 I had to cancel the sleep study tonite guys... I feel horribly sick today. Could be a bug though because there are others at work with something like it... slight fever, fatigue, nausea and horrible diarrhea. I had to take an anti nausea in which the sleep study center did not want me to take anything that would make me sleep the night and day of the study but I had to. My tummy is.. just ick!!!!  Cry Soo this has now been rescheduled for June 10th. That is also the day that I go see my GP again and he wanted have this done before that appt however... oh well nothing much I can do about catching a bug. Although to be honest I feel like this way too much. I just think its a bug because others at work are having similiar problems. LOL I never know if I have a bug or not!

my rescheduled sleep study is tomorrow night at June 10th 8pm to 7 am the following morning. Wish me luck. I doubt however I will be able to sleep in an unknown place like that all hooked up to wires. Does not sound comfortable right now. Wish I didnt have to do it... oh well.

Told You It Was Not All In My Head!


I thought I wouldnt be able to sleep on my first sleep study a few years ago. But they had that temperpedic mattress - oh my, heaven. I fell asleep almost immediately - and snored all night, LOL. The techs giggled about that.

This is gonna sound just dumb but that was one of my worst tests/procedures I have done, well the endoscopy that I woke up in the middle of is number one worst but this is not far behind. I think I maybe slept a total of 4 hours the entire night but it never felt like a deep sleep and it took me over an hour to fall asleep. I was so super uncomfortable with those wires on my head and taped to my face, head and neck then the nose probes things going up my nose also taped to my face then wrapped around my ears making them all sore no matter how I layed down, wires everywhere, long cord taped to my index finger and elastic like bands wrapped around my upper abdomen wich made my abdomen sore and uncomfortable and then wrapped up at my chest!... ughhh... then my pillow was not right all night long so my neck was hurting it was so uncomfortable and even though they had the sleep number beds it didnt do much to help me fall asleep. I doubt that it also helped too that I was in a strange room and then the guy in the room next to me had sleep apnea so they had to keep going into his room and everytime I heard the door shut loudly and that would wake me up immediatly... then my wires on my legs became disconnected so they had to come in twice to reconnect to my calves.... my muscles were twitching all over but very much also in my calves which did have some cords on them.. so I am sure that was picked up? I dont know.. they are gonna say I have RLS, restless leg syndrome too because first my feet were too cold and I needed to keep moving my legs to get circulation again and get warmth to my feet but that took about 30 minutes then.. (once my feet get warm my heels burn .. especially if the bedding and sheets are tight on the bed.. and they were tight!! and at home i keep the bedding loose down by my feet)... so my heels were on fire several times ... another horrible uncomfortable situation making things hard to sleep. so I think I got the best sleep near the last two hours of the study.   aggressive

ps... at the end of the stupid study I was soo exhausted, They had a survey to ask if I was refreshed after my sleep study! HA...ha.. ha... yah.. NO. I came home and slept like a baby for 3 more hours.... my bed and bed set up is so much more comfortable. I passed out within minutes. I feel a lil better now.. still tired though, ill take tired over exhausted and sleep deprived though.

I had a feeling this would happen  Rolls Eyes I can totally see how uncomforatble you would be. I bet you're diagnosed with a sleep disorder of some sort, but I think 99% of the population would be after all that  Wink

Moving on to the next test I think  Big Grin

Ooooh. The ones i've heard of (and i don't know many that have done them) are at the hospital and you spent a few days or longer there so you do get comfortable. - Well as comfortable as you can be.

That would have been so annoying Kristin, Sorry.

So I just got a letter in the mail from my GP saying they received my sleep study results and need me to make an appt. to discuss the results. heh... I bet I know what they will say. "you have RLS.".(even though I dont I was just really uncomfortable and flopping around like a fish in attempts to get comfortable) and "your EEG brain waves for abnormal so we want you to try some anti seizure meds" I have heard this before... but I dont wannnnnaaa take anti seizure meds. I have heard such horrid things about their side affects making you spacey and tired all the time. I am allready like that!!!!! ugh

If they want you on anti-seizure meds - try tegretol. They do make you sleepy at first, but that wears off. I take it for Biploar 2, and its great. Not so foggy and sleepy anymore.
