I was only technically diagnosed by having the N blood allele marker. On my MSLT (overnight and next daynap tests) one nap session j apparently did fall asleep for 8 minutes on ONE nap, it through off the whole sleep study! Ive never done a spinal tap (im chicken,) and to my understanding would be the definitive test if you have N or not. I still feel like maybe i have hypersommia, though my aunt dads sister) and grandma (my dad's mom) show(ed) major EDS symptoms though never diagnosed.
