Lately I’ve seen so many people refer to narcolepsy or cataplexy as “N’ or “C”. Why do we do this? I mean are the words that hard to say?

I can understand the need for abbreviation, I guess.

When my Dad passed away from Cancer a couple years ago. We never said…”it”. We refered to it as “The Big C”. The disease we shall not speak of.

Maybe that’s why I have trouble with it. Maybe because the last “C” didn’t make me fall to the ground when I laughed. Maybe the last “C” killed my Dad.

So MAYBE we should have our own…abbreviation. Any ideas?
