Cataplexy in M.E.

Hello,

One of my friends in my support group suffers from cataplexy. Cataplexy is a

loss

of muscle control, usually associated with Narcolepsy. Unlike fainting, where a

patient loses consciousness, cataplexy patients are conscious of their

surroundings

but do suffer a loss of motor control and an inability to communicate.

There are a few drugs for cataplexy, including Xyrem (to help put a patient into

a

deeper sleep), and some antidepressants to take during the daytime.

It's not a common symptom of ME, but I'm curious if anyone has experienced with

cataplexy in the group. I'd be most interested in what kind of doctors were

helpful,

and what kind of medications helped, if any.

Thanks,

Du Pre
