One more step in the right direction

After my completely unsatisfactory meeting with my sleep doc on Monday, I took the steps everyone here recommended and cancelled the sleep study he had set up and met with my GP this afternoon.

My GP asked why I was unhappy with the specialist, and when I told him some of the things that had happened, he said no problem and will arrange for me to see someone else. The doctor he is sending me to is a respirologist who runs a sleep clinic at the best local hospital.

I may have to wait a while for an appointment, but I will just keep on using my apap and monitoring the results on my own until then.

I feel so much better about changing docs now, and want to thank all of you for encouraging me to stand up for myself -- it worked

Good for you! Just keep on keeping on, and it will pay off. We have to look out for ourselves, and when something doesn't feel right, it usually isn't.
