I can remember first symptoms from the second grade, I was 9 years old (1986) and I started to fall asleep in my piano lessons. And I also saw horrible nightmares... I got upset very easily and I was also aggressive if my mother try to wake me up. I was diagnosed in 1998 after sleeping most of my school . At the moment I have 2 teenage son's and we are living in countryside. I have graduated BBA and Master of Law. I courage all people who suffer narcolepsy to educate themselves and try to have some work. I exercise 4-5 times a week and it helps me to manage sleepiness and getting too much weight.
Have strength with your disease and never give up
