I had the starting symptoms in my 3rd year in college.  I did have something funny that occured to me while I was 15 years old.  I was in gym class, and I was on the rings (it was gymnastic class).  I heard a voice that said "let go".  I let go of the rings, and fell flat on my stomach.  My classmates got upset and ran over to me.  All of them denied saying anything to me.  I didn't know what to think.

     Many years later, when I was diagnosed at 26 years old, I didn't connect the two. Mine is genetic.  My father has it.  My aunt has it. 

     I've always felt lethargic in my teenage years.  But, I attributed that to my late night studying and pulling all-nighters.  The most serious thing that I experienced was my 3rd year in college.  I found an inability to concentrate.  My friends would tell me that they studied 2 hours.  I needed 6 hours and still felt that I couldn't retain anything.  I didn't understand it at first.  But, later on, I realized my lack of concentration was the beginning stages of my illness.
