Yes, I seem to be the exception to the rule when it comes to weight, for which I'm MOSTLY thankful for! My cholesterol is low, BMI is good, heart is in good shape, etc. Given my condition, its very surprising my weight has never ballooned.

I have two of the four symptoms of Narcolepsy. Sleep paralysis and hypnagogic hallucinations. I have sleep attacks but its hard to say if that is due to boredom (classes), lack of sleep, or narcolepsy. Based on my sleep study and MSLT, my sleep doctor diagnosed me with primary insomnia with indications of narcolepsy. He has prescribed me Adderall, Concerta, and Provigil, as well as numerous sleep medications to treat the insomnia (which could be caused by the narcolepsy or the other way around... chicken and the egg). No luck so far... grapsing at straws at this point.
