I'm not a kidney expert, but it is my understanding that nephrolithiasis is kidney stones.  From what I read, there are a number of different treatment options for kidney stones, depending upon what type they are.  Have you seen a nephrologist (kidney specialist)? 

 

You definitely need to tell your doctor about the new symptoms.  Even if they can't get rid of the nephrolithiasis, hopefully they may be able to give you something to help with the fatigue and falling asleep. 

 

Here is a link to more information about nephrolithiasis and treatment options:  MedlinePlus – Kidney Stones
