Yes, seriously, the site is called Babe. This is an awareness article about ME featuring L.A. Cooper.
It started at the age of 10, when L.A. caught a common stomach bug. She began sleeping for 20 hours a day, waking up to be “violently sick”, then falling back to sleep. No one knew what was wrong with her, and she was diagnosed and medicated for countless illnesses she didn’t have.
