P-docs are nice, they can help fatigue by prescribing things like Provigil and stims. But you really should see a neurologist as well for your sleepiness. It's a result of poor sleep architecture-- the way your brain sleeps at night. You'll probably need a sleep-deprived EEG, it charts your brain waves as you sleep. This will help pin point the problem.
YOu may have a sleep disorder that they can't find the cause of, which they can treat with things like Xyrem and Provigil, according to my neuro. But if it's sleep apnea, you can try surgeries or a oxygen machine.
