I was wondering if anybody here is familiar with narcolepsy and might be able to either tell me or refer me somewhere that I can get information about it. They just found out I have it but they sure as heck didn't tell me much about it, although, I will be taking medicine for it and I'm hoping that will help I would just like to know more. I have these episodes which I assume is part of the narcolepsy. where I fall asleep real quick then my eyes go back and forth real quick which is kind of annoying, I start "dream" although its more like watching a movie because I feel more feelings in my regular dreams than I do in real life or in this particular set of "dreams" with the eye movement. Then my side might start to cramp but I can't wake up because I'm stuck until the eye movements and dreams go away. But I'm very aware of whats going on during these attacks.
Also if anybody is familiar with cushings syndrome or pituitary gland tumors I would also like that information. I know I have the tumors as my prolactin levels are 75, normal being 20. I just don't know yet if I just take the pill and it will disolve or if I have to have surgery and go through radiation. The same with cushings syndrome. Any information would be great. Thanks.

yeah, but all the information on the internet is the same. I'm an excellant researcher, I had to do a lot of "investigative research" in school and when I worked for a while but either I'm not as good as I used to be or there's not much on the subject. Thanks, I'll try again maybe there is something new out there.
