Thanks for doing this--I find this all very interesting!
What was the diagnosis process like/what sort of tests did they run on you? Did you ever have SP during the diagnosis process?
My family has been on me to join a sleep study so I'm very curious about your experiences. I had very similar EDS symptoms in high school-college (couldn't stay awake in class for the life of me even with normal sleep hours and my notes would turn to jibberish...it was embarrassing) although it's not as bad now days. I do, however, have consistent SP episodes (especially if I try to sleep in) but unlike you, I freak out every time--I hallucinate occasionally but just the fact that I'm locked inside my immobilized body is enough to panic me.
Glad you're doing well now and great job in school!
