Hi all...
I was hit by lightning as a youngster. I had a baton with the small rubber tip missing at the end. Was practicing a majorette strut, lifted the baton straight up and then went straight down. Lost consciousness briefly. All I really remember is that I seemed to see ashes falling when I came to. Got up. Went home. Took a bath. Went to bed. My mother found out what happened when a news reporter showed up at the front door.
-- Question is if this could have caused a life long problem with hypersomnolence? If anyone is familiar with this it would be helpful to know what treatments were successful. Cylert helped until there were liver failures. Modafanil just doesn't seem to do more than stop the sleepiness at drowsiness. Also have fibromyalgia... May be totally unrelated but sure am curious
