Reply | Forward Message #2275 of 2876 |
HI.....Just signed up for this group....doesn't look like there has
been much activity lately...everyone sleeping??....well anyway, I am
31 years old diagnosed with narcolepsy in 1992. suffer from every side
effect due to narcolepsy and just recently found out i have sleep apnea
as well. I have a full time job, house , a 3 year old son and absolutly
NO energy to cope with these things. My last episode of sleep
paralysis ivolved me not being able to wake myself knowing i had to be
awake to watch my son......I eventually was able to tell him to pour
water on my face which brought me around. Nothing seems to be
working.....CPAP machine, 300 ritalin a month, and gen-chloriprimide(or
something like that) My workplace recently stripped me of 2 titles,
1.25 an hour and i am so unhappy with things lately i just thought if I
signed up for this chat.........just maybe I'd feel better knowing I am
not the only one suffering. Please somebdy share your story with me
so I don't feel like there is no hope.............Thanks....AMI
