Are you on any medications right now? And conversely, are there any medications you were on that you went off around the time you started experiencing your difficulties?

My focus is on my health right now so that I can improve the quality of life for 22-month old son. I don't have time for selfish, childish husbands.

My meds really didn't change. I started Provigil 7/28 and quit about 3 weeks later. No other meds other than a supplement I've taken for several months.

Desperate... if you're looking for a second opinion, my doc's good. Told you about him before.

You said your problems started 2 years ago, which is about the same time your son was born. Did they start after he was born?

Desperate_in_DM,
If you decide to try another Sleep Dr. There is Southeast Iowa Neurology in Ottumwa, IA. My sleep Dr is there. He was a newbie once, thus you might find more compassion, knowledge, and understanding from him because he's walked in our shoes.
Also, have you ever had metabolism and nutrition blood work done? Was told I was deficient in B vitamins. Felt a difference after taking them.
My heart goes out to you. Please keep posting
