    I have a wonderful friend whose granddaughter has this dibiltating disease and know first hand the misconceptions people have about this disease. She has gone from a vibrant young girl to one who is withdrawn and unable to do what most teenagers love to do.

    I have a family member diagnosed with narcolepsy. It cost her a job, even though the employee tried to work with her at first. It almost cost her her marriage.. Until proof became inevitable that it was uncontrollable. Ingrid Hudnall Beckwith, WV signed

    I have a friend that has ADHD and gets disability, and I have narcolepsy that makes my time awake extremely precious to me and my family. I have kids that are ADHD and I'd rather have that then this SILENT DISEASE NARCOLEPSY.

    It is a Daily struggle for Narcoleptic's to try and have a somewhat normal life, and when you add fighting to work and stay awake while doing it takes what ever is left and it leaves you to watch your children grow up and missing the milestones and time you cant get back!!!
