The Official Patient's Sourcebook on Narcolepsy
This book has been created for patients who have decided to make education and research an integral part of the treatment process. Although it also gives information useful to doctors, caregivers and other health professionals, it tells patients where and how to look for information covering virtually all topics related to narcolepsy (also Gelineau’s Syndrome; narcoleptic syndrome; paroxysmal sleep; sleep epilepsy), from the essentials to the most advanced areas of research. The title of this book includes the word official. This reflects the fact that the sourcebook draws from public, academic, government, and peer-reviewed research. Selected readings from various agencies are reproduced to give you some of the latest official information available to date on narcolepsy. Given patients’ increasing sophistication in using the Internet, abundant references to reliable Internet-based resources are provided throughout this sourcebook. Where possible, guidance is provided on how to obtain free-of-charge, primary research results as well as more detailed information via the Internet.

Is a regular blood test good enough to see if you have Narcolepsy or thyroid problem.?

Monday, September 28th, 2009

When I was younger I use to sleep through out the night, but with talking, screaming, sleep walking on average. Now I have problems going to sleep and waking up several times per night. I can easily stay in bed 12 hours straight and still feel sleepy thought my day. I’ve gone to my doctor and had a blood test, but he says nothing wrong. Is a regular blood test good enough to see if you have Narcolepsy or thyroid problem.

no a regular blood test can test for thyroid, however it cannot test for narcolepsy. even if it was, you could also have hypersomnia (it’s like narcolepsy, but you don’t have any other symptom, but day time sleepiness) you should have a sleep study done. a night time one to check for things like sleep apnea and how much REM you are getting and a day time one (known as a sleep latency test) to test for narcolepsy and hypersomnia

Does anyone have Narcolepsy and an autoimmune disease?

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

I’ve read that it’s believed Narcolepsy might be an autoimmune disease. I can’t find much new information on it, but wondered if there was anyone out there that had narcolepsy and an autoimmune disease?
I have narcolepsy without cataplexy and have developed a connective tissue disease so I’m looking for others with a possible link, or at least other information to see how likely they are related. I saw information about the relation prior to my autoimmune disease diagnosis (MCTD). Just looking into it more. Thanks for the information and sharing your conditions with me!

Yeah, I’ve got narcolepsy and an immunoglobulin deficiency (IgG).

Living with Narcolepsy

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

Damien is a 21 year old narcoleptic who lives in York with his parents, who run an old fashioned guest house. His unusual condition has had a devastating impact on all of their lives. He often finds many of the things that we take for granted a real struggle: paying attention, learning, getting and keeping a job, communicating, sleeping (ironically).
