Re: Jan - the sleep study/Loretta and Jeanne

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I didn't have to stop taking my meds when I did my sleep study.

Why would they do that? I should think that they would want as normal

a sleep pattern as possible. That to me would require doing all the

things I normally would do. Including taking my meds. I wouldn't make

it without them. The only thing they wanted to know was all the stuff

I do take. Talk about a list!

sleep without my meds, and I don't like having things hooked up to

me. It doesn't sound like a very pleasant night.

hurt too much to even do a trial.

I din't have to stop my Ambien Cr either. I just had a second one last week . I

am trying the nose pillows. I still feel like I can not get enough air once the

CPAP starts, as long as i am on ramp i am ok. any suggestions. my CPAP is set at

8 and the air is humidified.

I guess I assumed it was the case because the meds might mask your true sleep

cycle? I'm relieved to hear I was wrong.

Hi Jeanne,

I just read what I wrote. I hope I didn't come across as snippy. I

didn't mean it to be. I was more worried that someone had told you to

not take them. Sorry if I sounded like a _itch.

Take care. jan
