Hello Everybody,
I would like to ask a question. Is there a difference between sleepiness and fatigue? The reason I am asking is to make a distinction. I've always describe my symptom as fatigue. My body is not fatigued, it could run a marathon. Here's where I'm going. I stumbled upon an article that was about narcolepsy. The more I read, the more it grabbed my attention. So, I went to a forum similar to this one and read post of people w/narcolepsy. I was really shocked. Quite a few people described their sleepiness/fatigue??? exactly like mine ! Like they had been drugged but their body was fine. Some said they developed it after having strep throat. That's me... Even though it usually happens to younger people it can strike older people. I realize the only way to determine it is to do a sleep study test.
I would just like your opinion.
Thanks
