born to sleep
by: .marion on Mon, Oct 27 2008

i thought all narcoleptics were born with the disorder until the programs on television stated other wise.looking back i know i was treated as a normal child although i did realise as i got older no one else around me fell asleep as i did,but it never really bothered me,my life to me was as normal as it had always been i just worked around it,i got maried had 5 children never droped any of them ,got divorced i am now married a third time to a wonderfull man who i educated on what was my understanding of my disorder ,i do now believe after all those programs that having it from birth i have learned to controle attacks of cataplexy , only problem is i have never been to a sleep centre to have all these things tested ,just a word to new narcoleptics ,so you nod off ,you have to come to terms your now dissabled but you are still the same person you have always been,the people who love you will not change and the friends you have will prove there worth if they stick around , the only one who will limit what you do is your self
