Narcolepsy

Even though I have struggled with EDS (excessive daytime sleepiness) for years, I was just diagnosed with narcolepsy 2 (without cataplexy). Is there anyone here that has struggled with this diagnosis? Or is there a different group I should join?

Thanks! I hope you all are having a wonderful day so far :)
