TD - my husband has a very narrow airway, and that combined with a small, set back lower jaw is the primary cause of his sleep apnoea.

He had a soft tissue xray done of his throat, and it was around 1/2 the size of a normal adults when standing, and when we sleep our muscles relax and it narrows (especially made worse by being very overweight.. but my husband was underweight when diagnosed, so it took the xray and sleep study for drs to believe he had sleep apnoea, and not just bad snoring)... so basically he had no chance of not having apnoeas.

Have you had xrays done of your throat etc?

Sorry if i sounded like i was doubting the narcolepsy thing, i didn't realise that that was what the dr actually told you. When are you seeing the proffessor?

Deb - speaking of strange things and sleep, for years and years now people tell me they wake me up un the night and the morning and i will sit up with my eyes open and have a conversation with them, but in the morning i will have no recolection of it what-so-ever... i talk in my sleep a lot also. I never used to beleive my friends (they used to do it to me on school camp to ask me things about boys etc, and i thought they were making it up), but it used to happen with my dad waking me up in the morning with a glass of OJ for school, and 2 hrs later i would wake up for real and find a glass of OJ next to my bed and dad would tell me i had a proper convo with him.. DH says i do it to..

Is that strange?
