Narcolepsy/ Doctors/ St. Louis

I am looking for sleep doc suggestions from Narcoleptics that experience chronic Cataplexy in the St. Louis area.

  1. Hi Regina
    I'm in the stl area. Were you able to find anymore information?

    1. Yes, I have. They haven't been great. The one I go to now I have gone to on and off for 27 years, he will be retiring soon. When my cataplexy started getting worse and he didn't seem to have a good grasp or understanding about that aspect of N. I tried two other doctors, who had an even worse grasp or understanding of the symptom cataplexy which sent me back to the one I have been going to for so long. However, that was 20 years ago when I tried the other two so I was hoping 20 years has made a significant difference in the world of N and how much doctors really know about it.

      1. I hope so as well. There does seem to be more awareness of narcolepsy overall. So, many that is true of the neurology community, too. - Lori (Team Member)

    2. Hi Regina. I hope you get some responses from the community. Have you already had experiences with some doctors in the area? Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
