    • Close Narcolepsy

      I was diagnosed with nacolepsy and cataplexy 20 years agos a teenager. Although I was initally given meds to treat the c, i stopped taking this during pregnancy and have managed for the last 16 years with regular naps. Recently had to give up full time work and start meds again as the narcalepsy and taken over. Looking to meet people who understand how exhausted I feel as although my hubby is very understanding I often feel guilty for feeling so tired and napping.

      Treatments

      Provigil Working / Worked
      Only started taking Provigil 3 weeks ago. Suffered headaches. Although I am managing to stay awake during day time for up to 3 days at a time I still feel tired. Every 4th day I feel like I cant function...my head feels fuzzy, I cant think and mix my words up, I forget to do simple tasks and I just have to sleep...not very good when I have a 4 year old child running around.
