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.
