I was today years old when I learned about Cataplexy.
It’s a neurological condition that’s characterized by a sudden but temporary loss of muscle control triggered by strong emotions like laughter, surprise, or excitement. During an episode, the person remains conscious but experiences muscle weakness that can range from mild, like drooping eyelids, to severe, like collapsing to the floor. People with some types of narcolepsy also have cataplexy. Imagine being in danger of falling down every time you laugh! 😳😳😳
