So true. It never occurs to a doctor that you're depressed BECAUSE you're sleeping so much, not the other way around. :P

It's good you and your mom stood firm because sometimes doctors don't always listen to their patients. >.> These days, with the amount of information out there, patients are more informed than ever and I think some doctors don't realize that.

Yeeaah, over a year for mono would be some kind of medical anomaly. o.O I agree, that's kind of interesting he thought of that as a possibility.

I wonder if the vitamin D deficiency is related to narcolepsy. I'm glad you were able to get a good diagnosis, Ajones. :) And also glad it wasn't mono. My bro had that and it's not fun.

Haha. :) Funny you should ask that, since I'm just recovering from another sleeping bout (from 11 Am yesterday to 6 AM this morning). I did go to the doctor and had a blood test and he diagnosed a severe vitamin D deficiency. So I've been taking the vitamin D and it seemed to help for two months and now I'm back to the marathon sleeping. I think it's time to take him up on his referral to the sleep doctor. >.> I put it off because the vitamin D seemed to be working but that was probably a mistake.

How have you been?

Uggggh. 5 hours at night, then slept from 9:30 AM till 8:30PM yesterday (Saturday). It may not be narcolepsy but it sure can't be normal. To all those who think sleeping all day is fun I say it's soo not all it's cracked up to be. >.<

Thanks for telling me about what to expect for the dr. appt. That helps calm my nerves for sure. That's crazy you were even dreaming in class. Wow. I don't know how fast I hit REM but I know that neither my mom or my dad usually remember their dreams at night and I remember all of mine because they're so vivid and frequent.

Thanks for the info, Ajones. :) I usually only sleep about 4 hours at night, wake at 6:30AM and then return to sleep for another 4-5 hours a few hours later. But then I am often still very sleepy later in the day. I really have no idea what's up with my sleep patterns. I have an appointment with a sleep neurologist in November so hopefully I can figure it out. When you sleep in REM, that's when most dreaming occurs, right? I have very vivid dreams pretty much every night. I don't know if that means anything.

Doesn't narcolepsy hit like really fast, like boom, you're instantly asleep? I go through periods where, a few times a month, I will get overwhelmingly sleepy and sleep for 20+ hours. Fell asleep during dinner once, at a restaurant. Narcolepsy or chronic fatigue syndrome?

Actually you can and I didnt, To tell you the truth it work really fast like with 3 days :))

Never mind, I dont need your help:P. I found out it was ich and Im treating it with salt

What the heck you just cant tell me whats wrong?? Im not gonna do all that for to give me a name of whatevers going on :p
