I was 17 when I had my first episode in 1990. I wasn’t diagnosed until 1993.

I was 17 when I had my horse riding accident, and have been sleeping abnormally since then - four years ago.

I started having some more minor episodes and symptoms when I was ten but didn’t really get hit hard until I was about 13-14 and wasn’t diagnosed until 17 just recently.
