I was on prednisone for 3 months last year and it's the only time I've felt normal energy, but it stopped working and cannot be taken longterm so I was just curious if anyone has seen improvements while on prednisone for other conditions. It would make sense if narcolepsy is an autoimmune disease.

I have a teenager with narcolepsy who is really struggling. He has had averse reactions to medications and has a hopeless attitude. I can see how much he is struggling and suffering. When I try to help him and make suggestions, he gets angry with me and frustrated. He has a lot of supports in place but he is in the worst place right now. How do I support him and support myself at the same time? It is so hard to be a mother and feel this helpless.
It sounds like he is suffering from depression also. That needs to addressed so he can feel better. Depression makes you tired during the day also complicating narcolepsy.
