well i do appreciate that you made this video...and i'm sure your hearts were in the right place. i have narcolepsy...and i just wanted to let you know when narcoleptics collapse we are not sleeping...therefore we do not snore when we collapse. it is a condition called catoplexy. it looks as though we are sleeping, but we are aware of everything around us...we are just unable to move. was this a school project?

[KendoGemini]

Yes, it was.

I, along with everyone involved in the video, apologize any offensiveness you might have taken.

Just my first impression that this video was a "fake". The so-called doctor had to read her medical info from a paper, which real doctors already know the facts. They also perform lots of tests (EEG & skull X-rays) before they diagnose narcolepsy.

And they do not hand you the RX for stimulant drugs lightly. Most of those are class II narcotics, which are severely restricted. Limited in amounts given. And the pharmacist will watch carefully to see the rules are followed.

Note to the ppl in here making weight jokes. Narcoleptic people lack the energy to spend the full time needed to in the gym to get the fitness level they need. Do your research and be a little more understanding please.

@chuckbassislife Yeah, I'm American. If I lived 5 miles north I'd be in Canada, but I got to pay for all my lab tests instead, lol. I'm not complaining though, my life is wonderful now!

[chuckbassislife]

@c0unterph0bia: man, i pretty much went through all the same stuff as you, aside from the possessed part.

are you american?

im just wondering because in canada, where i live, i didn't have to pay for any of the lab tests.
