At What Age Were You Diagnosed With Narcolepsy?

    1. I hope you find something soon that is effective with few or (better yet) no side effects. I am sure you have seen this article about treatments already, but I'll share it here just in case: https://narcolepsy.sleep-disorders.net/treatments. - Lori (Team Member)


    2. Thanks so much. I appreciate it. 🫶🏾

    1. That is so young, . If you don't mind me asking, how did you get doctors to take you seriously at that age? Many people struggle with medical gaslighting when they have sleep issues as children or teens. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)

      1. thank you. I need to write again now that I’m feeling better. I was so tired and stressed!

      2. Hi . I am glad you are feeling better and I look forward to reading more of your articles. I am a writer as well. I have a horrible time writing when I am sleepy. I can't imagine trying to be creative with narcolepsy, especially when it's at its worst. - Lori (Team Member)
