Posted by duaine24 on June 16, 2008 at 18:58:29:I just was diagnosed with narcolepsy and I'm looking into symptoms. I never would have guessed that is what the neurologist would say after all the test. I went in for extreme clumbsyness and constant dizzyness and nausea with headaches, also "passing out" for a few seconds often. This had been going on for about 15 years, I'm 30 now. I had gotten used to it but it got worse and I finally got help. The MD put me on neurontin 2 weeks ago, prior to the diagnosis and it has dramatically improve the nausea and dizzyness. It also helps me wake in the morning and I am not quite as tired. I told him that I could get up in the mornings now instead of lying there with my brain awake screaming at myself to get up but I just couldn't move. I have been like that for so long I though it was normal or that I was just lazy. He said the "passing out" was drop spells where I would fall asleep for a few seconds. This is all weird to me but the more symptoms I read the more I think "yeah that's me".
My question is has anyone else experienced the nausea and dizzyness prior to taking meds or being diagnosed?
