Hello, pat, Hello all
Thank you pat for your help i appreciate it so much. Pat is right, i am trying to convey us in a different light then we get viewed by non narcoleptics. It is not just being sleepy or loosing your muscle tone. I must accurately the express the on going agony that we experience in our daily lives. Situations that others would not even think about as a "struggle". A good example i like that i have found on here is in the stories section. He had to be in a wheel chair because of cataplexy. Every time one of his children would say his name it would send him into a attack. Just that little of emotion triggard by the voice of his children saying his name. That is something others do not have to worry about. So i guess i need people who have had there lives stolen from them by this disorder. Either directly stolen(car crash from falling asleep) or slowly stolen each day(guy in wheel chair).
I have to convince these people that Narcolepsy awareness is just as important to fund as epilepsy or diabetes eccc.
