Narcolepsy Support Group
A sleep disorder (somnipathy) is a disorder in the sleep patterns of a person or animal. Some sleep disorders can interfere with mental and emotional function. If you are having trouble falling asleep or having some other kind of sleep disturbance, this group is for you.
I'm only fifteen and I have found that trying to keep a steady boyfriend and even have friends with narcolepsy is nearly impossible. I have a boyfriend who I have been dating on and off since before I was even diagnosed anhe has always been there for me but lately he has been getting upset with me about how I never wanna leave the house and because we hardly see eachother. Ive tried the best I can to get him to understand that I have Narcolepsy and cant go out at much as other people my age do, but everytime I mention my narcolepsy he looks annoyed and acts like im just using the disorder as an excuse to not go out with him and be anti-social. Does anyone know how I can get him to understand and exept the fact that I have a disorder? I really dont want to break up with him but I know I cant be with him if he cant exept me.

it is unfortunate and very familiar, maybe you have to accept that he is not gonnna get it and move on. Maybe you could get him on here to see how other people get on so he understands a bit more of what you are going through. depends how keen he is i suppose! but it is one way of finding out! good luck, keep me posted!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
