Guest guest Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hi Guys, Just got back from an appointment with the sleep doc. He doesn't think there's much he can do to help with my sleep patterns or lack thereof if it's because of the encephalopathy. He's getting the results of my overnight oxywhatsis & I'm to call him next week. It seems we're probably going to do a sleep study - he thinks I have sleep apnea. He & I educated each other today. I printed out your post from yesterday re encephalopathy & gave it to him. He didn't know about it & said he's going to give serious thought to testing new patients ammonia levels, apparently he sees quite a lot of people with liver problems. He told me that there's no tx to bring up my platelet numbers. Since my spleen is enlarged, it is destroying my platelets. The only way to bring the platelet count up is to fix the spleen & that's not going to happen. Oh well, I've got an appointment with the infectious diseases guy (Dr Idiot, you remember him) & see what he has to say about it. Such fun I'm having. Hugs, SuZie & Sir SpYke the Sleepy - or should that be Sneaky?? Next time I'm coming back as a cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
