I have days where I have to really fight to stay awake. It's next to impossible to keep my eyes open.
I've been tested for a lot of things; but so far no answers.
Yesterday I underwent a Doppler ultrasound of my carotid arteries. (I'll have to wait several days for the results.)
Has anyone else experienced such sleepiness?
Sometimes I sleep well at night. Other times ( like last night)
I don’t sleep at all. It varies.
In the case of most of us (unless those who suffered brain damage that specifically damage to long-term memory in the inner brain with the hippocampus and memory central command) or are suffering from dementia (easier to get a test now that can show if you have early stages or soon will have do to recent research published earlier this year), then all of your memories (nothing that occurs during a seizure except those seizures like the Simple Partial Seizures that you are completely aware… read more

I have heard in the past from several friends who have tried many others including surgery, implants or non-medication alternative methods.

If Q + A section was better organized, then I would not have to ask this question, but we have a support site, so we have to do what we can… read more
