Treatments for Narcolepsy

Unfortunately there is NO cure for Narcolepsy so that means once you get it there's no getting rid of it. I've had Narcolepsy for 5 or 6 whole years and I'm only 11 years old so I've practically gotten used to it. But you can't ignore the possibility that one day there could come out a cure for Narcolepsy but a cure doesn't completely stop Narcolepsy it just makes it easier to live with, I mean like you feel like you don't have it anymore but you still do. I'm not saying that a cure doesn't help Narcolepsy but I'm also saying it doesn't completely cure it either. Narcolepsy isn't as bad as some others medical conditions but it isn't the best either. If you have Narcolepsy you should be grateful that it's not anything worse. But for me in my opinion I would have had a better life then I'm having now but like I said once you gotten it there's no getting rid of it. I've lived with Narcolepsy for 5 or 6 whole years like I said but that doesn't mean that I was born with it, so I know what it's like to be completely normal and to have Narcolepsy so I kind of have both perspectives. I'm actually not sure if you can be born with Narcolepsy and or Cataplexy but I don't think you can. I hope someone out there will be able to find a cure for Narcolepsy one day. I hope that this has helped you understand Narcolepsy a bit better. Bye

Dangerous Situations

Dangerous situations can be much more dangerous for people with Narcolepsy and especially Cataplexy. I bet you're asking why is Dangerous situations much more dangerous for people with Narcolepsy and Cataplexy well that's why I'm here to tell you.

Some situations are more dangerous than others like driving a car is much more dangerous than falling and hurting yourself. I can't tell you which one is more dangerous because I'm only 11 years old so I haven't driven a car yet but I'm pretty sure that driving a car while sleeping is much more dangerous than falling down and hurting yourself but on the other hand falling is still a dangerous situation because if you fall from a high height it can be very dangerous but if you just fall down the stairs it's not more of an issue. But if you have Narcolepsy you can't let it keep you down ( do you get my pun) because you'll never enjoy the things you have in life. I've told you quite a few times that I'm 11 years old, right? Yep, so I'm 11 and not many people with Narcolepsy are kids it's mostly adults but that doesn't mean that there aren't any other kids with Narcolepsy and Cataplexy. I try my best to keep up my enthusiasm in my life and because I'm this young it's little tricky but I like I said I try my best. Remember it doesn't matter if you're young like me or older with Narcolepsy like some other people, you're right there aren't many people out there with Narcolepsy but if you just open your eyes and look around people with Narcolepsy can be all around you.
