    Wow, what a beautiful story. I share a similar story with you as well. My brother was diagnosed with SMS at a very young age. Multiple specialists didn't know what he had for a long time. It has been a journey. From multiple major spinal surgeries, surgeries on his ears, a shunt installed to drain excessive fluid from his brain, and many many trials.. this story is beautiful and touching. It is very nice to relate to your family in many ways. The melatonin and the early stages were extremely tough! My brother is also non-verbal as well! Your family has so much patience, and its incredible to witness. It doesn't get easier, but believe me when I say... your son has an incredible big sister and the responsibility of caring for him would NEVER be a burden to her! (THE LOVE SHOWS) She is going to grow up and see the care you have demonstrated so well.. he will never go without! He will live many more beautiful years, even after your death, because he has an amazing family behind him! <3

    My mom at 70 yrs old found out she had cancer on 3/2/2024. After doing additional tests she found out on 4/3/2024 that she had Stage IV cholangiocarcinoma. She was told on 4/3/2024 that she had a year to live and the pursue getting chemotherapy. She never made it. The day that chemo was supposed to start her body started to fall apart (because cancer had consumed so many other organs). She died 56 days after finding out that she had cancer and a mere 24 days after hearing she had 1 year to live. This cancer is terrible. I feel for everyone else that has or will go through this with a loved one. Cancer is awful.

    Migraines. New treatment may be? I have around three per year. A few days ago a Migraine started with the eye flashes as usual whilst I was driving. I pulled in to a layby and took two Ibuprofen as normal expecting that they would clear it up in the normal 30 odd minutes. At this time my hay fever was making my eyes sore so I immediately got out my battery operated two-pronged Red Light Therapy nose treatment and started the four minute cycle up my nose and within around a minute my left eye zig zags cleared and a couple of minutes later my right eye zig zags cleared also. No headache and no more Migraine. This was too obvious not to associate the RLT with removing my Migraine as the Ibuprofen had not had nearly enough time to assist. Make of this what you will but these little RLT machines can be sourced cheaply on line and, for me, replaced hay fever drugs completely a couple of decades ago with no side effects at all. For my next Migraine I will try the RLT first to see of it works drug free, meantime why not try it yourself even in desperation perhaps? I hope this helps someone.

    This sounds incredibly traumatic..... Tumors do love sugar, glucose all processed foods, fatty foods, oils, dairy anything that is processed. scientific research points to water fasting once a week. Intermittent fasting daily. And consuming various types of vegetables and homemade blended vegetable juices. (avoiding ANYTHING TASTING SWEET including sweet fruits) until a person's blood tests improve DRAMATICALLY 😁👍🏻 The stomach secretes different fluids to digest different food... eating food groups 2 hours apart is less work on gastric environment. Organic probiotics prebiotic, enzyme, supplements. Tumors hate oxygen and fiber. The way food is cooked has an effect on weakening or strengthening tumors. Tumors hate boring food ie steamed or boiled veggies, water cooked foods etc. transcendental and visualization meditations , and the exercise of deep breathing into the stomach a few times daily. Detoxing endocrine and lymphatic system. These are a couple of bodily symptoms some tumors hijack. Hope this helps someone 💕🙏🏽

    I've had symptoms since the age of 12 and wasn't diagnosed until 36. Being diagnosed has made an improvement in understanding what is going on with me. The cataplexy can be difficult, I get very dizzy, not vertigo dizzy, but a buzzing in my head. I'm still looking for other narcoleptic's with this symptom, I haven't heard of anyone with narcolepsy type 1 describe this. I would love to be able to find other's struggling with this "dizziness."

    My doctor ignored me as if I was drug seeking. He did send me to a gynecologist. She says things feel fine. I looked like I was pregnant. Back pain, sweating, pain in abdomen. The pain got worse so my plan go to er get problems figured out. They found a football size ovarian tumor. They sent me on a medical jet down to Seattle. They removed the tumor and did a debulking, took out some lymph node’s. Cancer didn’t spread outside the tumor. At the er they told me I would most likely die. I did go visit them when I got home. They were shocked, no chemo, no treatment my decision. That was in May 2011.
