I was diagnosed at 15, symptoms started at 13. Those were by far the worst years of my life. Getting Diagnosed, finding out was wrong with me was the best day of my life. Every year not diagnosed is a nightmare, I am blessed it was only 2 for me
Welcome to the community,
! What a relief that must have been to get a diagnosis. So many people with narcolepsy go through childhood and the teen years being told they are lazy or exaggerating or depressed. Did you parents realize something was wrong and seek out help or did you push for help on your own? Thanks for being here and for chiming in. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
