My fight with the Demon Disease

Hello I have struggled for 7 years but only diagnosed in 2012...And was that ever the best thing in my.life I thought I was going crazy....But little did I know this was going to be a hard fight...The normal I knew was gone...Of coarse I thought many times why me??? How can I fix this??? But this was something I am stuck with...A life long sentence of swallowing 9 plus pills a day...Damn this demon, as many of us know it does take away our lives...I know we can fight it I have but in the end we suffer the results... If we follow a few simple little routines and stay to a good sleep schedule have our naps we can make it through a day instead of just sleeping it away. The word "can't " is not for me I now just have to take longer to do something or try a different way..the worse for me is the cataplexy that has taken alot away...since we know it is set off by emotion mine started with laughing , and let ne tell yah that's what I loved to do I was the lure of the party...now I fall.....but my new meds have helped but like we all know our bodies get use to that dose and now have to change so our life is always going to be changing let's hope it us for the good....we all struggle daily and fight within our selves to get through a day...just try to stay positive and if you don't accomplish something well tomorrow is another day and be happy with what you have done...
