Gain of 20 uV/mm. Eyeball SEMs look better. IMO this is the hot set-up

Why do you limit the view to ECG and EKG and not include TFlow, PFlow, RIP bands, etc... ? Are you only assessing the validity of sleep staging? Maybe I'm asking a stupid question, but AAMOF, I'm uneducated.

That said, IMO your sleep was bad then and substantially worse now. Is the implication here that my baseline sleep is bad (due to an unknown cause), and the medications are exacerbating the problems? Also, I stopped taking the SNRI (Cymbalta), because I detest taking medications and wanted to see h...

IMO the new study needs to be done with what you do now. Meds, sleep schedule, caffeine, THC, everything. I don't entirely disagree with this statement; however, there's the issue of SSRIs suppressing REM sleep (at least, the data shows that during initiation of the medication it suppresses REM - I...

Similarly, you can't have an arousal if you're already awake: https://i.imgur.com/ecvimyu.jpg What a mess. Man… this is depressing. If I mention anything about this to the RPSGT or neuro, they’ll remind me that they’ve been doing this for 500 years and know what they’re doing. My neuro literally to...

to do. I’m inundated by perpetual sleepiness and I feel like I’m being gaslit by my providers. They all say my AHI of 8.5 (REM AHI 18.5) isn’t the cause of my sleepiness I'd say they're FOS. I went to an ENT for evaluation. He was condescending and asked me “What do you want me to do about it? I on...

... let him know...

Hoo boy.

You back on the list.

Prime example of why context is necessary.

On an unrelated note, FOX and CNN are hiring hosts.

Edit: Nevermind. Makes sense now.

FWIW It’s not Rubicon’s fault- it’s mine. I’ve apologized to pugsy in private and let her know that it wont happen again.

The reason there is no EMG signal from the chin leads is because... ...take a wild guess... Oh god…. Please, no. I just contact the office manager - she was ecstatic to hear my voice - and she said she would ask the sleep tech to look into it. They said they couldn’t add the video to the CD-ROM, bu...

But again, most importantly, EMG changes are critical here and without a signal, MSLT is Unacceptable For Analysis (UFA). I’m not sure why EMG data isn’t shown - I will link a picture to when I had all the electrodes on. https://imgur.com/a/zfL1433 Tbh IDFK what to do. I’m inundated by perpetual sl...

Hey I ain't Rumpelstiltskin. That’s still out for debate. Wasn't the +MSLT the ONLY basis for the dx. of N.? The +MSLT and PSG. MD stated my fragmented sleep - frequent arousals and awakenings - on my PSG were supportive of the diagnosis. Don't blame the RPSGT. According to Da Rules, the physician ...

So you're hijacking the thread about hijacking. While I figured you’d appreciate the irony, I didn’t think my situation was something that the forum would provide input on. There's no REM on the MSLT. Overall there are massive scoring errors. Technical quality of studies is poor. Whoever did it had...

Seems it often gets suggested when a separate thread would be better for either/both posters to get targeted responses. The way I see it, unless someone appears to be intentionally problematic, let things sort themselves out. I hate to think of you taking your time to move things around etc. We'll ...
