I have I.H. too. It is even more rare than narcolepsy. I have never met anyone else with the diagnosis. I have had it since 1984...no doc ever listened to me about my sleepiness. I couldn't there were others out there with the same thing and that it actually had a name. Good luck to you!

[Shaderraberry]

Glad to find someone to share it with, sad to hear that you suffer from it, too. Good luck to you as well. :)

hi there just started watching your videos (and love them!) so i don't know if you've talked about it or been asked about it- do you do periodical tests for metals levels in your blood? i ask because i'm a glass blower and am aware of the danger of silver fumes and other metals. so i check once a year, and i use very little silver, gold and copper, and some coloured glass (cobalt -ouch!) how about you? it seems you are working with all possible hazardous metals...

[Shaderraberry]

Yes, I have been tested for metal toxicity. Sadly, in our industry, we will always be around hazardous materials... but that's what makes it fun! Thanks for you suggestion; I should probably take it upon myself to get tested more often. Thank you.

Hey! I'm just another person who also has IH... Just got diagnosed about a month or two ago. The reason my doctor said I couldn't be diagnosed with Narcolepsy was pretty similar. I only had one thing that kept me from the diagnosis... I didn't go into REM when I slept. That is something that narcoleptics do. My doctor has me taking Trazadone (sp?) and Melatonin. If you ever need someone to talk to feel free to message me. :) Good luck!

That's what they told me. I was 2 steps from being a Narc. But, now I'e got IH with Secondary Sleep Apnea & Restless Leg. IH is so misunderstood. People are more concerned with those that can't sleep verses those that can sleep like a pro! Aka people with IH! We are the Pro Sleepers! :)

You r way too into yoursekfbitch and what's with the saliva in your voice?

i got diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea after my sleep study.

i've been using a C-PAP now for about 5 month and definately notice a difference.

I have to say though that i really dont like having something strapped to my head/face

while trying to sleep and i don't think i'll ever really get used to it to the point wear i don't mind it. having said that,the alternative [feeling run-down and scatter-brained] is over-ridden by

the discomfort of the C-PAP

[wazzumichael]

wanna sleep with me?

[makinawdandy6699]

Hi there. Sorry to hear about your problems sleeping. Just wondering if you have been checked for sleep apnea. Probably, you have. I mention it to you just in case. If you do get tested, please don't settle for finger oxymetry tests of blood alcohol. You need the full Polysomnogram (PSG) test.

Secondly, I want to recommend that you read a book titled, "The Promise of Sleep." The author's name is William C. Dement. It is a classic. Written by a world expert but in plain English.

Is a sleep study really as bad as it seems? I have to go to a sleep study in Stanford tomorrow, so I'm kinda scared. How are you supposed to sleep when your'e wired up like a puppet? I have no idea of what to expect! My doctor says there is a 98% chance that i have Sleep Apnea because of my monster-sized tonsils. How is it like to be in a Sleep Lab?

[nikilee76]

I'm going tonight for a sleep study. Glad I found your couple of videos, I really hope you're doing better!!!

[seanvwolf]

A couple things different from narcolepsy and IH... people with narcolepsy can take a nap and feel refreshed. people with IH can take all the naps in the world and never feel like they took a nap.
