Welcome to Narcolepsy.Sleep-Disorders.net!

Hi and welcome to Narcolepsy.Sleep-Disorders.net! We would love to get to know all of our members a bit more. Please feel free to share a little about yourself and your journey with narcolepsy!

  1. Hello everyone!
    I am 27, and I am currently a full-time graduate student getting my master's in music education (after teaching music for almost 4 years). I was diagnosed in 2018 at the age of 23, though I have had symptoms of narcolepsy my whole life. Currently, I am taking Wakix and Xywav, and both have been a huge game-changer when it comes to managing my symptoms. I have tried so many medications with awful side effects. Probably the biggest symptoms I deal with are EDS, brain fog, and nightly hallucinations. I usually have one hallucination each night, even though they might be a brief thirty seconds. I have been with this community for a few years now and it has been wonderful being here. I am grateful for the connections I've made and the stories I've been able to read and share!
    Xoxo/Zzz, Gabrielle
