I am 34 years old. The Sleep issues started 26 months ago to where I had to take somethng to sleep. I was awake for 5 days straight and it was sudden. I knew something was wrong. Then after numerous sleep aids, anti-depressants, etc (thinking maybe I was crazy) the only medications that worked were in the Benzo Class. I have had Dr's say "This will make you sleepy" when trying other meds and it has no effect on me. I feel like whatever this is.. it's only getting worse.
I have seen counselors, psychiatrist, Neurologists, Internal Med Dr, etc... Everyone seems puzzled.
I do not want to have fatal insomnia. There are 25 known Families and then there is a Sporadic Kind that is not Genetic. I really don't know if I want to know if I have this...
I keep thinking positive, do everything the Dr's tell me to, etc.... I don't feel a sense of fear, hunger, sensations hardly at all, I am losing weight even though I eat... I do not feel tired which is weird.
I was tested for Pheochromocytoma and Carcinoid Syndrome and both came back fine....
RLR could you please shed some light? I was told 2 years ago all this was caused probably by Temporal Lobe Seizures, but again I take Keppra 3 times a day for that. I don't even realize I am having seizures.
Then I was told MS, but again my MRI appears to be stable.
So the insomnia continues........... I don't want to die from some rare fatal disease and I know everyone reading this thinks I am nuts, but I promise you I am not nuts. even my Psych says I am not and I have been seeing her for 6 yrs now....
