Also if you could devote 2-5 days to this it was helpful to my doctor. Journal everything you eat or drink, every symptom you have and if you can get a glucose monitor. Check you blood sugar before eating, immediately after, 30 minutes after, 1 hour after and 2 hours after. It is very time consuming to do this, but it was a big help in my diagnosis.

I have an abnormal case. I am the only one in my family with it. My attacks come as full body paralysis including facial muscles and breathing becomes difficult.

I guess I'll just keep trying to tell you what I remember, hopefully I will be able to remember by the time I am typing next time.
