    • About Me

      I have decided to turn my thoughts into a blog. If you are interested feel free to read, comment, and or share. I am 52 years old, and I live in Cajun Country-Lafayette La. I have been happily married for 22 years, have 3 grown children, 2 grandchildren, 3 dogs and a cat. I was diagnosed in Nov. 2008. I have some more medical problems, but they do not confuse me as much as N does

    • Close Narcolepsy

      Recently diagnosed with Narcolepsy, EDS, chronic insommina, and sleep disturbance disorder, which I have no idea what that is. I need friends to support me, understand me, and give advice. Update, I have found this site to be a valuable part of my life, the people here are the best.

      Treatments

      Adderall Working / Worked
      Taking 25mgXR in am, and 15mg XR at noon
      Dexedrine Not Working
      Did not like the ups and downs
      Provigil Not Working
      I tried this med. for 7 days (GP gave me samples) I have severe miagrains which I have fought with most of my life already, severe backache, and my ulcers kicked up. My insurance denied the medication anyway so I guess it was a good thing it didn't work out for me.
      Xyrem Working / Worked
      Except for a few side effects, Xyrem is working great for sleeping, but haven't felt that refreshed feeling yet.
