I have a 11 yr old who has narcolepsy and epilepsy. durring the summer we go and have 3 or 4 attacks a week. well when school starts the attacks go to 3 or 4 a day. She takes 2 naps at school, but the wake her up from them. any advice??

I have also notice that is she dont eay meals and snacks she has spells. does this affect it?

She can go from being a bouncing off the wall 11 yr old, to a 11 yr having to be pushed in a wheel chair. because she is so weak.

I have researched, asked, and the drs are trying to adjust meds. now. does anyone know anything that can help us, be half way normal???

I’m suffering from chronic insomnia and feel extremely tired during the day and a lack of energy. It has been like this for me for many years now and has taken a huge toll on my career and private life. I’m currently in a relationship I care very much about, but it seems to break apart as well. I have already tried all kinds of prescription medications for sleep, but do not want to take them anymore. Is there may be a herbal supplement or another method that could help?

I have insomnia most work nights, only getting 5-6 hours. I catch up on my sleep on the weekends. Is this healthy?

For the longest time my step father was convinced that he didn’t snore. This video clearly proved him wrong.
Not to mention his other problem…

FYI people he doesn’t have it anymore. So please stop freaking out. And yes he didn’t belive he snored at all until he saw this video.

In the book and ***** Fight Club, the main character develops a split personality seemingly because of his insomnia. Is this a realistic effect of insomnia? Have there been any documented cases? Please supply documentation, if possible.

Sleep apnea is a condition that causes a person to stop breathing for short periods of time during their sleep. The most effective way to treat this condition is with continuous positive airway pressure, also known as CPAP.

Louisa asked:


I’ve had mild narcolepsy and cataplexy. I manage it w/o drugs, mostly, with naps and sometimes a good night’s sleep. In the beginning I took some antidepressants against the cataplexy and a stimulant against the daytime sleepiness, but quit when I started having babies. Now, three years later, I’m finished nursing my children and will look into something to help the daytime sleepiness in the afternoons (driving, etc.)

What’s out there now for cataplexy. I hated taking antidepressants and would rather not start them again. Any advice?

Sarina
I have heard about Xyrem. Any experience with that or other drugs from those who know about narcolepsy and have experience with the current drugs would be much appreciated.
