    1. Hi . Are you finding it difficult to even try dating with narcolepsy? If so, you'll find that plenty of people here can relate. It's not impossible, but any means though. Hopefully, the support you find here will help. Warmly, Lori (Team Member)

  2. 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)

  3. 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)
