I recently contacted Jerry Siegel
Professor of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences
Center for Sleep Research
It was there that the first testing of orexin on
narcoleptic dogs was done.
I was interested in finding out more about how that
research is going and also enquired about being a
brain doner.
I would like to ask all of you to consider this also.
One of the main issues with narcolepsy research is the
lack of narcoleptic ...

HI my name is roxanne and I am 19 years old. I became bulimic last summer when I started seeing how chubby I got my first year of college. At first I stopped eating completely but my body couldn't handle it so I would eat when I couldn't take it anymore and just throw it up. Sounded like a good plan to me. Well, I lost about 20 pounds and started dating this guy. He ...

The man I'm seeing lies to others, apparently for his own entertainment. His stories are all plausible but can some times be a little graphic and often involve his health.

For example, this weekend alone he's told me he was having surgery soon, was once shot by a girlfriend, and has chronic back pain. The only reason I know he's lying is that he tells me so after he gauges my reaction to his lies. ...

The name is Kisha and I am in seventh grade. There aren't that many people (well, maybe a lot) taht get bullied every single day at school. I always get bullied at school. Poeple go up to me and say "look, it's a geek!" And when I walk home to my car, it is very old and always makes the loudest squeaks ever, kids go "FIX IT< STUPID!" My grandpa drives it, and I feel ...

Hey,
Well, all my friends seem to be really concerned about me. No one believes me when I tell them that there's no need to worry about me because I'll be fine. They are telling me over and over that they are concerned because I'm so depressed and distant. One of my friends is literally begging me to go and talk with the school counselor because it's driving him nuts that I'm not they way ...

I am a 17 jear old girl and I live in Holland (and my english is not really perfect, I hope you don't mind).

Last night I saw a program about BDD on the Discovery Channel. My boyfriend is 22 jears old, and we are together for over 2 jears now. Before I came in to his life he had a relationship with a girl his age, for over 4 jears, and she never told ...

I've known my signficant other for 11 years since we were teenagers and is bipolar. As a person, he is kind, helpful, highly creative, intelligent, and loving. The disease part often alters who he is - into someone I don't know. It is a very difficult disease to have and to be around.. My love hasn't changed. Many people don't understand this disease. In the last year, we started living together. In the last three ...

my previous post had many typos...i am sorry. i was rushing and upset. here it is again.
My boyfriend of 20 years, who is in his 40s, first started to experience mental problems around his 40th birthday. Many things happened all at once: he went of a high-protein (severe--no carbs at all for a month) diet, takes self-treating a yeast infection with high oral dosages of lamasil (purchased in Mexico), got involved in a major ...
