My brother is narcoleptic,he was diagnosed in middle school. They managed it for a long time with Ritalin,believe it or not. I gathered it’s pretty simple to treat. I really hope that they get some answers for you soon!

@Skip -> For the record, my swearing is about the children, and not [usually] at the children. When I said you ought to comment on my blog from time to time, I meant in a supportive, "I love you" kind of way. Way to make everyone think I'm some kind of awful parent!

With all the swearing you do at the kids I wouldn’t be surprised if you have tourettes, too :P

@Kathy -> Actually, it’s come and gone my whole life, but I never realized that all of the different strange things I’ve had happen (dizzy spells, sleepiness I can’t fight off, vivid dreaming, doing things in my sleep, etc) could all be symptoms of one disorder. The more I read about narcolepsy, the more I won’t be surprised if that is what this is.

Sommer, I don’t know anything about narcolepsy (just guessing here) but do you think it may be caused from the first car accident? Did you start having some small or vague symptoms initially that are getting more obvious now? I hope your neurologist can get this figured out soon. That has to be quite scary when you are driving.

Eh, what’s one more thing to add to your plate?! You have time for narcolepsy, right? I hope you get this figured out soon. Your body is still mad at you for missing so much sleep when the twins came along!

he might not need ST but the speech therapists could be a bridge to other services and could really be an asset in your corner.

I wondered if that might be the cause for you Sommer. I hope not though! Hopefully your test results come back soon and you get an answer.
