Hi all! I am 28 and graduated from college in 2020. Last year I tried studying for the LSAT and got a 149, took it again a few months later and got a 150. Starting around 19 (freshman year of college) I began to experience intense fatigue and other strange symptoms. I assumed it was just stress. I did horribly my first semester of college and then was able to sort of manage better. I graduated with a 3.58 GPA. Fast forward to now. For the last almost decade these symptoms never went away but I also was not really taken seriously when I brought them up to my doctors. Finally, a few months ago I had a sleep study done. I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy. This explained so much about the past decade. Falling asleep in class, while studying, while working, etc. Now that I have been on medication my average PT is around 160 and I can actually stay awake while studying. I am hoping to score higher though since I am taking the November exam. Is this something I should write an Addendum for? It isn't an "excuse" but it explains so much of why the past decade has been such a struggle.

I would write an addendum. I don't think it would hurt could, be a overcoming the obstacles essay.
In my opinion, this is a pretty slam dunk thing to explain on the Addenda! This could be something to note not only for your undergrad work, but also for your LSAT history (presuming your score goes up).
