There's one symptom which most patients report which you've missed out from your list. Can I ask whether you feel more energetic and able to work very late at night than at any other time during the day?

Part of Klienrock Syndrome's symptoms may be explained by seratonin disturbance. Where a healthy person experiences a range of light intensities throughout the day, being brightest towards noon, a sufferer typically becomes transfixed upon a panel of bright white light throughout the day. This disrupts the usual seratonin cycle and means that tiredness and mental acuity become out-of-phase; essentially peak mental performance (normally mid-morning until late afternoon) comes much later in the day (often late-afternoon to late evening) and mental facilities are essentially 'asleep' throughout the morning.

As with all disorders which affect sleep and rest, mood swings are frequently reported amongst sufferers. Isolation of the course of these mood-swings is almost always complicated by an excessive intake of strongly caffeinated beverages both during the day and at night.

There are a wide range of treatments which your primary care provider may wish to undertake. The response to treatment varies greatly between patients, suggesting possible multiplicity of underlying pathology, and so it is important to try a few types.

I am much appreciative of your thourgh diagnostic analization of my present
medical condition.

Yes I did leave out the overiding symtom of late night web activity but was
embarrased as much of it is devoted to Gameitius (as I understand it an
separate malaise unto itself)

I will put your recomendations into practice at once and take two asprins and
report back to you in a month.

I am grateful that your prescription did not inculde avoidance of female companionship.

I am curious to know where you studied to obtain your medical degree?

My present Doctor studied at the Sears School of Advance Medical Pratice and
Household Hardware Applications.
