I'm not a mouth breather so this taping would not allow me to discontinue cpap therapy. I think I may be the only person who has never had any issue using cpap. The only time I've ever not used it was… read more

Here's the wording from the Luminette 3 website

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.
I don't know - selecting people for my "team" seems playing favorites with people I don't know. That seems weird to me.

I have recently been diagnosed with narcolepsy without cataplexy. I'm on Adderall 30 mg 3x daily. I've noticed if I don't get a good 10-12 hours of sleep, my Adderall won't work as well. I still have severe brain fog, embarrassingly amounts! I have nightmares so realistic I have to go check on my family. My doctor said he doesn't want me on either med typical for narcolepsy as it can cause Steven's Johnson syndrome. What can help with this? Medicine or otherwise. Thank you

Yes BUT this is only true for type 1 narcolepsy. Scientists now believe that type 1 narcolepsy could be autoimmune in origin due to a gene found in 99% of NT1 patients. (for those interested, HLA… read more
Don't fight it, go with the flow, and great tips above.
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.
I hope it goes very well!
