I just this minute corrected my post...this lady IS a Level II therapist...qualified and registered to do Distance treatments!
I do hope your partner will get treatment.
I recognize that 'falling asleep' symptom, though not from major illness, I hope. For a brief time I was falling asleep, momentarily, while standing in conversation...catching myself before slumping to the ground, luckily.
It really wasn't funny, because I was still driving in those days...not realizing how weak I was.
