My current facility is Raleigh Neurolgy in Cary. I'd been seeing Dr. Perkins since diagnosed in 2008. He left the facility in Apr. 2024. They reassigned me to another physician, however my May appointment was canceled. Rescheduled to July. Canceled. Rescheduled to Oct. Canceled. Reschedule date is now Apr. 2025. At this point it's been a full year since I have been seen, and I'm SOOOOOOOOO over this madness. Referrals are appreciated.

New Jersey, NJ

Im a young man in my 20’s and I'm married I don’t have any yet. Id like some my wife says she definitely wants some but i worry so much about my narcolepsy and how it would limit my ability to take care of them. I wouldnt want to hinder her or my children. Especially financially or just securing their safety. I don't want to put all the responsibility on my wife because my narcolepsy makes my reliability inconsistent. Any response or tips is helpful.
