Deuce Bigalow here I come...

Today, after spending all day at the neurology clinic getting my brain waves probed in the sleep center, I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy. I feel vindicated somehow. Ever since I was 15 years old (when my symptoms started) my friends and family use to tease me about being lazy and unmotivated. I was constantly telling them that I feel groggy and tired all the time. I really could not help it. Anyway, there were many times that I would fall asleep during the parties when Ken would take me. That is why most of the time I try not to go with him when the parties last to long or else I would seem like a party pooper. I even use to sleep at work or else I would just crash and burn. I am just happy to say that I am not really a lazy and unmotivated... I am just SLEEPY! :P

Hey! You finally did the sleep study! Consider yourself lucky, my dad wasn't diagnosed until he was in his fifties! And he had all the same behaviors.
Are you going to medicate, or just manage it with frequent catnaps?
I will sa that at least one of your future children will probably hate you, though. Children of narcoleptics often end up with myriad sleep disorders themselves (like me).
It does feel good to finally know what's up!!!
YAY!
Congratulations on your diagnosis!
