Hey Wendy :o)

You are not alone. I am 25 and have had some of those exact same feelings. I have had symptoms of PCOS for a few years now and thought I was lazy or something. Even my own mother thought i was. The lack of energy and loss of concentration makes it hard to do much of anything. As far as the narcolepsy thing, I haven't suffered fatigue that intense, but i find i am always tird.. always feel like crap when i wake up (worse than before i go to bed). I have problems sleeping thru the nights as well. I'm sure you'll get letters from people in here who know a great deal more than i. Everyone here is so supportive..so understanding :o) All the best,
