Falling Asleep While Eating Lunch!
Daytime sleepiness for me, is becoming increasingly annoying. Last week I actually fell asleep for a brief few seconds with my fork in my hand over a salad. Actually, it happened more than once in a minute or two. I fought to stay awake, then decided to go lay down. I slept for one hour, got up and realized that I was still tired. I went back to bed and slept an3 hours!
The night before was like any other. I usually get 8-9 hours sleep every night.
I have fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, and Vasculitis. Of course these diseases cause fatigue. I have not changed medication recently…
Anyone else with fibromyalgia, or CFS have any similar issues?
Thanks!

It's nice to see discussions on narcolepsy. I hadn't searched under autoimmune disorders. Is there any more complete site about the disorder? Are there any Hospitals or Clinics that have specilialists in narcolepsy.
Please let me know if there are any schools doing any research or studies on Narcolepsy or medicine for it?
I have had it for many years and have many questions.

1 Reaction@msfarkle Narcolepsy is certainly a difficult illness to have. You might try calling these two sites:
GARD- genetic and rare diseases- https://rarediseases.info.nih.gov/
NORD-National Organization for Rare Diseases- https://rarediseases.org/
They should be able to help you! You might try the medical society in your state
You can also try a university medical school. You can also ask your rheumatologist for recommendations
Let me know if you have any luck!
