I have had narcolepsy since the Summer of 1998.
I was diagnosed in May of 2002.
I have been taking 2 provigils a day since then except for those times when the insurance companies would make me try adderoll and ritalin before filling my provigil prescription! It was so frustrating and my provigil would then not work as well and I would struggle!!!!!I started researching and read in a few places where the symptoms of Mercury poisoning are very similar to that of narcolepsy...excessive sleepiness, memory loss, muscle spasms, etc. I thought it was a long shot, but it never hurts to look into it.
After must frustration and continued sleepiness with just taking my provigil I decided to take the plunge and have my mercury fillings removed. It took two trips to the dentist and voila! The mercury was gone and my narcolepsy symptoms went away with it!
I could hardly believe it. My quality of life has returned! I need to still do some chelation to get the remainder of the toxic mercury poisoning out of my system, but I have not taken a single provigil since April of 2007 and I am awake and alert all day!!!!
If you have mercury/amalgam fillings this is something to research and try...make sure you go to a dentist who takes the proper precautions when removing mercury!
If you don't have mercury/amalgam fillings see if your mom does, because I have read that a large percentage of the mercury that leeches into your body from the fillings in your mouth will transfer to the fetus, so you could have mercury poisoning without every having a single filling in your own mouth.
I know the causes of narcolepsy are different, but this is help for some of us out there!
Please message me with thoughts, questions, etc.
All the best,
Sleepy No More
