About Me
I am a 35 year old mother of 2.I am on disability (SSI) because I have narcolepsy and cataplexy. Now MS too. I spend alot of time with my kids. I don't have many friends.The past 8 years of my life have been very difficult. I have my family to lean on when I need to, but I am really alone. I love life though. No matter what you will always see a smile on my face. I live to laugh & laugh to live. Learn something everyday & that day is not wasted. Think positive & always smile. That's how I survive.

Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
I found out yesterday that I have MS. I haven't had my spinal tap yet though. I have suffered my current symptoms for over 10 years and nobody ever said MS. On average I have suffered about 7 to 8 "episodes" a year for the past 3 years. Now I have optic neuritis that is getting worse not better. I try to stay positive but this is all new to me. I already have a neurological disorder that I have to deal with. Dr. says I one in a million, very rare. I don't feel special,I feel alone.
Close Narcolepsy
I am a single mother of two living with multiple health problems. In 1997, my doctor told me he thought I had narcolepsy. A couple of Neuro's and a sleep study later it was confirmed, I have Narcolepsy and told that my falling down was a condition called Cataplexy. I ended up having to file for disability because I build up a resistance to my meds and after a month or two Ihave to switch meds. When I am taking something that works, I still fall asleep when watching tv and stuff.
Treatments
- Adderall Working / Worked
- RIGHT NOW I AM ON 30MG'S 2X A DAY. IT IS STILL WORKING RIGHT NOW. IN THE PAST I HAVE BEEN ON ADDERALL XR(STOPED WORKING IN 1 MONTH)
- Provigil Not Working
- IT DIDN'T HELP WITH THE NARCOLEPSY, BUT I WAS MORE FOCUSED. I ACTUALLY COULD FINISH A CROSSWORD PUZZLE WITHOUT HAVING TO LOOK SOMETHING UP. MY MEMORY WAS MUCH BETTER.
- Ritalin Working / Worked
- LIKE THE ADDERALL,IT WORKS FOR A WHILE THEN I HAVE TO SWITCH MEDS. THE DR HAD ME TAKING 15MG EVERY 6 HRS WHEN I WAS WORKING. TOOK THEM FROM ME BEFORE THEY KILLED ME.
- Dexedrine Working / Worked
- SAME AS THE OTHERS. WORKED FOR A WHILE THEN WOULD HAVE TO SWITCH.
- Xyrem Not Working
- My dosage increased 3 times and they took it from me. I would take it before bed and would still be awake a couple of hours later. just caused me to have a headache.
- Phentermine Working / Worked
- Not sure of the spelling, but when I got use to the ritalin the doctor switched me to these. Same as the others. Worked for about a month. It is technically a diet pill.
