I am married to the most beautiful kind loving wife a man could ever want. I didn't understand or even try to find out how and why my wife feels and acts the way she does towards me because of her narcolepsy condition. I constantly got upset with her and made her feel like she was the problem not the condition. I told her I had enough of the way she was when she had a bad day and how there was no interaction on any level between us, she had bad days and then there were worse days.
I now know what it means when they say you don't know what you've got till it's gone.
To all the partners and children or loved ones who have some with narcolepsy and/or similar conditions, please take my advice do some research learn about the condition and give them all the love and support they need, even if they push you away it's not there fault they need all the love, support, patience and understanding you can give.
