Posted by Ursula on September 29, 2000 at 10:48:12:I'm a thirty year old south african woman. Since my mid twenties I have experienced difficulty in handling alcohol - become exteremly and uncontrolably sleepy after even half a glass of wine. Recently episodes started happening during day at inappropriate times (driving, working, social, even while out walking etc.) even without alcohol - lasts about 20 mins a couple of times a day, very yawny, extreme drowsiness, but no actual sleep. Has been like this for a couple of months now. Had MSL test, at state hospital - impossible to fall asleep, noisy, cold, light. Fell asleep twice out of four after 14 mins, no REM recorded. Doctor gave up - no diagnosis. Can anyone help? Is there a possibility of Narcolepsy even though MSL was negative?
