hello. i am writing on behalf of my boyfriend whose health has been rapidly deteriorating over the past 8 months or so. He is desperately seeking answers, but is running out of the physical stamina to do so. Tonight he said he can t go on any longer and wishes to die and I just didnt know where else to turn. His symptoms are getting progressively worse and are extensive, but include extreme fatigue, cognitive deficits, headaches, dizziness, loss of appetite, nausea, shortness of breath, and a sense of unreality. He had a sleep study done a few months ago and was diagnosed with narcolepsy but didnt respond well to the medication (Zyrem). He d also had a finger amputated in December, which is approximately when he started feeling ill. He initially felt his decline in health may have been related to an adverse reaction to the anesthesia, but because his symptoms have persisted and have even worsened, and because new ones have emerged he no longer feels this is the case. We just don t know where to turn or what even to look for. He s terrified. We both are.
