How can I manage living with narcolepsy?
I am a 23 year old female who has naroclepsy, catiplexy, anxiety, and depression. I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy at the age of 14. Although; I believe I had narcolepsy much sooner than that. This disorder has caused me the other disorders stated above. I have a very hard time accepting the fact that I need help in almost every aspect of my life. Transportation, cooking, cleaning, managing money, schedualing and keeping doctors appointments is only half the battle. There is a hate that grows in me for myself and narcolepsy. I can complain all day long, but i thank god that I am what he has made me.
My Question is: Is there any help in Cleveland Ohio for people like me? I really want to get better my my family .
Thanks for your question Ms. Martin. First, I thought you might be interested in reading our material on Understanding Narcolepsy. Then you will find a list of web resources that focus on narcolepsy. Most are national organization who will have local chapters in most major cities.
Hope this helps and all the best, sue
