Narcolepsy
January 21, 2020

Do you ever hear the word Narcolepsy bantered about and wonder what it means? Well, I can share my experience with you. I lived with with husband who had the sleep disorder for over 20 plus years. It is important that folks know about it just in case they run into a family member or friend who may have it and not realize they do. The sleep disorder itself is not life threatening , but if you drive and have any of the symptoms, it could be fatal.

There are various levels of it; some more severe. Many can acquire the disorder in their teens. My husband was in his 40s when it first showed up. Many people think that it is similar to epilepsy, but it is not. Yes, it is a neurological disorder, can be treated with medications and help with sleep patterns.

I could go into a lot of detail here, however, I have written an article that I would love to share:

I hope you will take the time and give it look. You may find it helpful for yourself, a family member or friend.

Blessings,

Seabreeze
