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

Low grade fevers (10-15 per month)
Subclinical hypothyroidism with normal t3 &t4
Extreme chocolate milk craving (about 40oz a day)

Is anyone currently being treated for narcolepsy for dopamine inducing sleep peptides? If so - do you find them effective?
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!
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.
Don't fight it, go with the flow, and great tips above.
I am currently living with my parents because I can not afford to live on my own. There is no other options for me right now but I just do not know how much longer I can put up with my mom. She never has understood and I don't know if she ever will.
Ask Her if She would be willing to go to the Dr. with You. Maybe he/she can explain the situation.
I was diagnosed in 2015 which was my first and only test; should a patient be tested again after so many years
