morgan617 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Well, I saw my Ear nose and Throat guy today, the sweetest man on earth. I haven't seen him in 2 years, because the last time I did, he had to carry me out. It was so mortifying. I swannee, he is the only doctor that has never ever made me feel small or crazy.Anyway, he said he thought I needed a sleep study, I'm not sure why, but I have been trying to get one for at least a couple of years with my primary, who refuses, saying there would be nothing we could do about it if it was abnormal. (I'm thinking CPAP, as I wake up not breathing) I told him about Dan and he said he would order it and let Dan know.So, I guess I will be getting one after all. If it makes Dan mad, so be it, it's not like I have even seen him recently. But, since I haven't had a decent visit with a doctor since I don't when, I just thought I'd post something positive for once....morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg Tired Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Makes me wonder - exactly WHAT does your other doctor think it would HURT??? At least they would record your overnight heart rate(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan617 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Gayla, I think at this point, he thinks it would just be one more thing he can't fix, or it will be normal and I will be snubbed again. Who knows. I do know for sure there is something wrong with my sleeping. Thanks Corina! morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Tired Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Well... If I had a "thumbing my nose" smilie for him - I would use it! (Can we get something like "life experience" credits for own M.D. degrees?!?!?)I can't use a c-pap myself - gives me an intractable headache - but at least OSA is documented for me. I HOPE and pray they can find something that will help you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
