an excerpt (I added the bold):

 

Mr. R. K., a 17 year old boy came with a history suggestive

of episodic excessive sleepiness since last two years. Following

an episode of a viral fever, he acutely developed an irresistible

urge for sleep and spent sleeping throughout the day,

waking up only to eat voraciously or to urinate or defecate.

I read it & from one Dr. Mom to another Dr. Mom, I concur.

EAMom, did you send the researcher an e-mail and tell him your suspicions? I agree with you. If you didn't do it, I will. Spread the word so some other kid with the same symptoms doesn't have to suffer.
