Posted by Eric on October 02, 2000 at 11:58:52:I know this may seem to be a stupid comment, but I am scared and I feel that I am out of control. I have never experienced these symptoms before, but I have recently been unable to sleep uninterrupted at night, I experience daytime sleepiness, "sleep attacks", laughing and blacking out or becoming angry and blacking out. In fact, I was in the grocery store and I picked up a container of juice and when I came to, juice was all over the floor. I feel like I am going to die right before the "sleep attacks" (sometimes I can't breath & it's a struggle to try and make it to a safe place (sofa, chair, etc.)), but when I fall asleep even for just a few seconds, I wake up and I feel just fine. I feel like I haven't slept for over a year now, and I feel like my body is deteriorating. My doctor suspects that I have narcolepsy. I am supposed to go to a sleep study on 10/30 and I've been told that I will have to stay for several days. This is very frustrating. I know that I am just visiting this board, and I don't want to sound like I am just whining, but it is difficult to explain to my wife or my family what I'm experiencing if they have not had any experience with this condition. Please pray for me.
