| "I LOVE YOU", wow to think that the phrase most people use at least once a day(in my opinion that is) could trigger a cataplexy attack. So, do you really believe that is possible? I mean I know certain emotions bring on Cataplexy but WOW. I don't know what I would do if that was my situation. I hope that doctors would try ... |

| Ok, not a title you will see on any news articles, but sure does catch the eye doesn't it! It makes me wonder what we would find out about unsolvable car accidents.

Within days after the attacks, I began having vivid nightmares, sleep paralysis happening concurrently with hypnologic hallucinations, etc. ... |
