I need to know is stress can cause more narcolepsy attacks?
I have a 11 yr old who has narcolepsy and epilepsy. durring the summer we go and have 3 or 4 attacks a week. well when school starts the attacks go to 3 or 4 a day. She takes 2 naps at school, but the wake her up from them. any advice??
I have also notice that is she dont eay meals and snacks she has spells. does this affect it?
She can go from being a bouncing off the wall 11 yr old, to a 11 yr having to be pushed in a wheel chair. because she is so weak.
I have researched, asked, and the drs are trying to adjust meds. now. does anyone know anything that can help us, be half way normal???

Yes, stressful situations can cause narcolepsy attacks. Talk to your doctor about it as he/she may want to adjust the meds.
Stress is a big factor of seizures and the more seizures she has, the more tired she gets as its very draining on an epileptic. What about one very good nap at school instead of 2 naps at school where she is woken up from, as an epileptic really needs their deep rest / sleep. You may find one decent good nap will help her through school than interrupted one.
Medication can take quite some time to work out and they can only go by what information you can give them. Just be their for her and re assure her when she has a seizure and give her heaps of cuddles.
