Daily Narcolepsy Challenges
What are some of the biggest challenges you face in managing your narcolepsy on a daily basis? From maintaining a sleep schedule to dealing with medication side effects, what narcolepsy challenges do you face on a day-to-day basis?
Since I just diagnosed a few months ago, the biggest challenge for me is to appear "normal" at work or social event, and still find it hard to explaining to people I trust about my condition. I feel pressured myself to trying to stay awake at the office even though I feel so sleepy. Sometimes it's really frustrating because I'm afraid how other people might see me. But so far people who understand me never see me badly. Narcolepsy is the part that I'm still learning to accept.
