Guest guest Posted April 21, 2002 Report Share Posted April 21, 2002 , We have been through that business of being very proud, etc that you mentioned. As I look back now, I wish that I had insisted earlier that my husband get help for the sleep disorder. I even went through the sleep clinic myself before he did, because he was unwilling to admit that he might have a problem. He always wanted to say that the noise, etc at night was from me. We actually went about ten years before we really were able to find someone to help us with his sleep disorder, at least 5 years after he was willing to testing. His first study was done just before Christmas one year. The sleep clinic had not had any patient with his symptoms/activities during that entire year until him. Basically, I think now that they were reading the book and trying to treat him. We finally got to a sleep center who knew what they were seeing quick. We spent 5-15 years with one or more of us up a big part of the night. Just think how well we probably preformed during that next work day. He has now had 3-4 different sleep studies. The doctors really like to have him in the sleep clinic, because he is a great example of what they have been taught. They can actually see for themselves " stuff " that they have only seen in training videos before. Be strong. Insist that your husband get the testing and treatment that he needs. This is no time for pride for him or you. Best wishes to you. This life is tough. Marilyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
