Sucks man, I have Narcolepsy too, but THANK GOD I don't have cataplexy as well. I would have lost it a long time ago...It's hard enough just being tired all the time....

It's amazing she even lives her life when she is collapsing all the time. I hope she gets better. It sounds like a bad way to have to live.
