Yes, keep us posted. Sounds like you've found a good neuro.
 
So the results of my sleep deprived EEG showed up completely normal, but after mentioning frequent sleep paralysis, and worsening insomnia the neuro has now suggested narcolepsy or "narcocardial" something-something, and booked me in for an MRI and an overnight sleep lab session. I'm still not convinced that it isn't epilepsy, but I'll be hooked up to an EEG for the sleep lab so I'll just see how it goes. Although I won't be getting any definitive results until around Christmas time unfortunately.
 
That is great news. An answer or at least an explaination for what you've been going through. I hope yu share hat they say about the neurocardial and if they prescribe anything for that. I too collapse and it is always after napping.
 
Sorry there's nothing definitive yet, but the the overnight sleep test may yield some answers. Hang in there.
