Hi guys im a 32 year old male for just over a year i have been having problems with insomnia every night, waking up a few times after vivid dreaming, in the daytime i have eyelid twitching, headaches, anxiety. I read that all these are symptoms of prion diseases. My doctor thinks i am a hypochondriac and if i had one of those diseases my memory would be bad now after a year of onset. Can anyone reassure me that it's all in my mind thanks.

    Hi Garth I also have insomnia and usually wake up every hour by the hour sad to say it’s not fun I can relate . Does not matter what your doctor thinks you are you pay him to do his job so you tell him that you want to be checked for that so your assured you don’t have it . Insomnia is not fun I get sever head acks and I feel tiered all day I get sick lots to . He has to do his job so don’t worry what he thinks it’s your health not his . 😊🙏🏻
