Yeah shoonpie, lol. I thought about my meds too, problem is, when EDS first onset at twentyseven years old, that is also during the time I noticed that sunlight really took a toll on me, symptom wise. Although I've always been a little more "awake" at night, I've never had a problem like this prior to narcolepsy symptom onset. This was even before I found out it was narcolepsy. lol. Once diagnosed and treated with meds, they worked, as long as I kept my sunglasses on and avoid sunlight as much as possible, just like I had to for the entire year before I was tested and diagnosed. weird, huh? Guess I shouldda been a vampire, LOL
