I'll bite. I actually figured out I had narcolepsy through a pharmaceutical company's big campaign to push a couple newer drugs they have the patents for. "Are you more than tired?". Well, yes. I'm tired all the time and a couple times a week have bouts where I'm staring at a concrete floor thinking I could just lay down and go to sleep. But I don't have narcolepsy. I'm not that tired. I don't pass out randomly. I can still work long hours at a physical job. I just occasionally have to muster all my willpower not to lay down and sleep in the middle of the store. And I haven't been able to watch an entire movie without falling asleep in the first hour in a very long time.
Took the chintzy little quiz and I figured I might as well ask my doctor. A couple sleep studies and an MSLT test and what do you know?
- avtg 5y agoNarcolepsy is not about passing out randomly, most doze off very quickly when doing simple or repetitive things. If you also have cataplexy there is hardly any question. Read more about it, join a local group the symptoms are very divers.
