When you go into labor and have to fill out papers, do you right your babies name or tell them?
Look up symptoms of Narcolepsy. Sounds wierd, but it is very hard to diagnose, and that is one of the major symptoms of it. It usually (but not always!) shows up between ages 10-25. Symptoms include-
Cataplexy (loss of muscle control): People with narcolepsy often have a sudden loss of muscle control while awake, usually triggered by strong emotions, such as laughing.
Well testthe kind of sleep you are in while you sleep can test for Narcopelsy how long has this been a problem? I have been diagnosed my self with narcolepsy. Can fall asleep any where anytime!
Dear Doctor, I posted previously that I suspected I have UARS and my sleep study showed AHI of 5.2 with an arousal index of 32.3/hr (unexplained arousals). I also have excessive daytime sleepiness. The sleep doctor and my primary had both said my sleep study was "normal" despite the high arousal index and prolonged sleep latency [67 min) and prolonged REM latency (216 min).
This is known as narcolepsy, there are treatments for it, so perhaps you can do some research on that topic and see if it matches up with you, and also the info sites will tell you the kind of doctor who is best equipped to help you with this. Sorry I don't know much more than that.
I am going through my first cycle of IVF, and my partner and I would like to donate any "extra" embryos for stem cell research. Does anyone know who we donate them too? I can't find any info online. All I can find is embryo donation for people looking to have a baby, and though I find that a very nice thought, we are not comfortable with the idea that our child will have siblings out there that we don't know. Any info would be great. Thanks!
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.
Narcolepsy is a CNS disorder and is thought to also be caused by an autoimmune disorder.
Causes: current thinking is that a group of cells in the brain responsible for sleep-wake behavior is damaged or absent. (gosh do you think the MS lesions might also damage this area for people unlucky to have both!)
Tests: The spinal fluid of most patients with narcolepsy shows the neuroprotein lacking or deficient. The neuroprotein is "hypocretin".
Unfortunately the only way you can change you facial muscles in excercise, that took me years to figure out!! There seems to be little research into bells palsy as no one seems to know the cause. Did you have an epidural? If yes I think you may not have 'bells palsy' but damage to the nerves caused by medical negligence. I have researched this for 11 years and although only a lay man with no medical training I believe you need to demand some answers.
there is a woman that has visual lasting effects and has spoken publicly....here is a link to some of her info I am sure with more research u can find more info regarding her and the condition. http://en.wikipedia.
s done a 1000 sleep latency tests and never had anyone fall asleep during all 5 nap times, fall asleep so quickly and dream too. She mentioned narcolepsy and hypersomnilance. Sometimes I Amos tired in the morning that I can't open my eyes or move. What is going on? I'm very frightened. And, I just got diagnosed 2 days ago with bad laryngopharyngeal reflux. Any thoughts are appreciated.
I've never really heard much about mycoplasma infections. (And I'm a nurse.)
I just saw a rheumatologist a couple months ago who made the comment to me "all these things could go together." It was the first time I'd heard a doctor actually say that though that's been my thinking all along. It would seem to me that certainly sleeping issues would go along with lupus and fibromyalgia!
Narcolepsy! i am a 28 year old male who literally just started having the exact symptoms you described about 8 months ago. After several test and doctors visits i was diagnosed with sever narcolepsy, with catalepsy. Its common for the symptoms to come on suddenly between the ages of 15-30. I encourage you to research narcolepsy and if it has the ring of truth go see a neurologist.
She needs a true chiari specialist to help guide her,....we do have a list of the members Drs for her to use to research to find the Dr just right for her.
Also she needs to educate herself as to what the Drs should be doing for her so she knows a good Dr when she meets them...there r related conditions to chiari and they will need to be ruled out.
The bells palsy may be something related to her chiari I have heard of someone else that did have it with chiari as well.
I was diagnosed with Bells Palsy in 2000, and given the same prescription, but with a lot of research and asked the doctor if it could be trigenimal neuralgia. Turns out I did. However, in 2010, I had what seemed like a stroke, but found out this Monday was MS. I had a second seizure and lost sight in my left eye. No bueno. Don't ever settle for what they tell you. You need to always search and ask questions.

My sister in law as I said takes medication that allows her to be functional during the day and go to work and drive and all of that important stuff.
I am diagnosis with narcolepsy and have had symptoms for 5 years now. I have been taking 500 mg. of nuvigil for over 2 years. Plus, 60 mg of adderall a day. My symptoms have slowed down a little, but I have to take 2 naps a day and not drive anywhere. I have sleep studies twice a year and it seems to get worse each time. Its very aggravating to me! It seems like something would help. I see a team of specialists at Vanderbilt, but I need something else, but what? Anyone have any suggestions?
I have Narcolepsy- My vitamin B 12 level is 235- should it be higher for my condition?
