Healingme4me: I'd never thought of Narcolepsy. I suppose I'm not on WebMD enough. Ha ha! I'm not ruling it out, now that you mention it, as I have a long family history of autoimmune disorders. Maybe it wouldn't be so scary if I just knew what it was and why.

Sabrina: I also feel for you! Yes, they do leave you SOOOO drained and tired. One site member mentioned Narcolepsy and I'm looking into it further. When I researched more about the disorder, I was astounded to see that I experience ALL of the major symptoms, which is why I'm going to get checked out.

Thunder Bow: I understand that it could be due to those aspects. There were some pretty ugly aspects to my childhood, but there were also some good things. I'm actually in the process of looking into a therapist now for some other concerns I have. Thank you for the advice.
