Doctors never take me seriously! I've been suffering unnecessarily

[Neenee Jellybeanie]

My entire life, i've had sleeping problems. It's been dismissed as bad sleep hygiene, being out of rhythmn etc. I saw a thing about sleep disorders on Oprah of all places lol, and stumbled across something interesting: sleep paralysis.

I have this ALL THE TIME. Not every single night but very often. That is not normal! I didn't even know this wasn't normal until today. So judging by how often I have this, plus other things in my sleep, it's entirely possible that I have narcolepsy (which doesn't necessarily mean you fall asleep while doing normal things like is dramatically portrayed in movies and such). I am so angry!! There are over 80 sleep disorders and since I'm still awake after midnight after 19 years of problems, I think it's pretty safe to assume I have one of them, I'm not just lazy and enjoy sleeping in!



Why did no one listen to me?!

I've changed Doctors, I have an appointment on Thursday, and I am going to keep changing Drs until SOMEONE refers me to a sleep specialist, which should've happened YEARS ago.
