PCP's and narcolepsy

I have found that the majority of PCP's do not want to learn about narcolepsy. It is faster and easier to tell someone they are depressed and give them pills that don't help. I had no idea the things happening to me all of my life had anything to do with any disease, much less narcolepsy. The symptoms I had were too embarrassing to tell a doctor except for the sleepiness. I feared the doctor would tell me I was crazy! Hallucinations, sleep paralysis, cataplexy, brain fog, etc. etc. After finally learning I had narcolepsy, I tried educating my doctor and found she was just not interested. After that, I learned that doctors don't believe they will ever run into a patient that has narcolepsy with no diagnosis. I worked in a hospital and was able to speak with quite a lot of doctors. Somehow, we need to get the word out so they will pay attention! We also need public awareness so that no one is too embarrassed to inform their doctors of their symptoms!
