So about a month ago i posted about my fear of sporadic fatal insomnia or other prion diseases. So far ive had a complete blood planel, MRI, and somehow i convinced my Doctor to request a PET scan ,which i was told, would definitely show any evidence of neuro degeneration or problems. All have come back normal. However its been a month since ive been having these symptoms and they really havent gone away. The most concerning is the EXTREME brain fog and insomnia. below are my symptoms:

- severe brain fog-- it took me a few seconds to remember my kids full names
- insomnia-- it was really bad a month ago, now i can fall asleep easily but still am only getting maybe 6 hours of fragmented sleep
-- apathy- I have 0 emotion, i do not get excited, laugh , cry , anything, i feel like a emotionless zombie
-- along with the brain fog , I cant concentrate at all , ive even lost my train of thought mid sentence , which really began to freak me out


I have no idea what is going on and all results have come back normal, ive never felt like this before.

I'm going through the lack of sleep stuff at the moment, so I know how utterly awful that can be. So sorry you're feeling all of this, but it honestly sounds like depression. Has your doctor suggested that?
