Well Hello,
I had my best day since being back on RLS meds yesterday (monday). Sunday night I took neurontin 900mg, mirapex 1mg and of course xyrem 9 ml. I skpipped the oxycontin. Last night I took the same thing and I feel horrible. I don't know why. If anything I was awake more during the night on Sunday night then last night. Its frustrating to feel this way again today, since I thougt I was making progress yesterday.
RLS/PLMD and Narcolepsy/Cataplexy
I found it!!
Sorry about coming in late but I have been very busy at work and in my spare time I have been researching Narcolepsy. I still have not gotten to read all the posts here. I have been at work 35 hours straight, I'll be going home shortly, I've been working 50 to 70 hours a week. Because of my work schedule I won't be able to get the results of the latest tests for probably a couple of weeks.
Yes I have some N symptoms, but these same symptoms could also be just fatigue. If after reading the mslt he thinks I have N then he must have seen trouble with my REM sleep. My wife is a doctor and I looked up N in one of her manuals, this info is 20 years old, but they say the sure way to tell if someone has N is that they go into REM sleep as soon as they fall asleep. This didn't happen in the first sleep test, not sure about the second one yet.
As soon as I get work straightened around and get more facts I'll post them. Thanks for all the help.

Welcome back Frank!
No hurry, thanks for checking back.
Good to have a doctor in the family!
Yes, I was curious about your REM sleep pattern.
That is the only objective thing in sleep disorders, polysomnographic measurements.
I am looking into these also. Glad you are still part of this effort.
