Sent Home Early from MSLT

I was told originally I’d be on the waitlist for 1-2 years for a PNG and MSLT study, but a particularly helpful doctor set me as ‘urgent’ and I was seen within the month. This doctor said he suspects narcolepsy or IH.

So I did the PNG and MSLT. I just finished the MSLT, it was supposed to be 5 naps but I got sent home after the 4th. I really just want to be diagnosed with something, anything, I don’t want to live like this anymore without knowing. I was seriously at my breaking point right before this test, so if they don’t know what it is still, I don’t know what I’m going to do. This was kind of my hail mary. I definitely fell asleep during one of them, but had particular struggles falling asleep today as I was anxious about falling asleep and just thinking about falling asleep the entire time, so I honestly can’t tell if I fell asleep during the other three. But yeah, I got sent home after the fourth.

The sleep technician obviously told me he can’t disclose results, but he said they ruled out a lot of stuff. Which makes me worried that they still don’t know what it is but know it’s not what I was originally sent for.

Has anyone heard of someone who got sent home early who didn’t get diagnosed with something? What was your experience with these tests?
