gluten free for narcolepsy

hello all

Ok so the story so far.... Iv been diagnosed with narcolepsy for nearly 10 years now.. im on a fair bit of medication, which i hate, but without it i,m falling around the place like a bad drunk. do medication is my only option!! or so i thought. 
Iv been researching and apparently going gluten free has put narcolepsy into remission for some people...  wouldn't that be something.. so im going to log my progress and see how it goes....
so as it is i get up weekdays at 8am... ahhhh noooo stop alarm please......
Every morning comes as a complete surprise to me... Anyway i drag my sorry ass out of bed, take my medication. 200mg provigil and 20mg of inafrinal... i weigh myself as putting on weight when you have narcolepsy is one thing we can do well.... ahhhh 176lb,  the same for the last 3 weeks... feck it and i was a really good girl, on low GI for the last 5 months at least.  Iv lost 20lb, but nothing in the last 3 weeks... at least i didnt go up....  so get daughter out to school for 9am( just about).. Had great intentions of cleaning. taking dog for walk, doing the ironing...  Guess what???? Its now 12.12 and iv nothing done.... except 2 cups of coffie drank and eaten an apple, yogurt, and two gluten free rice cakes...Oh and smoked 2 cigarettes....
So Im going to take 200mg more provigil, and 20mg anafrinal..Then have a little nap B4 i pick up daughter at 1.40pm. Then its homework, followed my swimming lessons for my little 6 year old, i might hop on the treadmill for 15 minutes then hit the pool for 3.00 pm.

  1. It's subtle. You will notice it in a few days.
    Just stay clean- it will happen- and it's the most fascinating thing you will ever experience.

    Best Wishes for a rapid and dramatic recovery!
