It very well may be though that the narcolepsy is secondary to the lupus and fibromyalgia. Meaning you will have the label "narcolepsy" but indeed it is caused by the lupus and/or fibromyalgia. That is my quick opinion without doing any sort of research.
Hypersomnia is sometimes misdiagnosed as narcolepsy where a person experiences a sudden onset of sleepiness. The causes can be genetic, brain damage or medical disorders such as clinical depression, uremia and fibromyalgia. Sometimes hypersomnia may be other sleep disorders such as narcolepsy, sleep apnea, and restless leg syndrome. Your symptoms may be linked to depression.

I would like to know if doing so many different drugs even street drugs for so long cause pain to were you have fibromyalgia and need to keep taking prescribed drugs for the pain??
You should continue taking prescribed medications until your doctor gives some other instructions. If you are taking stimulant drugs for narcolepsy such as Provigil, it should be discontinued only under the direction of your physician. Generally the doctors ask the patients to discontinue taking the medication approximately five to seven days before the MSLT.
right now im sane as i can be and now everything are in prospective. I have been diagnosed with bipolor, severe anxity, fibromyalgia, narcolepsy. diabeties, and high cholestral. I also suffer from ressless leg syndrome. I take all these meds and i still want more. its not cool. i have been off narcos for a while so all i'm taking is the xyrem which my very loopy almost like i'm drunk when i take it all my cares go away. no anxiety i'm loving.
I am exhausted all the time. I've been diagnosed with chronic fatique/fibromyalgia, but I have a more specific problem other than just being tired. I have this what used to be reoccuring, but is now almost constant feeling of having to close my eyes and go to sleep, like that feeling when you are about to fall asleep and your eyelids are heavy. I can feel a tenseness behind my eyes, like I am working so hard to keep them open. I feel like I always have to close my eyes and try to sleep.

i am not on any medication or drugs. it is kinda of a good feeling if i was sitting around doing nothing. and at the same time it should not be happening. i do have narcolepsy and the reason i add this is because i know this in itself has a lot of symptoms ie cataplexy sleep paralysis.
m sorry your having such a hard time. I too have narcolepsy. I disagree with your doc saying that narcolepsy cannot get worse- no one knows that until they have experienced this disabling disorder.
How long before going back to work did you restart your meds? I wonder if the combo of provigil and ritalin is causing your hbp. I had a hard time while on provigil- It made my bp rise and made my sleep attacks worse.
Did you ever consider acid reflux as the problem behind the mild apnea?
The causes can be genetic, medical disorders such as clinical depression, uremia and fibromyalgia. Sometimes hypersomnia may be due to other sleep disorders such as narcolepsy, sleep apnea, and restless leg syndrome.
You can try melatonin against prescription which helps your sleep cycle to bring it to normal.You should consult a sleep specialist for a complete medical and psychological workup.
Take care and regards.

Just want to help my baby sister...
m also always fatigued, sleepy and low energy, but I keep myself moving and motivated. I have been seeing a sleep specialist who diagnosed me with Narcolepsy (Polysomnograph and MSLT both suggestive of narcolepsy i.e. 4 SOREMs with mean latency of <8 minutes)
About me:
24 years old white male, fair skinned with dark blonde hair, 6''0", 195lbs, in shape and athletic (work out and jog 5-6 days of the week). University educated and work in government policy, 9:00-5:00.
I was diagnosed with narcolepsy approx. 5 yrs. ago. I haven't gone for another sleep study since,
nor has my doctor seem to ever remember that I have narcolepsy. I am his only patient with narcolepsy,
and if I ever end up in his office, it seems like he always forgets that I have narcolepsy. I don't
believe he has a good understanding of this. Any suggestions. I am in the process of trying to switch
my doctor, but in the meanwhile, I have been more tired lately than usual.
ve already been diagnosed with Thyroid Hoshimotos, and on top of that Narcolepsy, the most commonly associated symptom of Narcolepsy is excessive daytime sleepiness, which probably why you been dx with Chronic Fatigue as well, the constant level of fatigue could genuinely account for the cognitive issues you've been experiencing.
I finally went in for a sleep study and was diagnosed with narcolepsy! Narcolepsy is really rare, but at least a sleep study will rule out or confirm narcolepsy, sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, and probably other conditions as well.
Good luck!
I am 46 yrs old I have been Dx with EDD/narcolepsy and following recent sleep studies with central sleep apnoea. I have been on modofanil for 12 yrs . I am now on maximum dose of this and while it makes life semi bearable I have days where I am so tired it is difficult to describe.
I have no idea wht to do next , whether to go back to sleep clinic or go see the neurologist or just soldier on . Seems to be the end result of most interventions anyways.
If this has been ruled out, the excessive daytime sleepiness could be due to other disorders like narcolepsy. Adderall is used to treat narcolepsy. It could also be due to idiopathic hypersomnia. Please check with your doctor to rule out these conditions.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Hey ,1 month back i got disease "Bells Palsy" on right side of my face.I went to doctor they give me antiviral drugs,they didn't tell me any specific reason why it happens(may be due to cold exposure)this reason seems to be possible for me .
they asked me whether i am diabetic or not,They took my MRI brain scan test,but they didn't found anything.
Now it is completely gone within 2 weeks.
Hi, welcome to the forum. Your history is suggestive of narcolepsy. In this condition there will be excessive daytime sleepiness. In this condition there will be “automatic behavior" such as driving past a highway exit or writing off a page, with no memory of the previous few minutes. Classical narcolepsy constitutes of Hypnagogic hallucinations, Sleep paralysis and Cataplexy (emotionally triggered muscle paralysis resulting in partial or complete collapse).
Hello,
Causes of excessive sleepiness are sleep-wake cycle disorder like in night shifts, sleep apnea and other sleep-related breathing disorders, psychiatric disorders like depression and schizophrenia,diabetes,obesity,restless leg syndrome,use of drugs or alcohol and narcolepsy(Abnormal sleep disorder leading to excessive daytime drowsiness).
You should consult a sleep specialist and get all these causes ruled out.
