Something I've Noticed About Sleep Paralysis...

It's always bad but it's usually about the same intensity. I mean we can start to move a little with enormous effort, or we can make a little noise by trying to scream or we can blink or move our eyes and hopefully a spouse notices and will shake you to wake u up. Even prayer when we see the "demonic" entity. We can see that our struggles are starting to work. We are breaking free. Then when we wake up we feel a little better and a little less afraid of the next encounter. BUT (I suspect many ofโ€ฆ read more

When my spells hit i become paralysised from head to toe. Can't move,talk or worn anyone it is gonna happen. I don't just have one. I have multiple in a roll,then after I have a numb head. My oldest sister says she can tell when I am gonna have one because you can see it in my eyes.

Absolutely keep searching for a sleep specialist who will help you!!! Because of my medication tolerance situation I had been prescribed everything available (at the time 1990's) I went (thank God) on disability in early 2000's. Then a few years ago I had decided to attempt to get back on "something" to help me function to some degree. I was able to get back in touch with the doctor (Pulmonologist) who initially diagnosed/treated me! I was extremely thankful he was even still in practice! Basically the doctor is kind of "starting over" in regards to the medication.I have decided to see a new doctor closer to where I live. I have my 1st appointment in June I'm excited to see a doctor who specializes in Narcolepsy. So we shall see how it goes.
I very much hope that you find the help you're looking for. Best of luck to you!

I actually can't get meds from a doctor. I was diagnosed in the 90s and quit taking my meds a few years later in favor of over the counter meds. Plus I was young and stupid and didn't think they would help me. All I cared about was making sleep paralysis stop. When I figured out they couldn't help me with that I gave up. A few years ago I tried to get back on them and I can't locate any records because it wasn't computerized then. Doctor out me through the whole cycle again and started making me use a CPAP. This made sleeping even more difficult. After a year I couldn't take it and stopped and the doctor won't do a damn thing for me because I refused the treatment he gave me
