So if I had met my work mates at the pub tonight and was sharing stories from the day, this is the story I'd share:
Today my Narcolepsy was particularly bad and I was having more hallucinations than usual. Mostly either hearing or 'seeing' people walk up behind me. But when I turn to see what they want, of course, they're not there.
This was happening all afternoon and I was getting pretty tired of it (pun intended wink emoticon ). Toward the end of the day it happened again. So I just ignored it and kept working...until she bent down right next to my face and said, "Excuse me."
Oops!!!!!!!!!!
Diagnosed with Narcolepsy in September 2011. I have yet to meet another Narcoleptic in person. Having a rare disease can make you feel very alone with no one who can relate to your challenges. I eventually found other people with Narcolepsy (PWN) online. It was such a relief to find others and get practical information about living with Narcolepsy. I wanted to contribute to the community as well. I hope to spread awareness to non-PWNs and share encouragement with my fellow PWNs.
