About Me
Cataplexy and narcolepsy have created barriers all my life. Making and keeping friends is difficult. I have wrecked all my cars. DS give me hope and I love it. I have severe boundary issues. I cannot bear being touched and yet long for a friend to hold hands even if that sounds crazy.

Close Narcolepsy
I knew something was wrong with me for years. Starting having catapelexy at19. It was not diagnosed for years, when I finally got a polysomnigram and lots of car wrecks. Thank God I didnt hurt anyone but me. I am sad it took so long to get a diagnosis. Doctors have made me think I am crazy. Functioning is still really hard. I just pray to be able to work and keep going.

i have been experiencing low sodium, dehydration, muscle cramps, My dr put me in the hosp. when my sodium fell to 112. He had me tested for addisons, with the rapid acth test and several random cortisol levels. The random cortorsols came back within range for addisons,but the rapid stimulation did not indicate addisons, i forget the numbers. Is it possible to be misdiagnosed. Any advice? I still have all the symptoms. Thanks
