Service Dog

I recently got diagnosed with Narcolepsy type 2 and still fall asleep through 2 daily stimulants. I've done some research and was just wondering if anyone had a narcolepsy service dog, what the process was to do that, and if it was something worth doing. Did it improve your quality of life? Did it help you manage your symptoms?

  1. Hi friend I actually got a emotional support animal but a cat. My cat does NOT help me lmao he literally sleeps with me BUT he do slap me awake after about 20 minutes of napping so I guess that counts? But u do qualify for a emotional support animal I literally got one from my sleep doctor u can ask yours to write u one
