Narcolepsy

This week in class we saw a video about a guy called
Mohamed. Mohamed was no average person; he had a rare case of narcolepsy.
According to http://www.medicinenet.com/narcolepsy/article.htm "Narcolepsy
is a chronic disease of the central nervous system. Excessive daytime
sleepiness (EDS) is the main symptom and is present in 100% of patients with
narcolepsy" The guy called Mohamed lived in an abnormal environment in
London. He would not leave his house because he would fall in a REM sleep anywhere
and at any time. He would suddenly just snap into a sleep for at least 50 times
a day. This is a hard way to live when your in your mid-forties. If I had this
opsered condition I would cry every day and live a miserable life. As Mohamed
did, I would not leave in my house or I would go out in a wheel chair to
prevent getting hurt when I fall asleep. I could also ask for help or look for
special people that could treat this problem. In conclusion in class this week
we saw a video about a guy called Mohamed. Mohamed was no average person; he
had a rare case of narcolepsy. This is no easy life; I wish I would not get it.
