happen to others here as well?
Against usual assumptions this situation does not freaks me out at all, it is just a part of my illness i accepted a long time ago, much longer than i am incontinent.
Usually i will wake up with a strong urge and be unable to move, it does not take long and i will wet the bed / diaper, some time (minutes) later i can just get up. I am not sure i shall call this an "accident" because i am aware i need to go but i simply can't.
