About me

Location	Midwest
Introduction	I'm a mother of two young children. I work full-time and have an active lifestyle. And I'm narcoleptic. I did the night-time test, followed my the MSLT in June 2002 and was shortly diagnosed with Narcolepsy. But I didn't believe it, it had to be something else. Not enough iron, needs more exercise, a more exciting job, etc. I pretty much assumed my fancy Sleep Dr. just wanted more Narc. statistics for her research study. So I got the blood test, you know the one that can't confirm anything but if you test positive and they suspect Narc. then its a done deal...whatever. I still didn't believe. Then about 2 years ago, the cataplexy started. Just a little, nothing "REALLY" dramatic, just the loss of time/space feeling after I say something hilarious or really important to me. And so I'm starting to believe maybe there is something to all this. I guess I can't deny it. I am a funny girl, and I hate not "enjoying the moment" when I come up with a zinger. I hate that brief lapse of time/space that follows anything funny or deeply meaningful I say. I hate it.
