Explaining Narcolepsy to Others
How do you explain narcolepsy to others in your life? Did you share your diagnosis right away or wait?
Right away
I relate well with above explanation.
Imagine being misunderstood at home, office and in class.It affects my REM stage and I'm not getting in that stage to where a person s mind shuts down/off
That's a good explanation,
. Most people seem to be familiar with REM sleep. Thanks for chiming in! - Lori (Team Member)
I don't. Most everyone has no clue about it.
Hi
. We get it. Narcolepsy is exhausting enough by itself. It doesn't leave much energy for educating those who are new to it. Do those closest to you understand? Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
