Well, I'm at the point where my doc and I aren't sure wether I have N (or atypical N) or a seizure disorder (possibly epilepsy).

I was diagnosed with OSA, and have yet to start CPAP, so it's possible that my EDS is caused by the OSA....but I have to wait and see.

The other thing that's confused the docs is that both my sleep-deprived EEG and MRI were normal (or so they say)...and tegretol didn't do anything major for me, except stop some tremors.

It's just that my 'episodes' seem like N, or they may be some sort of absence seizure/complex partial seizure. It's just frustrating.......
