  1. I found it hard to date with NARCOLEPSY with cataplexy and ADHD.

    1. That is a difficult combination, , but I hope people will understand that your health conditions don't define you. If they are intimated, they don't deserve you. 😀 Gentle hugs. - Lori (Team Member)

  2. Yes, that seems ideal, but I trust that God will bless me with the right person when the time is right. 😉
    Thanks Lori. 🫶🏾

    1. I'm beginning to wonder if it will be best for me to date another narcoleptic. 🤔🤔🤔

      1. It would be nice to have a partner who truly understands, wouldn't it, ? We do have some people in this community whose partners also have narcolepsy. It would be interesting to hear more about how their relationships work. Wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member)
