Does anyone here know of any assistance available to get the narcoleptic diagnosis? I have it, there's no doubt, and truthfully I've had it since I was a baby. But it's getting to the point where I could very easily kill myself in the car or with the sleepwalking, the blackouts and the microsleeps. There are other times when it has created extremely dangerous situations that have to do with the sleep paralysis.

I'm 31 years old, have had this my whole life, but was always told that I was just a depressed, moody child. My mother took me into the doctors office at 6 months because I was sleeping excessively and the doctors told her I was depressed at 6 months old. This is getting to critical mass and I'm afraid if I don't get some medical help I'm going to end up getting myself killed.

I'd also like to have the possibility of one day being a long term, productive member of society. As of yet, that hasn't really been able to happen. I feel like I'm going half crazy with fatigue. But I can't afford the doctor without a job, and I can't really hold down a job long enough to get a diagnosis and treatment without a doctor.

Anybody know of any solutions?
