-Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder (a dyssomnia) characterized by overwhelming drowsiness and sudden attacks of sleep. The condition is most characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), in which a person experiences extreme tiredness and possibly falls asleep during inappropriate times, such as at work or school. A narcoleptic will most probably experience disturbed nocturnal sleep, which is often confused with insomnia, and disorder of REM or rapid eye movement sleep.
Cataplexy, a sudden muscular weakness brought on by strong emotions, is a medical condition which may also affect narcoleptics. Often manifesting as muscular weaknesses ranging from a barely perceptible slackening of the facial muscles to the dropping of the jaw or head, weakness at the knees, or a total collapse. Usually only speech is slurred, vision is impaired (double vision, inability to focus), but hearing and awareness remain normal. In some rare cases, an individual’s body becomes paralyzed and muscles will become stiff.
The term narcolepsy derives from the French word narcolepsie created by the French physician Jean-Baptiste-Édouard Gélineau by combining the Greek narke numbness, stupor and lepsis attack, seizure.

“In Search of a Champion: The Young Onset Parkinson’s Project”, Produced by Tena L. Parisoff and Rebecca Bode.

We want to shine light on a disease that until now has been thought to only affect senior citizens. This film shows what actually happens when people in their 20s, 30s and 40s are struck down in the prime of their lives. These years are usually associated with busy new life, beginnings, graduations, careers, weddings, building families and enjoying life. Our film introduces you to a cross section of men and women who are doing their best to live well despite this neurodegenerative disease. You’ll also hear from caregivers, doctors and support groups who are trying to improve the quality of life for the Parkinson’s patient.

Our hopes are that after viewing our documentary you will have a greater understanding of young onset Parkinson’s disease. We encourage you to join our efforts to find the cure. We are In Search of a Champion to defeat this illness in our generation.

In memory of the youngest member of this documentary Shauna Bode who passed away in August of 2007.
