What happens if I'm diagnosed with narcolepsy?


Would I lose my license? What would I do then, do they have some kind of program that gets me to where I need to go? I can't quit my job because they take my license away because of narcolepsy...thats crazy! Sorry, I have an appointment on the 21st but I'm starting to freak out a little.

You could loose your license. It depends on what the dr. says and how severe it is. You can always take the bus or other forms of public transportation. You might want to look in to company carpooling. If you have been at your job long enough you can look into social security or going on disability. But that would be your last resort.
