So i think i have narcolepsy or excessive day sleepiness. Narcolepsy is
Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder caused by the brain's inability to regulate sleep-wake cycles normally. At various times throughout the day, people with narcolepsy experience fleeting urges to sleep. If the urge becomes overwhelming, patients fall asleep for periods lasting from a few seconds to several minutes. In rare cases, some people may remain asleep for an hour or longer.
I went to a fantastic ENT specialist yesterday and he diagnosed me with possible narcolepsy. I have suffered all my life. Wanting to sleep ALL the time and wherever.
He referred me to a professor at the Epworth, who i'll see in March.i knew it wasn't all in my head. I knew there was an illness for too much sleep!
The ENT specialist had a look in my nose and saw that i had a deviated septum in one side of my nose which will get operated on, but it isn't the cause of the sleep apnoea. He reckons its definitely narcolepsy. I am over the moon, knowing that it will get treated as sleep as dominated my life.
Any other narcoleptics??
