tired

Posted by beth on April 29, 2002 at 17:52:34:

i have RLS and take several meds at night, i drive during the day for my job and having been falling asleep
so my dr prescribed provigil, but now she suspects narcolepsy, not just lack of sleep at night. so i have a few questions. there are times when i have to go to sleep, this weekend i was at the mall and i hit a "sleep wall" it was all i could do to drive home and go to bed. i went to ireland a couple of years ago and fell asleep in the middle of a mall area (my sisters have pictures to prove it)
i also just drop things from my hands for no reason, one minute i have it , the next second dinner is on the floor.
i am sure you all can share the same experiences. i also attributed it to my rls and drug usage at night, but now the overwhelming feeling of having to sleep makes me wonder.
thanks for your help
