| Anyone with Narcolepsy have these symptoms?
Hi!
I'm in the middle of being diagnosed for my problems. I had EEG yesterday to see if I'm having sleep seizures, results not in yet. Last night doctor called to say he suspects I have narcolepsy w/ sleep paralysis & hypnogogic hallucinations.
I had 5 fever induced seizures as baby. Then as teenager I had sleep paralysis during a nap. Then as adult, I've had 3 episodes of sleep paralysis upon awakening, 1 of the 3 with VERY real hallucinations. (Until now, I always thought these were seizures until doctor told me about sleep paralysis last night.)
Anyways, past 4 years I've been getting worse with other symptoms. Almost daily I have a wierd feeling in my head...feels like a hurt brain, drugged feeling...I take no drugs. I'm also slightly dizzy, tired and get headaches. My short term memory is at an all time low.
Then, every few weeks I go into what I call my "funk". I wake up with all the above symptoms plus am EXTREMELY tired. My arms are week, I feel heavy, and my vision is very blurry. The "funk" is real bad for about 3 days and then I go back to my normal tired, wierd brained self. Does this sound familiar to any of you? Thank you all in advance for your time and help!
Sincerely, Sonja
