Have you felt stigma because of your narcolepsy?
Sometimes narcolepsy can have stigma that comes with it; some might confuse it with laziness or lack of time management for sleep.
What stigma's have you experienced because of your narcolepsy?
I constantly experience stigma! Most people think I am lazy, unstructured, or that my life is just a mess.
Thank you for mentioning wearing a medical bracelet. Never thought of this.
I ended up having a seizure after 10 years. My friends thought I was having a stroke but I was unable to tell them it was cataplexy.
That must have been scary for you,
, especially since you couldn't communicate with them. Do those closest to you understand now or do you wear a medical ID bracelet? Thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)
