Hi All,

I’m in need of a bit of advice please.

I’m chronically ill with many complex autoimmune diseases and multiple other chronic illnesses. Some of which are directly related to sleep conditions. I have had a sleep study but it was aborted half way through due to being unaware of uncontrolled severe sleep apnea.

I have the following diagnosed sleep conditions:-

Moderate To Severe Sleep Apnea on CPAP

E.D.S-Excessive Daytime Sleepiness

C.F.S/M.E-Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Ecephalomyelitis with P.E.M- post exertional malaise

R.L.S. Restless leg syndrome

P.L.M.S Periodic limb movements during sleep

Chronic insomnia and disrupted sleep pattern

Significant Sleep Fragmentation

I then have:-

Sleep attacks with hallucinations.….I’ve seen a sleep medicine consultants but he doesn’t think it’s narcolepsy, I do what should I do next? Is anything jumping out to anyone??

Are sleep disorders categorized as auto immune?
