About Me Take Action! Sign My Petition! Reform Social Security Disability SSDI and SSI Determination Processes - http://tinyurl.change.org/zXUto Thanks! I won at the hearing level 2006, but got cut off soon after that due to husband making too much $ for SSI/Medicaid. Now hubby left, have to reapply all over again in April! Just got first denial notice... Here we go, reconsideration, again. Not so sure I'll make it for hearing again this time. It is ridiculous.

Wild Fact About Me I got the narcolepsy bad: all the symptoms, and can't drive or work. I also have Fibromyalgia, RA, and Diabetes type 2. Started onsetting with EDS 2000. The sp, HH, and cataplexy EXPLODED all night every night THE WEEK of 9/11, which is when I knew I had a major problem. Life is tough. When my narcolepsy onset: EDS in 2000, REM auxilliary symptoms exploded the WEEK of 9-11, somehow the psychological truama helped my Narcolepsy SP, HH, and Cataplexy onset with horrible severity. I get "hit" with this overwhelming feeling of sleepiness.... That is the sleep attack, which you can fight,but you won't get any relief until you nap for a bit. Cataplexy is triggered in me with laughter, anger, surprize, fear, empathizing with a fictional or real charater or situation, and fighting off a sleep attack/sleepiness.
