It would appear that my narcolepsy has no simple solution. Although the symptom can occur after radiotherapy it usually happens much sooner. Nobody has an answer to hand. The drug I mentioned in a previous post is probably not an option because, as Charles pointed out, it can be responsible for seizures itself, which is obviously something I do not want to happen. It may also not be freely available for prescription. This is what my doctor told me when she phoned me yesterday evening. Apparently you need a special licence or something to be able to prescribe this. It's all rather a shame, really, as it did seem to offer all the solutions I was looking for.
The other option that's being considered is some form of sleep treatment. That perhaps my breathing during sleep time is not going on properly. So I may be referred to a sleep specialist! Well, I've not seen one of those before and I don't know what it'll involve. I've got my jury duty in 3 weeks so I hope the two fit together properly!

Don't worry about the Jury service I have a sure fire ways to get out of that and its real Ssmple.
Just tell them, that your glad to be on the jury as you can spot a guilty person a mile off, with their piggy eyes and funny expressions, but that it's usually their star sign or AURA that gives them away.
I am sure that will work.
As for the other stuff, a sleep specialist is that a real job MMmmm missed my vocation . so is it something like sleep aponea they think you might have ?
apparently playing a didgeridoo is good for that as it strengthens your throat muscles. and that's the truth.
keep on keeping on fella
