“ Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder characterized by overwhelming drowsiness and sudden attacks of sleep. The condition is most characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness in which a person experiences extreme tiredness and possibly falls asleep during inappropriate times, such as at work or school.” I live on one side of Sturgis and work on the other so I have to drive by everyday. During the days leading up to Rally Week I get to see ever increasing amounts of stupidity happening all around. Last evening I had a gentleman come into my place of work to pick up a prescription for a central nervous stimulant. It seems he suffered from narcolepsy. While he waited he was verbalizing he had been in 33 accidents, his legs had been broken 15(?) times as well as numerous other broken bones. All on his motorcycle. I hear all sorts of things from patients but I don’t know if I believe him about the times he broke his legs because he just walked too good. But I wondered, if you suffered from this condition why would you ride a motorcycle? Death wish? Disregard for the safety of others? Just plain stupid? Like I said, I see stupid on motorcycles all the time so I’m not sure what his deal is. vic
Apropos of absolutely nothing, I had a female sales rep in my regional office years ago who would suddenly nod off right in the middle of lunch with a client. Disconcerting to say the least. Narcolepsy?
dorkolepsy I suffer from Dorkolepsy....uncontrollable fits of stupidity....I do really stupid stuff and have no control over it...Beer makes it worse.
HOLY CRAP. It is amazing he has not killed anyone else! That is as stupid as a former member who rode with epilepsy. He would say, "Oh I don't need my meds, I have not had a seizure in a while." It is amazing they don't kill us all.
I suffer from slackerodorkodickonarcolepsy. Getting on hell of a buzz on with Beck's beer releaves the symptoms, until I get to 2 1/2 times the legal limit... then symptoms are intensified in triplicate. Lots of times the symptoms are at high prominence when the morning alarm goes off and I have to go to work. Sometimes it happens in meetings at work, coworkers suggest I go to the doctor and get a strong prescription for it. I have also found that riding motorcycles at ludicrous speeds generates adrenaline that helps fight it off, but it comes back when that wears off. MD
I broke out in vifferoids the other day - Pure Red they were. I went to see the doctor for some tests. I'm HIVFR positive. Always wear protection when you ride.
Unfortunately, he's not a former member. He just changed his name. DAMN, I want to oust him sooo bad, but I won't.
This is jacked up, do people realize that driving a car is just like piloting a 3,500 pound missle and a motorcycle is just like piloting a 500 pound missle (you get the point right??). I sure hope my family is no where near one of these missles when the operator falls asleep or has a seizure....THATS SCARY!!!!
