So I am going to have to go back and take the diagnostic test. The lab deleted it and healthcare needs it to give me my equipment. I talked with the manager and they did in fact delete it because they didn't know that the healthcare would need it. However, the healthcare even told me they were obligated for 7 years to hold onto it. It was just an error. Manager says he will see what he can do as far as what the healthcare requires and will continue talking with healthcare before we schedule another diagnostic test.

If I can't get Ambien, I will take a heavy does of Benadryl and hope for the best. I don't even need to be technically asleep in my book, just enough for the test to show I am.

So Morbius, Mollete, Dave, Muffy, Not Muffy... since you are smart enough to know there is a problem ... why would you post something like that? Do you feel like a bigger man now? No... wait... it's because you were banned from the AB! You're welcome!

Left 5 messages. Have not heard back from the lab for redoing the diagnostic test. At this point, I don't think it's going to work out because the story always changes for them and it doesn't have a good ending feel to it and am so I'm almost ready to give up. I may play around with the mask I have now a little bit and try other forms of therapy, continue the ones I have going for me below. But thank you to everyone who tolerated me.
