[quote="echo"]Glad to hear he's doing better. It's good that you have an ENT you can trust... now have you managed to find a new (accredited) sleep center?

For his sake I also hope he doesn't need CPAP... but if he does, he is so lucky that you have managed to catch it now.

In any case, every body is different, as you already know... and don't forget he also has years of sleep debt to pay off, so I wouldn't be too surprised if it takes him some time to catch up. *fingers crossed*

Run away FAST! How horrible is that?!?!

I went to the methodist (?) in Indy 3 years ago. They had a 6-month waiting list for a sleep study so I didn't get it done there. A few of our friends in Muncie & Indy had sleep studies done a while ago, I can ask where they went & how their experiences were, if you want.

I'm going to remember that! If it comes to that I will pm you to get a recommendation. Hopefully it won't. It looks like I won't be needing another sleep study for a couple of years now.
