Posted by girlfriend on July 04, 2001 at 10:48:57:

Hello everyone,
I am dating someone who I really care about and one of the things about him is that he has narcolepsy. I have been doing a fair amount of reading on the subject so that I can understand it better. What I am wondering is there anything that I can do to help me understand it better. Should I feel guilty that it seems when I spend the night he does not sleep very well. He says that it is not me, but I still feel that I must disturbe him. And how would be a good way to discuss driving. I am a nervous passanger to start with (way to many accients with other driving) and for the most part if he is driving and becomes tried he will get me to drive, but than say we are a few KM from home and I can see that he is knodding off and will ask if he wants me to drive. I do not like this. because he will dose almost. I do trust him but what is wrong with pulling over even if it is a few minutes from home? He is being stubborn about it and I want to talk to him without hurting his feelings and he already this I am too nervous anyway. Maybe I am just ranting. So does anyone have ideas about what makes for good support from someone without narcolepsy?
