Guest guest Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 It's funny you all bring this up now. I have a second sleep study tonight. I had one on June 30th. They didn't put a CPAP on me so now I have to go back again and have one on me. The techs didn't think I qualified for one but the dr's thought otherwise. Medicare will LOVE this..LOLLack of restful sleep is why I had that blackout in May. I had all kinds of tests done for it. I am thankful it is "just" sleep apnea and hopefully and easy fix. I'm ready for my extra energy! LOLGood luck to all of those other SAers.Shirleykatelloydkidz@... wrote: I am so grateful that I found out that I have apnea and that I had a sleep study done. The results were astounding to me, and I feel blessed to have been prescribed a C-PAP machine. I took it on my cruise, and it makes a world of difference! When I don't use it, I fall asleep at the wheel! I, like Anne, use the full face mask, and not the nasal canula type--I just couldn't get used to that, but I do have it if I want to try it again. Perhaps after I lose the weight I need to lose I'll not need it, or have another sleep study to see how my sleep is...we'll see. Boy, I really missed you all while I was away!
