First things first... Who am I? Well I am a 26 year old mother of two beautiful girls and wife to a great catch! I'm not sure if you could say I have the most interesting of lives but I can say I make it as interesting as possible. I'm hoping by doing this blog I might be able to lessen some of the stress that comes with this thing I have.... You know narcolepsy.
So what is Narcolepsy?
Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder that affects the control of sleep and wakefulness. Basically there are cells in your brain that have died. Narcolepsy effects every aspect of your life. It's a lifelong neurological disorder where the person affected suffers from a lack of sleep. A normal person would have to go approximately 72 hours without sleep to catch a glimpse of every day life for a narcoleptic.
Then there's this whole thing called cataplexy, it's a bunch of nonsense. The easiest way to explain this would be too ask you to imagine a person laughing so hard at their knees buckle. Now imagine the knee buckling but the whole body. Certain emotions can cause your body to become temporarily paralyzed. This can be as severe is falling over from a standing position and Lasting for several minutes to is minimal as your knees buckling.
Over all its some pretty serious stuff which as you can imagine sometimes gets in the way of being happy, productive, kind, rational...... You can add more as you think they apply.
