As a person with severe narcolepsy, I have even been denied work due to my comdition. It makes every day a struggle. For people with a condition likr this, working enough to support themselves sometimes simply isn't an option. If you ask me, that qualifies for disability.May 2nd, 2016Someone from Oakwood, IL signed.

I struggle with the Neurological illness, Narcolepsy, everyday. Most of the time I don't know if life is real or if i am dreaming. I no longer trust myself to go anywhere by myself, let alone drive. I cannot remember anything anymore and I feel my life is in shambles-yet I am still fighting for my disability. It's a real issue and if you don't live with it, then it's very difficult for you to understand what kind of person hell it really is.REPORT COMMENTS

I have Idiopathic Hypersomnia and it is a huge struggle to just get through the day. You have a constant feeling of drowsiness or a feeling like you've been drugged and the need to sleep is overwhelming! There is no way I can work with this condition! It doesn't matter how much sleep you get you are always sleepy/fatigued.REPORT COMMENTS
