Did Anyone Have Surgery Or A Bad Virus Before Learning They Had Narco. ?
This has no connection to Covid unless someone else has their personal experience relating to it.
I was 10? Bad tonsils (something else)? They removed them and I got so sick I had to return to hospital. After lots of tests everyone was freaked out because somehow I had Epstein Barr (Mono - the kissing thing)🤮. Every person that knew me said, “that’s impossible.”
I didn’t eat or drink after anyone and didn’t even like my food touching on my plate (still dont). Plus at 10 I wasn’t having… read more

Is It Normal To Lose Body Control After A Narcolepsy Episode?
The other day I had fallen asleep because I had forgotten to take my medicine. When I woke up I stood then took a step and my whole body crumpled beneath me. I couldn't even reach out my arms to stop the fall. This has never happened to me before but I also have never gotten right up after an episode. Normally I gather myself together mentally and then move. So I didn't know if this was something I should worry about.
I have a drop in BP the neurologist & my Dr's tell me it's not cataplexy. I have had those spells going on 10-12 yrs.they were few & far between until the last 3-4 yrs often I can catch myself & sit… read more
How Do You Ensure You Get Your Medicine On Time Each Month? (CVS Caremark)
Three months in a row I have struggled to get my Nuvigil 200mg (60 count) rx. CVS always has it on backorder, and now my new pharmacy took 5 days to get my meds. I work full time, so I make a lot of mistakes when I am unmedicated.
Anyone with CVS caremark? What is a less stressful way to get your meds on time?
Idk if it's my state... PA only allows 2 days before the rx is out, and no auto refills. I can't keep going through this, and I know I'm not alone. :(

I am considering asking my doctor if/when possible I may try this medication. First wanted to find out how it has worked for anyone who has tried it.?.
I wont try it. The warnings alone scared the crap out of me.
(edited) Has Anyone Tried Light Therapy Glasses?
I'm going to purchase luminette 3 glasses to help with my EDS. (Edit: I removed "blue" from my question since I noticed I may have misnamed them.)
Here's the wording from the Luminette 3 website

Anyone Else Having Issues With The Adderall Shortage? Anyone Else Noticing A Difference With The Different Brands And Manufacturers?
Omg! Yes! Last month I got mine from Walmart because nowhere in over 109 miles had it and it was like I was taking nothing !
Has Anyone Else Heard About This?
Looks like a new, timed-release version of Xyrem/Xywav might be available soon that will eliminate having to wake up and take a second dose.

Does Anyone Nap At Work?
I currently live close enough to work that I can come home to nap if needed (1-3 times daily), but will be moving soon and will live over 1 hour from the office. Has anyone worked out a sleeping arrangement in the office? If so, what did your setup look like?
I can if needed. I work at a daycare, and I only get 30 minutes for lunch, but one of my managers will come in and cover for me if I’m really struggling or feel like I need a longer break. I usually… read more
