Sleepy low natural killer cells

Posted by Star on March 12, 2003 at 21:18:45:

Could anyone tell me is they have any information about having a weak immune system and being sleepy? For several years I have had excessive sleepiness. I had a sleep study done over ten years ago but it was botched because the Dr had me on Cylert and Proziac up until two days before the tests so I was told Idiopathic Hypersomlance then I moved to another town and had to find another Dr and of course they would not prescribe anything like Cylert so I started all over and after a couple of years I was told Chronic Fatigue so I thought that was it but my main symptom was still sleepy and I don't know if I can saw fatigue but when I would feel better then having a period would make me excessively sleepy none to the Drs I told that to could understand. I have being seeing a Dr who did some Immune system test and I have low natural killer cells and also part of the test was a CD8-HLA-DR and that was high. Would this be the same test Ij have be reading about here? I take 400 mg of Provigil a day along with some other meds. I just wanted to know if anyone else knew about the weak immune system. I forgot I also have EBV-HH6-and Cytomeglovirus that are actiive. Would that cause sleepyiness? Thanks, Star
