About this meeting
All are invited to attend, listen in, and participate as needed in this series. While these meetings are geared for those newly diagnosed, seeking diagnosis, as well as those new to narcolepsy support meetings, anyone who wants to learn more about N/IH is welcome! Narcolepsy "veterans" are also invited to share their stories and perspectives. Having a Narcolepsy or Idiopathic Hypersomnia diagnosis is life altering. We’re here to help you get your bearings, help you understand which questions to ask, and make sure you have whatever you need to advocate for yourself no matter where you are in your N/IH journey.
