In the past week since the cold snap, we have had quite a few new referrals for asthma evaluations and management. It is important to follow the plans set by your pcp’s. A lot of exacerbations would’ve avoided if patients had been following their standard asthma management plans.

This weekend, I gave a lecture on Narcolepsy in children. Narcolepsy in children is under recognized. Several kids deal with symptoms for 7-15 years before they are eventually diagnosed. Sadly, that means they have many of the devastating effects of missed diagnosis such as, school failure, mood disorders like depression, anxiety disorder as well as a general feeling of poor self worth. Additionally, they are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD, inattentive type or what is occasionally termed as ADD.

Narcolepsy is a pediatric condition that is typically diagnosed in adulthood. That is really a tragedy because most kids deal with narcolepsy symptoms through their middle and high school and that can lead to school failure, as well as comorbid conditions like depression, anxiety and ADHD. Daytime sleepiness is never normal in children and teenagers. Falling asleep in school is never normal. A teenager who would rather nap than hangout with their mates after school is not normal.

Heading to Melbourne to give a talk on Pediatric narcolepsy at the FAST meeting. Narcolepsy is an incredibly rewarding condition to manage. Knowing that narcolepsy awareness is increasing and that there are so many upcoming treatment options for patients with narcolepsy it’s exciting.
