Lupus and Memory Loss

I have known of my Lupus and have been in a constant flare up for 2 years and 11 months.
My sleep patterns are destroying my life and they are way too strong to fight them. I actually sleep walk and I now have Narcolepsy!!!!!!
Yesterday morning I got up, got dressed, left the house (don't know where I was going) got in my newish car and made it down the main road, not even a mile, and I side swiped everything on the passenger side of the road, I demolished the exterior of my car.
I barely, I mean barely remember any of this happening. I think that I was sleep walking. Has anyone had anything this horrific happen to them?
I am going to sell the car as is immediately and stop driving as well (to that I did much anyway).

Agree with Joy. You should definitely see a doctor. This is a very dangerous situation you describe. Even if you stop driving, there are so many other dangerous (even life threatening) things you might do. I urge you to see a sleep specialist. Good Luck!

Welcome to our forum Nowwhat. First I also agree that you need to see a neurologist who specializes in sleep disorders- immediately. Sleep studies are very expensive, but in your case even if insurance doesn't cover all of it, you must have one.

Also if you are seeing a rheumatologist for your lupus and continue to flare, I suggest you find another rheumatologist. I have had lupus for 10 years and saw 3 rheumatologists before I felt comfortable with my treatment regiment and I may go back to a previous rheumy.
