I just went back to my Doctor today and was just referred to take the sleep test with a pulminary clinic.. I am scared to go alone, what does it entail?
I thought I had some hormone problems even though I am only 34, and just had blood work taken yesterday! due to the fact that I am always tired, dont want sex and sweat during the night. But it seems that I actually have almost every side effect of sleep apnea!
I hope I can get to the bottom of this. The one thing I was glad to read on this board was about dreams. I dream very vivid for the past few years, every single night and that always bothered me and didnt know why I dreamed so much!
My husband says I snore very loud and he was the one that urged I check out this angle.
I am glad I found this board!!

Hi Maggie,

You're going to be soooooo glad you're taking steps to do something about this.

Hi Maggie:
Welcome to this board! I've only been on this board for about 2 months and have learned more from the people here than I have learned from the Dr. and sleep lab folks.

Ask questions and share your experiences -these people are a great resource and support.
