Sleep Study

Stretch

Question

  • In Memoriam

Neuro told doctor told me I need a sleep study immediately. I told her i don't like the glue all over me and it is a waste of time. She said if I had a stroke in my sleep I would most likely die in my sleep. I said since you are talkin to me so sweet I will do the sleep study.

I am glad I did because I was on a bi pap. This machine is awsome. My throat stayed open the entire time it was on. I slept like a baby for about 10 hours. I put in for a change to bi pap. Even if the face mask doesn't fit well all the time it worked anyway.

I hope John999 has or can get one of these.

When I had recent sleep study they woke me up four times to adjust my mask due to leakage. Now if I have to wake up four times a night to adjust mask, twice to pee and 3 times to drink I am not going to get much sleep. I think the mask works wonders for some, but for others it is a bad fit. However, there is nothing else that does not involve risky surgery and even the ones who get the surgery often get back on the B-Pap, so my private sleep doctor says. He says I have six months to live and then writes me a return appointment in 6 months. I wore the mask last night. My nose is a bit raw and I feel a little better I think. I have trouble falling asleep and can't stand having the mask on for hours while I toss and turn.
