Has anybody ever had a sleep study done? What was it like?
Has anyone ever found out that they had sleep apnea through taking the sleep study? Is a Cpap always the recommended treatment? What other treatments are there? Has anyone found out what their sleeping problem was and felt 100x times better? Has it changed anyone’s life for the better? I have one coming up next Friday. I have been tired for as long as I can remember. I should have done this a long time ago. It has come in between everything in my life…friends, family, work, etc. I hope I can find some answers and start living a normal life and not feel tired every single day of my life!

It was strange — they do wire you up in a lot of different ways. You will not get a good night sleep! I thought I’d never fall asleep but I did. They then woke me up to try out a mask when they quickly decided I did have sleep apnea.
I have been using a cpap for about two years — it can be a pain and it took awhile to get use to but it really helps. I even use it if I just lay done for just a half hour. I wouldn’t sleep without it now! Never realized how little I dreamed since I never went into REM sleep.
Make sure you get a good fit on your Mask! That was my biggest problem in the beginning..
Read and ask questions!
It sucks. I also know 2 other people who just had theirs done too.
They stick these wires to your head and elsewhere – couple on your temples, several on your actual head (in your hair), on your chest, on your lower legs. They bundle them all together and tie them like it’s one big super cord.
They also put that clip on one of your fingers to check your oxygen levels.
They put a thick belt/band around your chest (with wires) to keep check of your chest expansion when breathing.
They put one of those oxygen tube type things just under your nose and tape it to your face (although no oxygen – it monitors your breathing through your nose).
So given all these wires attached to you, you can’t freely move and roll around in bed like normal. You’re semi-restricted. So very uncomfortable. Hard to sleep.
Plus if you have to use the bathroom, you have to call out to them so they can "unhook you" to go to the bathroom.
I don’t have sleep apnea. The 2 other people I know that had it, probably do have it, but just did it within the past month, so haven’t had results back yet. So not sure what the treatment options are.
Have they looked at other potential causes for your fatigue? Such as some sort of virus, bacteria, fungal infection? What about an autoimmune disorder? Low thyroid? Checked your heart out?
It’s not fun…I have REM. =-(
