Glad to read your story! I’ve been struggling around sleep\wakefulness for years (over 15.
I do have a sleep hypopnea diagnosis, and other diagnoses such as fibromyalgia that cause fatigue), and, as of today, my neuro has put in for a PSG + MSLT, which I am seriously excited for. I’m not so excited about not being able to take my provigil or ritalin the week prior, though it should be worth it to achieve a proper diagnosis. I have cataplexy, nightmares and night terrors, hypnagogic hallucinations, and go straight to dream (or nightmare) land when napping. Narcolepsy just hadn’t really occurred to me as a cause for all this.

I look forward to keeping up with this instance.
