narcolepsy?

[Reebok]

Does anyone here have/know anyone who has narcolepsy?

I may have it and am looking for more info/support plus I also would like to know how it affects (if at all) bbing.

Thanks

Yes, I was hoping for some advice from someone who had experienced this first hand.

Thanks.

Hopefully I can get my life together now! I thought I was just lazy or something.

I have a degree though which I think is remarkable when I realise I spent most of my lectures unconscious!

What makes you think you have it?

I dated a guy who would just nod off, in a second, even in a movie. I think he had sleep apnea though.

I have had a t least 2 attacks per day since the age of 14 yrs. I can't fight the attacks and I experience total muscular relaxation throughout my body during the attacks. Afterwards I am fine.

I just put it down to being a teenager, all my friends thought it most amusing which continued into my first 'career' position.

It is now getting in the way of my career.

Cockdezl has stated a few times on the boards that he suffers from narcolepsy as well. You may want to give him a PM or maybe he'll see this thread. You could always start a thread on the "life Extension Board" titled something along the lines of...

"Need help with Narcolepsy (COCKDEZL?)"

That board is so slow moving that even if he doesn't see it right away, it will still be there for a while in case he does venture over there.
These are just some ideas...

So this is where REEBOK got the idea to ask me!!! I had the same symptoms, except I don't have the cataplectic episodes you describe.."total muscular relaxation", which is due to the brain essentially disconnecting from its control of muscle tone.

I don't know how I made it through high school, college and how I am still living, what with all the long drives I have made. I truly think that I learned how to drive asleep.
