It was shown years after the h1n1 flu but 1st thought to develop narcolepsy from the vaccine in the UK that people who caught this flu did develop narcolepsy from the virus itself and there is a connection between it and having mononucleosis at some point.

With for the last 5 years I've had all incidents of falling asleep without being wake up. Mostly happens when I'm very stressed out or very angry. I have found myself falling sleep at restaurants ,at my job and at home where nobody can get me to wake up or respond. Is there a thing called stress related narcolepsy? Can some help. I will be going to specialist when I got insurance again. Thanks for your time.

From what I understand about type 2 narcolepsy, interrupted sleep cycles seems to be the central issue. I was prescribed modafinil which gave me the worst headache I have ever experienced and seemed to get more severe with every dose. I completely stopped sleeping and after a week, I stopped taking it. I can't sleep more than a few hours without waking up and I never feel rested. Why wouldn't I be prescribed something that helps me sleep?

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.
