Looking for experiences with cataplexy

Mine is super mild. It only happens when I'm seriously startled or laugh too hard for too long. My legs collapse and feel weird for awhile afterwards, my head sometimes falls forward but mostly it's the legs. It's also worse the more tired I am.

With my cataplexy there are days I can’t speak properly or eat cause “my mouth doesn’t want to work”!! Does that make sense? Or my legs won’t move when I stand up and I have to stand there looking stupid til I can get moving and my hands get “stuck” for lack of a better term when I go from a fist and then straighten it out. It’s not all the time but my legs are the worst

I don’t notice my cataplexy unless it’s very extreme. It can be as simple as your face weakening or twitching in your eye or mouth that you may never notice. But some people fall down after strong emotions like laughing or crying or even stress. The most extreme way cataplexy presents can prevent you from moving your body for several hours but I wouldn’t worry as that is very rare but I have unfortunately experienced it.
