Anyone Else Have Hormone Issues Possibly Caused By Narcolepsy?

Holland, MI

I’ve been noticing a slow decline in my health and many are hormone based. I’m seeing an endocrinologist in a couple weeks.

Marcia, that's good news your Adderall is working. None of the generic Adderall is working for me, for almost 3 yrs now. It has had negative impact on my life, but I've got new docs that are listening so... Ne er give up hope right?
I do wish there was a way to file Class Action suit against the drug manufacturers. I know they've changed the formula or the potentcy!

Take care. Talk soon.

Hello, your question is interesting. I too have noticed a decline in my health. I know that I have my two autoimmune issues: narcolepsy 1 and a renal malabsorption issue similar to Gettelman's syndrome. I'm holding out for the third autoimmune syndrome. I'll be thinking about you and the findings. Take care!

Hi, yes my hormones have been causing my health to decline as well. I have Hashimoto’s and premature menopause at the age of 36.
