I'm only 16, but I read National Geographic last night and I saw an article about sleep and it mentioned this rare disease that is found only among 40 families world wide. I'm worried right now, because I looked up the symptoms and I have a few of them. Here are the symptoms I have
*sweating a lot (it's not even hot out, but I'm sweating a lot)
*constipation
*the inability to take naps in the day (I've had this ever since I can remember)
*Slight trouble sleeping at night.
I know that this disease is usually only common in older people, around 30s-50s but I'm really worried! Am I too young to get this disease?
I was however going through withdrawl yesterday and part of today, but I ran out of my Vyvanse (ADHD medication) and I couldn't get it refiled until earlier today. Please help, am I too young for this disease?

Yes, I think you are too young. You can stop worrying about this. Your list of symptoms are common occurrences for many teenagers and don't indicate any specific illness.

Thanks for answer! I suppose your probably right, but I have a real stressful life, and I can't help but worrying about this. Last night I couldn't really sleep at all, and I even took Melatonin and I woke up every hour, only to wake up at about 1:00 am, and than I had trouble falling back asleep.

Stress and worry are far more common causes for insomnia than FFI.

Hon, I have seen a great deal of posts from you worrying about a great deal of things. I think you should talk to your parents about your medication. I have ADHD, and my imagination ran away with me a great deal if I ever ran out of meds when I was a teen. Take a deep breath, hop off the computer take a hot shower, and talk to your folks and see if they can help out. You sound very anxious and I am not sure its helping you at all.

Well my little girl is a 11 and has insomnia very very bad she is taking trazodone but I am worried that she ffi I know she may be to young but it think she does she has all the sighs
