I have posted a long time ago and no one sure what i have so i will try again.  My strange, I'll call it stuff, started happening about 3 yrs ago.  I one day started looseing my skin sensation.  It started at my scalp and processed down my body for about 4 months until now i only feel certain parts of my skin.  Needless to say my sex life went down the tubes.  Touch is a wonderful part of that.  Then about 2 yrs ago i started having strange feeling at night.  I would wake and there would be colored lights and tingling for a few seconds and then i would fall back to sleep.  No one thought anything of it. Maybe mirgraines is what the doc said.  She put me on Topamax.  Then suddenly after 6 months i started to fall and loose all muscle control.  I could hear and see everything and everyone around me but i could not move.  I didn't even know if i was breathing.  My husband freaked out.  At first it lasted about 3 minutes and then i would slowly regain control of my muscles and be able to get up.  Doc then thought maybe seizures.  Seizure test nothing showed up.  So kept happening.  Doc decide to do cataplexy test with nacrolepzy.  Showed have sleep apnea, not bad, but no Cataplexy put on breathing machine at night.  Must admit wasn't sleeping well.  But no has told me what all this might be from.  I had all the test in the book.  Maybe not the rare ones, but everything else.  I was just wondering if anyone might have some direction to check in.  I really thought it was catapexy.  one doc told me i coulod have cataplexy without nacroplsy but no one followed up on that.  Does anyone have a clue?
