    • About Me

      Gold medal winner of the sleep Olympics. I can sleep for my country and have been in training for the last 23yrs. If you could study or do productive things whilst asleep I'd be the hardest working guy in the world. No seriously... It's pretty much a guarantee that you're going to find me on a downer most days. I'm a miserable S.O.B. to be honest. I do have a good (dark) sense of humour...no really...I do. What else is there, if you can't laugh at yourself you'd cry. I'm also very compassionate and I really feel for others with problems. I try and be upbeat and think how privileged I am to live in a non-third-world country and that I'm lucky to not have a really severe disability....It doesn't cut it though....I'm pissed that everything in my life is such a struggle. I'm looking to share experiences with people who are contributors within the narcolepsy group only. Please don't be offended if I don't accept your request it's nothing personal. I'm only able to keep up with a handful of people.

      Not much these days...I really like music, movies, decent TV shows, looking at the ocean out of my window.

      Thank you for the welcoming comment. I can be pretty miserable myself when I am sleep deprived past my normal. Other than that I try to be upbeat. I hear you on being pissed at the world for everything being a struggle. Take care and maybe we will chat again sometime.

      Had narcolepsy, cataplexy, sleep disorders for 23 yrs.

      Treatments

      Dexedrine Somewhat Helpful
      Gives me about a two hour window of being semi alert.
      Edronax Working / Worked
      Reduces cataplexy by about 50%, has some rather unpleasant side effects
      Provigil Somewhat Helpful
      Don't take it anymore, made me feel very odd
