A member asked:
Can people with cataplexy have normal sex life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seems likely: Cataplexy is a sleep disorder syndrome, and does not affect sexual activity directly, so there should be no issue here. However, if there is indeed a problem or the episodes cause too much disruption, a sleep specialist can readily use medications to control most if not all attacks.
