Church. Everyone knows I have narcolepsy but it's still embarrassing. Falling in public. also.
I'm glad the congregation at least knows, though I wish you didn't feel embarrassed about it. It's difficult not to feel that way, I'm sure. Do you have any strategies for preventing falls in public or at least lessening the chance of injury? Thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)
At the club (when I was younger), and while walking down the street.
Hi
. Were you ever hurt, especially when you fell asleep while walking down the street? How scary. Have your symptoms improved with treatment? Wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member)
Under a desk at work. I went to an empty cubicle at work to take a nap during my lunch hour. While there a manager and a coworker came to examine that cubicle for a future purpose. As I lay there I hoped they would not notice me, however, they were audibly startled to see me there! Bummer for me.
I hope they understood it was your lunch hour and that you really needed to sleep. What a shock that must have been! Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
I fell asleep in my car with the driver's side door opened and was awaken by the FedEx delivery person.
yes, I was. The randomness of narcolepsy has led me to call it walking death as I recently told my neurologist. I hope you find treatment soon that allows you to live more fully,
. Warm wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
