Narcolepsy requiring MTF diagnosis

I was diagnosed by civilian provider with Narcolepsy 1 and successfully treated with xyrem and modafanil. Was on the medications for 7 months and finally felt like a normal human being. When I PCSd the sleep clinic tested and undiagnosed me. No longer treated and I sleep most days away.

The military docs just can’t seem to figure out what the problem is…

were you going through a MEB?
 
so they arent even considering your Narcolepsy or did you claim also but its just not one of your referred conditions ?
VA recognizes my Narcolepsy, but military is not treating and it is not one of my referred conditions.
 
Just an update.. I was told that it may take 4-6 weeks for results. So I am at about 3.5 weeks since test so hopefully I hear something this week. In the meantime I moving on from Armodafinil to something called Sunosi. Just waiting on Tricare to approve it.

For the results from the sleep test ??? I’ve tried sunsosi didn’t work for me. Right now I’m on armodafinil and this new one call wakix.
 
Yeah results from the MSLT at Walter Reed. Armodafinil didn't work because it legit made my stomach hurt and feel sick.

That’s some bullshit bro why the result taking so long. The civilian test the results are in within two days. Results are there they just dragging they feet about it. They have me combining the two. Adderal didn’t work either for me
 
My guess is because they are so backed up. If you call to make an initial appointment you are looking at 2 months or more to even get in.

oh yea I know I had "virtual appt" since june for oct smh
 
Any update ?
Nope. Really annoying. I was first told 8 weeks from Walter Reed. I thought she didn't understand me and thought thats how far the MSLT scheduling was out so I then called FB. They told me 2-3 weeks. After the 3rd week I called WR back and they told me 4-6. So Wed is going to be my 6 week mark.
