Narcolepsy
"I am 63 years old.  Feel as if I have lost out on many years of living. Always had mental health issues.  I managed to work for twenty-five years, off and on.  Never was able to articulate my physical and emotional well being very well to a doctor.  I was just handed an antidepressant and a sleeping pill. I gave up trying to find an answer to my severe fatigue, insomnia and deep depressions. I would beat myself up, since there has never been any reason, I could pin point as to why I suffered so much.  I feel I have slept my life away. Now I am finally HOPEFUL. On low dose dex for one week. I slept a full 8 hours and have a positive feeling of a wonderful 25 years to come!  Thanks for all the comments, which have given me a renewed strength!"
