congrats on the good night’s sleep, sugargremlin. Is the seroquel a sedative?
Nellie, it’s possible to have both narcolepsy and ADD. The ADD specialist is not a sleep specialist and the sleep specialist is not an ADD specialist, so I can see where both experts were required to diagnose this. The sleep specialist says that narcolepsy is the primary issue and ADD is further down the list. But I want to hear the results of the sleep study to see what’s happening. I still have a followup appt with the ADD specialist – pending results of the sleep study which he will receive – and he said that he wanted the sleep issues treated first and then he would treat any residual ADD. So my consultation phase is far from over.
I found a narcolepsy support site on Yahoo groups, and the co-moderator there is my age and has both narcolepsy and ADD, both textbook cases. So I am hoping to find out more there, in particular what drugs are available and how people have dealt with having their drivers’ license revoked and reinstated upon appeal. Mine hasn’t been yet, but it’s mandatory for the doc to report me once they have seen my sleep results and started treating me. He gave me an official warning not to drive on Thursday.
