    I just read your post on the National Sleep Foundations website, and WOW! I do the slapping thing! I started laugh-crying when I read that. I am getting a sleep study done here shortly, and I am hoping they find out EXACTLY why I am so tired. I fear it is narcolepsy, which is scary because there is no cure. I’ve already taken adderall and adipex, both of which worked only for a few months. Its just scary to think that I’ll be like this for the rest of my life. Its been 10 years since I started experiencing EDS and its been a very sleep decade. Its nice to know there are other people out there that have experienced the same thing!

      Hi Katie, I hope the sleep study goes well and you find answers soon. I promise it gets more manageable with time. Sending wakefulness and smiles your way, Julie

    Just diagnosed in December and haven’t really met anyone else with diagnosed. I live in Florida so I’ll be there and am super excited!

      Alison, Looking forward to meeting you soon!

    Hi Julie! I have family in Miami who unfortunately can’t make it, but they would still like to donate. Is there a link that I can send them?
    Thanks!

    I ordered your book last week and received it on Wednesday. I never sat it down once I started it! I wish there was more for me to read!! I have never felt more normal and apart of something after reading your book. It was amazing how many things we have in common. I’m so happy to see that you are waking up the invisible illness. Thank you for sharing your life with us! You have inspired me to not let narcolepsy run my life. I am newly diagnosed about 8 months ago, so I’m still in that denial phase. But your site is a huge help!!! Thank You!!!

    Sad I missed this by hours. I live in Tampa and saw Project Sleep walk this morning on Bay news 9. I wish I had known. It would have been fantastic to meet others with narcolepsy with cataplexy. I’m glad I now know and look forward to future participation!

      Jamie- so sorry you missed the event this year but we will certainly look forward to seeing you at next year’s event! Also, we hope to do some more casual meet ups for folks in the Tampa Bay Area throughout the year too. Please join Project Sleep’s mailing list for updates. http://www.project-sleep.com
