Crave sweets on bad narc days?

I have narcolepsy with cataplexy. I'm finding when I am having a bad day (symptoms of narc and cat are stronger than usual), I crave sweets A LOT! I have never been a big eater, but on those days, I eat sugary snacks all day long and never feel full. I'll have waffles with syrup, then cookies and milk, then ice cream, then M&M, then cookies again and so forth. I really have no desire to eat normal food and I feel like I have no self-control to stop eating the sweets. If I normally ate like that everyday, I would have a weight problem. I do like sweets like everyone else, but usually I eat pretty balanced meals. I also find that I have to pee more frequently during these days. I try to keep track of my good days and bad days, and this is definately a pattern with the sweets and the frequent peeing. Do any of you find that you crave more sweets than usual (or have to pee more) when having strong narc or cat symptoms? I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow and am going to ask him what he thinks.

FYI... My sister has epilepsy and tells me that on the days she feels like she's going to have a seizure or has had one, she craves sweet more than usual.
