   Extractions: There is no cure for narcolepsy; however, the symptoms can be controlled with behavioral and medical therapy. The excessive daytime sleepiness may be treated with stimulant drugs or with the drug modafinil (Provigil), which was approved by the FDA for this use in 1999. Cataplexy and other REM-sleep symptoms may be treated with antidepressant medications. At best, medications will reduce the symptoms, but will not alleviate them entirely. Also, many currently available medications have side effects. Basic lifestyle adjustments such as regulating sleep schedules, scheduled daytime naps and avoiding "over-stimulating" situations may also help to reduce the intrusion of symptoms into daytime activities. What is the prognosis?

   Extractions: Narcolepsy is a serious medical disorder and a key to understanding other sleep disorders Narcolepsy is a disabling illness affecting more than 1 in 2,000 Americans. Most individuals with the disorder are not diagnosed and are thus not treated. The disease is principally characterized by a permanent and overwhelming feeling of sleepiness and fatigue. Other symptoms involve abnormalities of dreaming sleep, such as dream-like hallucinations and finding oneself physically weak or paralyzed for a few seconds (see Symptoms). The Stanford University Sleep Clinic was the first medical clinic ever established to specialize in sleep disorders. It was founded in the early 1970s by Dr. William Dement to diagnose and treat narcoleptic patients. The Stanford Center for Narcolepsy was established in the 1980s and is now directed by Drs. Emmanuel Mignot and Seiji Nishino. The Center for Narcolepsy is part of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and has published more than 100 articles on narcolepsy. It is the world leader in narcolepsy research. Several hundred patients with the disorder are currently treated at the Center or participate in various research protocols. Other research protocols are conducted in animals models of narcolespy. The Stanford Center for narcolepsy was the first to report that narcolepsy-cataplexy is caused by hypocretin (orexin) abnormalities in both animal models and humans (see Research). We are always looking for volunteers in our narcolepsy research studies.

   Extractions: I sleep – for a while – two or three hours – then a dream – no – a nightmare seizes me in its grip, I know full well that I am lying down and that I am asleep... I sense it and I know it... and I am also aware that somebody is coming up to me, looking at me, running his fingers over me, climbing on to my bed, kneeling on my chest, taking me by the throat and squeezing... squeezing... with all its might, trying to strangle me. I struggle, but I am tied down by that dreadful feeling of helplessness which paralyzes us in our dreams. I want to cry out – but I can’t. I want to move – I can’t do it. I try, making terrible, strenuous efforts, gasping for breath, to turn on my side, to throw off this creature who is crushing me and choking me – but I can’t! Then, suddenly, I wake up, panic-stricken, covered in sweat. I light a candle. I am alone. Hello! Welcome to my place. Well having a web page is new to me, but I thought this one was well worth the effort. Now, lets get a few things straight. I am Not a health professional, but Narcolepsy and I are old friends, well, ok, maybe not Friends, but we have lived together for more than 20 years, 22 to be exact.

   Extractions: Narcolepsy affects an estimated 25 in every 100,000 people in the United States. This sleep disorder is primarily characterized by intermittent, uncontrollable episodes of falling asleep during the daytime. Three additional symptoms are typically associated with narcolepsy: cataplexy (short-lived intermittent muscle weakness), hypnogogic and hypnopompic hallucinations (hallucinations while falling asleep or waking), and sleep paralysis (paralysis while falling asleep or waking). Narcolepsy usually begins when a person is in their teens or early twenties. Stimulants and antidepressants are used to treat narcolepsy and subsequent cataplexy. Although it has been linked with blood pressure management and depression, the genesis of narcolepsy is unknown. However, recent advances in narcolepsy study suggest the possibility of a cure. Incidence Narcolepsy usually begins in the teens or early twenties (10 to 20 years old), but this varies; both young children and the elderly experience sleep attacks as well. Approximately 125,000 people in the United States alone suffer from this disorder, with an equal incidence among both women and men. Excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden sleep onset are the hallmarks of narcolepsy. Whether narcolepsy is a life-long disorder or not is controversial. Some evidence suggests that it is, while other studies have shown that symptoms fade in older age.

    Extractions: Narcolepsy: What is it really like? from: "Symptom Description and Management in Narcolepsy" The Results of University of Illinois at Chicago Center for Narcolepsy Study In association with the American Sleep Disorders Association in a random sample of 1500 narcoleptics from the American Narcolepsy Association by Cohen FL, Nehring WM, Cloninger l Holistic Nursing Practice 1996;10(4):44-53 No one drug successfully treats all the manifestations of narcolepsy. The excessive daytime sleepiness/sleep attacks are often treated with stimulant medications.... Despite the array of drugs that have been used in the treatment of narcolepsy, success in symptom control is limited, and side effects may be prevalent. Patients often do not perceive a major relief of symptoms. In the present study, symptom prevalence was reported to continue in the majority of individuals despite their medications. [Because they insist on treating you like it is your fault (psychiatric), and giving drugs like Ritalin that do not function effectively even when they know good DAMN WELL what drugs are effective] Therapy is long term and usually lifelong, so that narcolepsy is categorized as a chronic illness. Because narcolepsy is an incurable illness with variable treatment results and symptoms that interfere with daily functioning, its impact on quality of life is significant.

    Extractions: "Imagine falling asleep while at the wheel waiting for a green light, or at work, as happened to my patients. Excessive daytime sleepiness is often the most disabling symptom of narcolepsy and the most difficult to treat. The goal of my research is to find better ways to control this symptom.." Ann E. Rogers PhD, RN Associate Professor, University of Pennsylvania Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and sleep attacks. Other symptoms include brief episodes of muscle weakness or paralysis, dream-like images when falling asleep and disturbed sleep at night. Narcolepsy effects equal numbers of men and women and occurs in all racial groups. This sleep disorder usually develops during the late teens or early twenties and continues throughout the individual's life. Early diagnosis and appropriate medical care are critical for reducing the adverse effects of this disorder. With adequate medication and support from their teachers, employers and families, most patients can enjoy a near-normal lifestyle. Unfortunately, many patients remain undiagnosed and undertreated. The Narcolepsy Research Project consists of a group of clinicians and investigators dedicated to improving the care of narcoleptic patients. We are particularly interested in learning more about the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness; what treatments are effective and what treatments are not effective for controlling this symptom.

    Extractions: Request free mailed brochure Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder caused by the brain's inability to regulate sleep-wake cycles normally. At various times throughout the day, people with narcolepsy experience fleeting urges to sleep. If the urge becomes overwhelming, patients fall asleep for periods lasting from a few seconds to several minutes. In rare cases, some people may remain asleep for an hour or longer. Narcoleptic sleep episodes can occur at any time, and thus frequently prove profoundly disabling. People may involuntarily fall asleep while at work or at school, when having a conversation, playing a game, eating a meal, or, most dangerously, when driving an automobile or operating other types of potentially hazardous machinery. In addition to daytime sleepiness, three other major symptoms frequently characterize narcolepsy:

    Extractions: A few years ago, the opening line in a catalogue of a small McKean-exhibition in Barcelona block lettered: " Dave McKean es un volca " - " Dave McKean, a volcano ". His production is indeed so powerful and unique, relating to volume, but also with regard to quality and diversity. McKean never stops, evolves continuously, renews and surprises always, pushing back the borders with light-years in every field he explores. Whereas he functioned as the guru of the Photoshop-generation for the graphic arts during the 90ties, he accomplishes this role in the universe of digital animation today. Accordingly, he works now on 4 movie projects, including a movie adaptation of " Signal To Noise ", and " Mirror mask ", a movie for the Jim Henson Company . Meanwhile, one seems to forget that he still remains 1 of the top draftsmen of his generation; as well as a gifted narrator, who wrote with " Cages " 1 of the most ambitious and complete novels in the comic book history.
