Donna, my heart goes out to you, because I experienced the same years ago. Frightening beyond words. I was eventually diagnosed with Narcolepsy. (16 yrs. ago.)
For me, I had never heard of "temporary paralysis". I was so afraid of telling anyone. I figured they would not put me in the insainasilum, but underneath!
I described as being in a black hole. Completely aware of your surroundings, but unable to respond. Like you said: you can't move, you can't speak, and I couldn't even open my eyes! For me it occurred always in the morning, never at night
.
I'm about to turn 47. I experienced what you described in my late 20's. Be assured, I will never forget what it felt like. Hope it helps to know others have experienced what you've been through. Michelle
