I echo this - a sleep clinic would be a great source of info and maybe even help for sleep paralysis. Like I said earlier, I've only had a few episodes in my life, but they are terrifying and understandable that you don't want them to happen again. Take care of yourself, and remember, your health is your #1 priority, not your doctor's #1 priority (no matter how wonderful a doctor might be, he/she goes home at night without your difficulties affecting him/her), so you must be proactive. I know insurance can be a problem, but try to get other opinions on what your course of treatment should be. Take care!
> Sorry Marg got so wound up in the last post I forgot the most important thing. My Drs agreed when I had my SP episodes that if they continued they'd would refer me to a sleep disorders clinic as SP can be related to narcolepsy. I have a friend who went to one for sleep apnea and says is it was the best thing he's even done. There are specialist sleep centres all over so it may be worth checking out.
