I know you listed several myths about the disorder itself and you said you would explain cataplexy later on. I suffer from narcolepsy with cataplexy, it is one of the most frightening experiences I will ever have, and it's for life. Having the feeling of knowing you're going into a sleep attack as your body slowly becomes paralyzed in your speech becomes very slurred. No matter how hard you try to fight it you can't. Thankfully I have several friends and a great boyfriend and kids who understand that I go through this and I cannot control it. And I'm grateful for that. One of my worst experiences, was I was driving my son to school and you have to cross a bridge and I could feel it coming on, I was so scared and I tried not to scare my son. I had to pull over to the side of the road and allow my body to go through this process. As a result my son was late to school, it was unexcused. Another experience I had was in the lobby waiting for my appointment with another doctor. I had a sleep attack come on, when I came out of it, people around me thought that I was on drugs. So for all of you people who read this blog keep in mind that if you ever see someone just all of a sudden look like they are high on drugs, theres a high possibility that they could be having a sleep attack.

I am currently in a Sleep and Wakefulness course, as part of majoring in Psychology and Brock University in Ontario, Canada and would absolutely love to establish contact with you to potentially ask you further questions or get first hand clarification from you on anything that confuses me as I do research for my paper. Would you be willing to help me out? My name is Benjamin MacMillan and would love to hear from you ASAP through my email benjamin.macmillan@gmail.com.

I have chosen this b/c i am in a class with 12 other workers for the state of New Jersey and we are seated in a u shape position. As soon as I saw the layout of the chairs I became mortified and even though some of it may be in my head I have fallen asleep during the training several times and have woken up to see others staring at me. So again I am doing my lesson for the class on sleep disorders starting with things such as insomnia and sleep apnea and ending with Narcolepsy and explaining that I am not just tired or lazy but that I was diagnosed with narcolepsy with cataplexy about 15 years ago and explaining the ordeals of dealing with this diagnoses. I love your blog and would love to talk and share stories.
