This is about Billie who is suffering from "cataplexy: the do not laugh disease"

If you’re one of the bubbly natured individuals who love to crack jokes and laugh at other's ones without fainting literally, then you are absolutely blessed not to suffer from the “no laugh disease”.

Billie Hodgson (17) suffers from a strange disease called “cataplexy”. Whenever she feels strong emotions or laughs, she suffers from sudden muscle weakness or paralysis and she faints. She has lost control on the emotional control of her brain and feels every emotion more intensely than it actually is. 

Billie first experienced cataplexy at the age of 14, when she suddenly fainted while laughing at something. Billie is advised by the doctors to keep out of her bubbly friends in case to avoid cataplexy. Also she prefers to keep herself out of the funny situations.

Being a bubbly individual herself she says that it is very hard to imagine that she will not be able to laugh again
