Thanks for sharing your experiences tortoisegirl. I'm really hoping that once I start treating anything that's low (vit D, b-12, ferritin, etc.) that I will start feeling better and won't need another sleep study to tell if things are improving. kteague you said "I have read some arrythmias are tied...

Hi kteague, I definitely plan on getting my ferritin, D and B-12 levels checked, as well as magnesium. I have results from some testing last fall that showed my D, B-12 and ferritin levels were low (41, 347 and 54 respectively) but at that time my doctor (not the neurologist) and I didn't have these...

Thank you all! I've PM'd kteague as suggested. I won't be taking any more of that Klonopin - I ended up taking another nap late this afternoon and I'm still tired (whole body tired, ya know?)! Plus my friend was talking to me a while ago and said it looked like part of my face was a bit swollen and ...

Hi all, I finally met with my neurologist about my 24hr EEG (I've had several seizures while sleeping, controlled with medication) and my sleep study. The EEG didn't show anything except some PVC's on the EKG monitoring - I'll be going to a cardiologist soon to follow up. The sleep study was as I fe...

I am finally getting to meet with my neurologist about my EEG and sleep study (non-titration)! I'm excited but nervous because the office manager that I talked to said they were not ordering a titration study and I could go ahead and schedule the appointment. Now, maybe they are rushing to get me in...

Okay, not sure what happened to the post I wrote last night, but here I go again! First I wanted to thank all of you for the replies. They helped calm me down some yesterday and even more today (after a, for me, decent night's sleep). I guess I got it into my head that SURELY they'd come put the mas...

Just a test. I replied last night to some of the comments - it's not here. Just sending this to test things out before I type my replies again. No need to respond!

This is only a test . . .

So I had my first sleep study done last night. Place was nice, tech was nice. I was pretty tired (always am) but we went ahead and started it officially at 9:30pm last night. I thought for sure I'd fall straight asleep as I was barely able to keep eyes open before that point. To me, it felt like I w...

Thank you scOTTT, I will definitely be reading up some more here about sleep studies. I'm also going to ask for vitamin D3, ferritan and b-12 tests. I've been on supplements for all of them, but my levels need to be checked again. I planned on checking in if I'm prescribed a machine - you guys seem ...

Ugh, I didn't even think about not taking a nap! That's been my SOP for most of this summer, at least one nap per day, sometimes more. I try to keep them under an hour - they don't really help, I just usually can't keep my eyes open any longer! Okay, I'll check out that video later today too. Thanks!

Hello, I have been reading many posts here for a week or so and decided to go ahead and join. I go for my sleep study this coming Thursday evening. I’m a bit excited but dreading it too. I’ve had many health issues the last 10-15 years and I have a sneaking suspicion that a sleep disorder has played...
