At What Age Were You Diagnosed With Narcolepsy?

  1. 21. I was diagnosed in 1974, after a 3-day (and night) sleep study in a hospital. I had been to several different doctors prior to that, looking for answers. I was more recently diagnosed with sleep apnea and fibromyalgia as well.

    1. Hi . That is a long journey with narcolepsy. Have you started using a CPAP for your sleep apnea? Does anything bring you relief from fibromyalagia? Warm wishes. - Lori (Team Member)

    2. I do use a CPAP most of the time. The fibro is my worst problem, actually. Nothing seems to bring any relief. Fortunately, I'm retired, so no more having to go to work. I sleep when I need to, and do what I'm able - and that's my life.

      1. So young! When were you diagnosed with MS? Was there ever a time when narcolepsy treatment made a big difference? Thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)
