Can you tell me if i could have fatal familial insomnia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: It cannot be done over this site. It is a rare prion disease that is usually inherited. Progressive insomnia, paranoia, hallucinations, and dementia are part of this condition. If you are concerned about it, it is recommended you consult your physician to go over a detailed history and examination to properly evaluate your symptoms. Hope that helps!
