How did all start?
I fell asleep in school as a child and had terrible vivid LOUD dreams and “passed out” which I know now to be cataplexy

Took me 20 years before a dr recognized what was happening.
What has been the most useful thing for you so far?
Stimulants, Naps and marijuana
What have been your biggest difficulties?
Maintaining relationships
How has your social and family environment reacted? Have your social or family relationships changed?
Yes I have ZERO

No church no movies and no driving without Aderal

Same as the past lol
So far, which years have been the best years in your life? What have you done during them?
Now because my kids are grown and gone
What would you like to do if you didn’t have your condition?
Wow. Never thought of that. Maybe watch a tv show in one sitting? Lol
If you had to describe your life in a sentence, what would it be?
A Lazy and unmotivated woman finds out from a dr she’s not a lazy unmotivated woman
Finally, what advice would you give to a person in a similar situation?
