Hi
. I can see why your symptoms might make college difficult and lead to a diagnosis. Did you get much support from your professors? Were you able to finish? Wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member)

Hi
. I see you're new here. Welcome! That is a long journey. Have you seen many changes in narcolepsy treatment or awareness since you were diagnosed? Warm wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
Diagnosed at 37, had it since I was 9 or 10. Took years to finally get a doctor that sent me to a sleep specialist for testing. Many other diagnoses, mostly psychological ones. 62 now and very grateful it was caught when it was.
