Narcoleptic needing a job! HELP?!

Ok I may be posting this on the wrong forum... but I've been dealing with narcolepsy since 05' and no matter what I do I cannot get on a proper sleep schedule! I seem to sleep better when the sun is shining. Why in the world I'll never know! But it's frustrating because I have like 4 college degrees and unable to work because it seems every few weeks I crash and simply sleep for a week straight! I'm considering reeducating myself in medical billing and transcription so that I can work from home.

Any other work from home ideas would be soooo appreciated! I'M BROKE and living with my ex...I'm at the end of a rope here and needing a solution desperately.

How does someone in my position support themselves? I'm seriously at a loss. If you have and suggestions or resourses please help!?

You seem to have made quite a few posts on this exact problem in the past on this website. Why has nothing improved for you too much? I'm sure that you have been given adequate advice already, so, have you not been trying it out? I don't mean to sound harsh to you my friend - I'm just genuinely curious and yet worried tha nothing seems to have improved for you.

GHB is easy to make and very effective. DO YOUR HOMEWORK FIRST. The difference between a working medicine and a death sentence is just a few milligrams. They prescribe pharma company made version of this called Xyrem which is identical to homemade GHB. Ask your doctor about it, and don't mention GHB.

If you have genuine narcolepsy, your doctor should be happy to prescribe it. Remember, in doctor-talk it's Xyrem not GHB. If you call it GHB they will definitely NOT give it to you, Google Xyrem and research.

Hmm you must have me mistaken with someone else. Grant it I do do some strange things in my sleep, but I've not yet posted on any forums without my knowledge...then again how would I know? *hehe*:oops:

It was only harsh because its the first time I've asked about this. Perhaps, I should have looked around a bit b-4 I posted but some days I simply don't have the time.

I forgive you...I've noticed that some other friends of mine from the UK might have reacted in the same manner...
Don't Worry though your an endearing lot! *chuckle*8)

Now do you have any constructive advice?

VOR,

Thanks for the advice I emailed my doctor just now I have an appointment in a couple of weeks and I'll definitely inquire about it. I had no idea!

I had heard the word xyrem but I was on provigil and it really didn't help at all Ritalin made me high as a kite...hated it. So now I'm on adderall which is wonderful I love it when it works it works all day until the evening and although I do crash I like to fall asleep on a schedule so I'm quite happy with it.

But when it doesn't work...it makes no sense to me at all.
No matter what I cant move or wake up. Sometimes this lasts 3 days sometimes 3 weeks I never know! AND If I try and take anymore adderall...I just get my blood pressure rising. (BTW I'm prescribed 30mg and I take 25 when I add the extra 5mm I just don't like it)

I'm very careful...I hate drugs...I don't even take a Tylenol unless I'm dying...

I hope this works! woot!

Hi again,

Yeh, I might have mixed you up with someone else - Sorry about that. voice_of_reason seems to know more about this than I do, but I was going to suggest drinking some herbal tea before you go to bed. Herbal tea has the effect of making us tired (and - no - there isn't a whole lot of caffeine in them).

ghb is great stuff.
