hi... there's a blood test, to see if you are able to have narcolepsy, a narcolepsy panel. have you had that? it doesn't say conclusively whether you have narcolepsy or not, but it will show whether you would ever be able to have narcolepsy. if the test comes up negative, you will never have narcolepsy. if it comes up positive, then you at least know that you could be narcoleptic.
