We #medical professionals must do a better job at diagnosing patients with #sleep problems, especially #narcolepsy and #cataplexy. Diagnostic delays of 5+ years have a devastating impact on one's life.

It took two weeks of being with the pubic for me to get sick. That's all. Two weeks.

Bunch of dirty birds.

So now with my #Narcolepsy fully flared I get to go in public and risk abuse by strangers because every time I have #Cataplexy one of you weirdos beat the shit out of me.

For those patients with #narcolepsy and #cataplexy this is a major announcement! A once-nightly version of sodium #oxybate has finally been approved. #Avadel

@Connecticutting #Cataplexy perhaps 😀

Hoping that competition leads to a price reduction in this #medication, an essential one for treating those with #narcolepsy and #cataplexy. Currently #Xyrem (sodium #oxybate) costs over $12,000 a month!!
