It took me awhile to figure out why I was not bouncing back from the surgery. I finally realised that maybe it was sleep related when I was telling one of my doctors that I was waking up just as tired as when I had gone to bed. I downloaded Sleepyhead and checked out my numbers. My AHI was much worse than it had been and I was having one central apnea after another, all night long.
I got in to see my sleep doctor. He made some adjustments to my settings. I had a few nights of good sleep. But then my AHI has gone back up and I feel like I am losing my mind. I am so tired I am barely functional. I do not feel like myself at all. And I am feeling really, really hopeless. Like I will never get good sleep again... Like I am destined to live the rest of my life in a fog... Like I will never be thinking clearly again and will forever feel like I am barely holding onto my sanity...
When I went in to see the sleep doctor, he told me I needed to have the surgery reversed because he wasn't going to keep changing the settings on my machine to compensate for a problem caused by a change in the drug delivery system. I was horrified by this statement. I don't really think that is his call to make! And, I don't really want to have another surgery done to change it back unless absolutely necessary. I am wondering, though, if he CAN keep changing the settings to compensate or if there really is no solution to the problem other than another surgery.
