In reply to Why Do They PDocs Want Sleep Studies?, posted by Phillipa on February 23, 2005, at 20:03:36
They had me take my regular medications, and I slept like a baby.
The results showed that I went into REM sleep too early, but not early enough to qualify as narcolepsy. And that I have central apnea as opposed to obstructive airway apnea. I just forget to breathe.
The neurologist prescribed the sleep study, and he diagnosed me with a sleep disorder and prescribed Provigil. I'm not sure about the sleep disorder, but the Provigil is the only thing standing between me and unemployment, so it was money well spent.
And it's good to know what isn't wrong as well as what is.
