What causes someone to get narcolepsy?
Yes!!! I am always tired! my legs & my feet go numb! I tried walking when my whole left leg went numb & I fell & broke my left arm! I had 4 major spinal surgeries within the past years! I have Sciatica Nerve Pain so bad! my legs & feet are swollen & it's hard walking alot of times! it's so hard getting out of bed in the morning! My knees & my lower legs feels like there broken! My tail bone hurts most of the time when I'm sitting down! I'm on alot of strong pain medicine from my pain clinic! So if anyone has any helpful suggestions. I would welcome any comments! Thank You!!!
Hi
. What a difficult journey you've had. Did the surgeries trigger the narcolepsy or did falls from cataplexy cause the injuries that led to mutiple spinal injuries? I wish your doctors could do more for you. Have you considered a second opinion? Thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)
Hi
. Here is an article that explains the potential causes better than I can: https://narcolepsy.sleep-disorders.net/types. Do you suspect you have narcolepsy or have you been diagnosed with it? Warm wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
