Don Torcuato Argentina BSAS
Looking for information about disease I have found this blog, I communicate with you because I have a dream epilepcia in 6 years and I still do not have treatment progress and that the only solution that I offer is to take phenytoin is a capsule containing Phenytoin Sodium (known as Epamin) 100 mg, which is to be an anticonvulsant therapeutic action, Antiarrhythmic. Beyond the little interest and lack of will that my neurologist has me still looking for information to be able to treat the disease but with little success. WANTED TO ASK THEM IF I COULD CONTACT CAPACIDATOS DOCTORS TO TREAT THE DISEASE.

Hi!
I tell my story queiro ... I'm narcoleptic, for very many years, but recent discoveries will make 7 months. And when I discovered, is literal.
After having completed high school (since I have no memories of episodes have there), and started college, I started with these sleep problems.
All but absolutely ALL the days, had episodes of falling asleep (body feel lightheaded) where either (always sitting, never I fell to the floor or anything like that). Were episodes of seconds, minutes, no more than that, but could not control. I knew I was sleeping, that I closed their eyes, and inside me said "abrilos, you're staying asleep", but it was useless, could not. He listened to everything that happened to my alrrededor, if I was in class and sleeping as it was, was still listening to the teacher, and as soon as I woke up (as if he had slept 5 hours straight) could follow the lesson to perfection. People around me could not believe it!
Whenever I had a new teacher, I had to sit with him and explain my situation "inexplicable" because until then I did not know I had, but knew something was.
In my house, they treated me like I was tired and fell asleep, being awake until "late" (00:30 pm) on the computer (as anyone who might read this.)
is worth noting that never in life I could see a whole movie, the saw in volumes, parts. coletivo a trip (coach), was sleeping, but never stop happen, a labor meeting, the same.
My answers to the world, with the typical question and usual routine - Meli Hello, how are you???, Were always the same, - "dead, I can not but with my life, really tired."
I knew something was wrong, it was not normal, wearing the same life as all my friends, and yet had these episodes I could not control them!
I went to all the doctors have or might have, I did study everything you can imagine, and that came out?? it was fine, everything was good, I had nothing ... I went out of the doctors, BAD, SAD. He wanted me to find something, tell me, "Look, you got this and this, you took this and ready" but not! I was nothing anyone.
one day, with total curiosity and wondering why I did not do this before?, enter google, and wrote "I fall asleep EVERYWHERE." Into a forum there, and then another I took another, and in the midst of a forum, someone named NARCOLEPSY word, immediately afterwards, also the google search and found there the symptoms, hisotrias, this blog and everything that said, I WAS! I felt totlamente identified.
I showed my family that ended up asking me apologize.
I read that I had to resort to a neurologist.
I went to a sleep clinic, there I did the first studies to see if in fact what I have are apneas in sleep, and rule out narcolepsy, but no, the study came out perfect, since I sleep until I get up, sleep well!
thus, was still studying the Narcolepsy, which was a bit more complex, but I did, and went finalemnte YES!, I have narcolepsy.
My doctor medicated. I take a pill called MODAFINIL of VIGICER, and the truth, my life changed 100%.
I had anymore episodes, I'm awake and I sleep at night without problems!
I hope my testimony has been served. ANY questions, concerns and others, I am to answer them!
Regards
Melina, from Argentina.

Hi Melina, I'm glad you found the name to your sleep problems finally Narcolepsy. I understand, general practitioners even remotely send you to a neuro, at most a psychologist or give you vitamins to increase performance (to be useful to a system instead of improving the quality of life)
I ask you something: 100% better? so you feel? It seems to me well, but almost impossible. You did not sleep paralysis? Cataplejías? Modafinil wakes The only part of the day (my good in idiopathic hypersomnia), so I ask.
If you are interested meet, contact and wrote a couple of people waiting partcipar of our meetings. If you give your private information on someone will contact you
A greeting and you keep very good!

Hi Rodrigo! I also am taking modafinil, I take a pill (nose of all that is) every day with breakfast. As you say this helps me a bit, but later, usually after eating I start to "sleep" would have you believe k k I take more consultation with the doctor?
22nd May 2010 at 19:38
Hi Lydia ..! I wish I could help you a bit more but I'm looking for information as well. All I can say is that I take a tablet Vigicer (Modafinil) to get up (before breakfast or lunch) and despavilarme helps me and that I will feel sleepy while I prepare and ready to go to work. However, I get sleepy later if I'm not active. If I am a long time on the computer, it also gives me dream ... If I wake up late, ie around 10 am, but I can not take Modafinil vay Diculpa sleep ... can not help much, for now, as I said Bella Sleeping, I have turn to a specialist in sleep medicine and makes the consultation on Modafinil ... Good luck ..! Greetings ..!

I do not understand this, which I have been diagnosed 10 years ago and all you have to clear that will not heal, it relieved us, it is giving false hope to improve the total, have you seen some modional nor going. to improve life is that we serve, but to let you know that will not heal and that says science and recent studies. Greetings to all

10th June 2010 at 18:03
Dr, in the forum there are sometimes questions about alternative therapies. With Narcolepsy still waiting for the doctors (I speak from Argentina) at least know of it without putting weird face. I hope that homeopathy and other drug dealing to add something that benefits us.
Thank you for your greetings and good wishes!

Hello, I wanted to ask a couple of things if you do not mind. On the one hand, when and at what age did you start to have the first symptoms. On the other hand, where do I go recomendas consultations, because I have the problem of having a 24 hour sleep feeling I do not get to sleep easily but the feeling is good. I am a young person so that's why I asked how old your symptoms began.
