Study Results
While Rare Patient Voice does not have access to the results of studies conducted by our clients, we do conduct internal studies from time-to-time and share these results back with those who participated. In a recent study across 15 conditions, patients were asked a number of thought provoking questions about their conditions. One of the questions was: Imagine if you could travel back in time and meet the person you were when you or your loved one were first diagnosed. What advice would you give them? How would you describe to that person how you feel now? Here are a few responses from our patients with Narcolepsy:
- I would tell myself not to feel so guilty when I was wanting to sleep a lot, that it wasn’t because I was being lazy or not wanting to be social, it was because I was actually tired.
- You can’t do it all. You can’t be like everybody else because they don’t have narcolepsy. Pulling an all-nighter is not a good idea because you won’t bounce back from it like everybody else would naturally. Don’t worry about what everybody else is doing. Do you, and you’ll be fine.
- It makes a lot more sense when I was first diagnosed of what was going on because I didn’t understand the daytime sleepiness. I probably wouldn’t have drank as much caffeine as I did when that happened because I was trying to make up for it. I would go back and not drink nearly as much caffeine and probably had gone to a doctor earlier than what I had, had I known what was the problem.
Partner Corner
The Norma Leah Ovarian Cancer Initiative’s mission is to enrich lives through early detection education, patient support services and research funding for ovarian cancer — the silent killer of women. Our goal is to empower all women (and those who love them) to recognize the subtle symptoms of ovarian cancer, to assess their personal risk, to explore risk-reduction strategies and to advocate for proper medical attention for the best outcome. Our efforts are contributing to reduced incidence and mortality rates of ovarian cancer.
We dream of the day when a screening test is developed, and it becomes a routine part of every woman’s annual wellness exam. For more information please visit: https://www.normaleah.org/
