Allow access to Xyrem (sodium oxybate) to sufferers of Narcolepsy in the UK please!
The Issue
I suffer from Narcolepsy with Cataplexy from time to time. I suffer from debilitating sleep disorders which renders me incapacitated at best to collapsing without warning. I have been prescribed medication but was ineffective. Since October 2015 my situation has become worse. More attacks, hallucinations, talking to myself/someone etc. Since October there has been no suitable medication that my Consultant has been able to give me.
I am desperate.
I have heard of a drug called Xprem (Sodium Oxybate) but because my condition is rare, Norfolk NHS Trust/NHS Trust Papworth Hospital will not prescribe due to the cost.
I am a lone voice on here but I am sure there are others suffering, and not been given the option to at least try this medication. Where it has been used it has brought relief to many.
Please sign and support if you may.
