Gee thanks Moose, I have my sleep studies done tomorrow night and Tuesday till 6:00 Pm. So I won't get to sleep at all? Just pulling your leg. It can be very difficult to sleep through new noises. Can't wait for the results. Take care, Kim

The best part of the whole test is when it ended at 4:30 am and they said good- bye I was like a zombie. I will never forget it. And to think if I have apnea I get to do it all over again so they can adjust my machine YEAH!!!!!

My husband went throught that and then had the surgery and now has to do the test again to make sure the surgery worked. I'm loosing enough hair already I don't need it pulled out. That glue is imposible to get out of my hair. So, who said it would be easy, no one, right! Take care, Kim

Hi Moose, Well I have 23 yrs down to 2 yrs. old 5 boys but only the littlest at home. Well, the sleep test would have been great if the noises weren't so loud, hammering on the roof, Tolets flushing, sirens going down the road, the heat was too high 78 and that was turned off in my room. Then the day study was ruined due to a lot of this noise, plus the janiter. I may have to do that over, No way and not in that place. They haven't finnished there constuction. I'm so tired and this constant mix ups are rediculous. Sorry to grip. Take good care, Kim

Tell me about tired I was a zombie on sunday. I don't know how they can get any kind of accurate reading under those kind of conditions. I have been so tired since the test I am sure it is just concern over the results. For me it is just more money that I don't have and something else to worry about,

I was at my doctors yestuday for another test. Cortisol stimulation test. He asked about the sleep test. Well, I told him all and he said she is suppose to be the best. I said, she maybe but, her newly built and not completed building isn't. I said that I don't see how they will be able to get to par. They can use buffers under the heat pump. But not the thinness of the walls. Oh well, I'm going to see her Tue. night and I will see what she says. If the day test is usless, by the way I record all my meetings. Can't remember all they say and then you also have a legal document, I will protest w/my insurance her charging. I think that the insurance co. will be of great help if needed. I guess I'm unhappy with being told by the tech. that the test is usless. I wouldn't pay for a meal that isn't cooked properly. sorry to let it out. Take good care and let me know what your results are and I'll do the same. Keeping my fingures crossed, Kim

Hi Moose, Was it mild sleep apnea? My husband doesn't stop breathing since he had the surgery. He would stop for about 40 sec. and that would wake him. Now he doesn't wake me with his snoring and his gasping for air. Let me know how it goes at the docs. For me I got the results last night. My alpha waves which are only suppose to be while awake I have alpha when I sleep. They can't do anything for it. It's suppose tobe rare. I also have 3 other mild things that can't be corrected. Oh, well that's life. I was told that people w/FMS and/or CFS have these symtoms. Well, I have both so I guess that conferms that, more. Take good care, Kim
