Reliable sources say that comes from the Greek Narke, "torpor" and Lepsis 'possession'. y hasta rechazada porque más de una persona la confunden (sí, la confunden) con narcotraficante, narcodependencia y demás variantes. This includes what happens when a person has Narcolepsy and I will not be me who will change the name to a disease but socially, is a confusing word and even rejected because more than one person's mistake (yes, confusing) with drug trafficking, drug dependence and other variants. (At least in Argentina)
Calling upon the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, Argentina, to a hospital to get the "certified" by the person answering the phone said, "do not treat addictions"
Returning to the Greeks and say that the "stupor" is the result of fragmented sleep at night may be the appropriate name. que no la engloba esta palabra confusa. Hypersomnia as a symptom and possession by sleep paralysis (vigilia-sueño/sueño/vigilia) but we have not cataplexy that includes the word confused.
I like the clarity with syndromes that accompany the name of a disease discovered and here I think Gelineau is lost in the shadows as one of our frequent nightmares lucid dreams. And the credit goes to the good doctor!
This great man discovered it only now in 2012 is spreading throughout the world. Countries like Israel who already diagnosed and medicated in the '60s and U.S. universities did something similar. In Europe Latin America is well known but stay and was adrift.
I would love to know why medical students do not delve into the subject a few minutes. . It is true that a general practitioner can not know every disease, but we are helpless in an emergency if we reach a guard with a severe cataplexy in public streets. Admitted knowing the name but not its symptoms and just like that epilepsy is a disease that may require attention in a watch. Rulers of the Ministries of Health and Education, a little attention to us before we should reach the INADI
Gelineau and said
It is characterized by the presence of hits of daytime sleepiness caused by a failure of REM sleep architecture and arousals permanent night. There may be
Cataplejías (extreme muscle paralysis or weakness in part or whole body),
Sleep paralysis is often accompanied by,
Hypnagogic hallucinations (visions in sleep-wake transition) hypnopompic (sleep-wake transition).
y un mail ( sobre el mapa que abrirás en el link de aquí abajo) asi te contactas con alguien cercano a tu ciudad, país, pueblo que habites y además sabremos cuántos estamos diagnosticados . Let the map of the disease, you can put your name or nickname and an email (on the map that will open the link below) so you contact someone close to your city, country, people settle down and also know how many are diagnosed . You must put a mail or a name that does not overlap with whom resides in the same city.

Oh Bella, always in the key ... if even I wrote a story with this theme! When you open your mouth to tell at a glance that you have NAR-CO-LEP-SIA, cleverly your brainiac doubt, recalculate and say: I have a sleep disorder, and blah blah. No wonder, because if empezás on the other hand, people stay with that word in the head and understands nothing. Still, even if you get tired of explaining, no one understands you, right? Bella, I love you and send you a big kiss. And I'm going because I grabbed a "Narke" terrible ... greetings to all. Lullaby
