Exactly and good for you! I see in a later post you still didn't get the full report? Keep at them.Desperate_in_DM wrote: I guess I'm usually too nice. I need to channel my rage more.
BTW - I was given a first mask that the DME tech said was "the best". I told him it wasn't the one that was recommeded for me by the sleep specialist was not the one I wanted to try. I slept the entire night through my study in a mask. At my first study without a mask I only slept 90 minutes. So I wanted THAT mask - the one I slept the night through in. But no like a sheep I accepted "the best". I was back in 72 hours with blisters on the bridge of nose, in tears, and hadn't slept in 72 hours. I hads to assure my big truck driving hubby I could handle it as he was really upset and also sleep deprived.
The Tech's comment when I showed up and complained? - that is the mask we are told to push first. OMG - I was pissed. Enough that he had to alert his boss. I also compained to the sleep disorders clinic and my specialist. I'll never see that DME tech again. It's why I booked my next appointment with the RT. She wasn't as familiar with my equipment but the appointment was all about me and what I needed and she tried to do her best by me.
Give them heck! Unfortnately, some of them herd us like sheep and we're too tired to argue
While I can't feel your pain - I've been through nerve tests, MRI's, PT, years on RA meds because they thought that would work, and tired, tired, tired without finding an answer.
It's taken me about a year but I'm finally starting to feel better and better.
Hang in there and keep switching up the docs. That's what it took here. Finally got one who was intrigued by my medical records and started really digging and we took it all back to scratch in case someone missed something. In my case it was the Vitamin D issue and my sleep disorder.
